"So it currently appears that liberal IndyMedia photographer Brad Will was possibly killed by "friendly fire" from hyped-up APPO gunmen?"

Actually; it appears that he was killed by vigilantes -- I am very hesitant to use the term "paramilitaries" in the way IndyMedia.org and the rest of the MSM do because it leaves us with the assumption that there is something legitimate about APPO -- organized to combat APPO's complete takeover of Oaxaca City today (see the link I put up in my "Comments" at the beginning of this thread to the earlier thread today for more on that).

Remember that APPO began seizing and closing businesses throughout Oaxaca City today. That kind of assault is directed against private property and the livelihoods of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals. In the complete absence of police protection, it should not be surprising that they pick up guns and go after those who are taking everything they have away from them.

I do not condone violence, but if you and yours come to take everything I have then you should not be surprised if I pick up a gun to stop you.

Actually they invariably use the term "Right Wing Death Squads" for right wing -- in fact any non-lefist -- paramilitary (or lesser organized group). Any such group on the left will (in this case with very, very occasional exceptions) be referred to at worst in neutral descriptive terms, and often enough positively, e.g. as "freedom fighters".

Protecting property from leftist thugs? Yeah, that'll definitely make you a "Right Wing Death Squad" per the MSM.

Thank you for posting. This is getting absolutely no coverage here in the US.

Who are the guys in the red shirts? Or was it just a random fashion choice?

Also, where's the army and the government of Mexico?
