It is a shame that this American got killed. There is risk involved when one goes to a country in civil upheaval. I do not agree with the guy's politics and alignment with the Marxists. Yet this is what happens when local order is turned over to mob rule.
Protestors were killed in the LA Riots by police, too. Sad, very sad. And SO STUPID. The police wouldn't be out there if the anarchists hadn't been fomenting chaos.
Mexico today, the U.S. tomorrow
It stinks when some child of privilege with a fine education and all the advantages suffers from Marxist delusions and actually goes off to impoverished regions of the world and helps make things miserable for innocent families who are trying to live their lives in peace.
No doubt he deluded himself with the illusion that he was "helping" them by siding with violent revolutionaries and power-drunk Marxist thugs.
Probably he had a couple of Che Guevara T-shirts in his backpack, to wear on social occasions.
Sad, but he was not entirely innocent, if this story is correct.
Unfortunately, I think you are right.
"Probably he had a couple of Che Guevara T-shirts in his backpack, to wear on social occasions."
No probably about it... checked out Brad Will and found a great deal of info. His email address was bradley@risingup.net and he was a self-described anarchist who was also involved in socialist revolution tactics in Brazil last year, now down in Mexico instigating more of his beloved Marxist revolution. He was also on the anarchist violence watch-list for the NYC GOP convention a few years ago.
"To Will, anarchy means “anti-authoritarian,” “anti-oppression,” “self-rule,” “local control” and, ideally, no government. He contributed a chapter on community gardens to a book on global movements, “We Are Everywhere,” in which he identified himself as an anarchist."

hmmm, anyone who doesn't think we are going to end up in war with Mexico over this?
I smell Hugo Chavez's hand in this mess. The US cannot let this moron steal the next election.

Pronunciation, please, anyone? Looks like owa-hah-ka to me (since the X in Mexico sounds like an H).
War in Mexico versus war with Mexico: We're already involved.
pronouced generally - wa ha' ka

Kinda reminds me of the idiot who lived with the grizzlies and ended up becoming their main course. I wonder what his last conscious thought was...."Hey, wait a minute, I'm a school trained journalist, I'm supposed to be detached, above it all, impervious to the events around me. Besides, I'm one of you...***click***
A lot of this violence is being perpetrated by AMLO and his goons.
Activist and journalist. Once these were two different things...
