This is a followup to a thread I posted earlier today (please pay attention to my opening "Comments" for full details) on the complete takeover of Oaxaca by APPO leftists today, after the Oaxacan section of the teacher's union voted to end their strike and reopen the schools. I predicted earlier this week that if this happened then APPO would react violently and their seizure of the town, blockading of the roads, and the forced closure of businesses has evidently provoked a reaction in the absence of any real police power.

It is just a guess on my part, but I believe what we are seeing in these pictures are vigilante groups organized by local businessmen and PRI leaders who are responding to APPO's takeover with guns. It's anarchy, pure and simple.

If I didn't see the headline on this thread before seeing the photos, I would have thought the Detroit Tigers had just won the World Series or something.

Tragic...some good photos of the perps which I hope leads to their arrest, conviction and death!

RIP to the cameraman and peace to his family.

Was this pic of the attacker killing his victim?

I was in a gun fight and that is exactly what I remember. You can hardly tell there is a gun in his hand except for the stance he takes and just a shadow of something in his hand.

And the Mexican apologizers wonder why we don't treat our neighbors to the north the same way we treat them?

I hope it was worth it, Indymedia, whatever the hell good you guys think you were doing down there in wild-ass Mexico.

Warning! Cameras look like guns.

Maybe the shooter and the camera man had similar politics...but the shooter isn't a trained cop who'll hold his fire before dropping a target with a threatening appearance.

Just a possible explanation.

The other explanation may be the "revolution" that hasn't ended in Mexico for nearly a century nursed by the ancient beast of athiest/communist/socialist anti-Christian movement sucking on the teet of the pagan snake worshipping pre-Christian satanic cannibal cult.

This political tactic has already been used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

The pre-Nazi SA got into massive drinking brawls which halted German society. Then the SA put on a uniform to form militias to stop the fighting they themselves created. Bringing false "order" back into society, they gave the appearance of legitimacy to gain political popularity.

Mexico is experiencing the same thing.

Holy Crap.

I'm still digesting this news. I've heard about a lot of foreigners - student types - going down to witness and "be part of history".

Forgive me ignorance, but where is Fox in all this? Shouldn't he have this situation under control by now?

I have to agree that it's anarchy if the police are confined to their barracks and the leftists roam at will shutting down commerce. My guess about FOX is that he doesn't want to deal with this and hopes the lid will stay on until he leaves office.
