"
The story is being manipulated"
Yes it is. I'm going to put up a translation of that for the rest of our group who may show up.

Black Friday for Oaxaca. The city left literally besieged and the state paralyzed in the midst of barricades and major highway blockades, which triggered shootouts in 15 strategic points of this capital, which up to now left two dead, among them, the U.S. camera photographer Bradley Roland Hill and teacher Emilio Alonso Fabian, and 10 wounded moreover, one person disappeared and what appears to be three kidnapped teachers.
The spokesman for APPO, Florentino Lopez Martinez, confirmed the death of the camera photographer of Indymedia, New York, United States, and of the teacher of sector D-III-34 of Candelaria Loxicha, and said that they decreed a "Maximum Alert" facing new attacks perpetrated by the state government and supported in the PRI-controlled municipal authorities. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's no mention of APPO doing anything, one might just get the feeling from reading the above that they are nothing but a peaceful group of people struggling on in the tradition of Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King,
blah! blah! blah!
No one's heard about APPO and their actions yesterday ...
This is APPO at Santa Lucia del Camino, Oaxaca yesterday:
"There's no mention of APPO doing anything, one might just get the feeling from reading the above that they are nothing but a peaceful group of people struggling on in the tradition of Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King, blah! blah! blah!" FOX News reported today that the protesters were "teachers and poor people".
I think they also made sure to note that the Indymedia guy was shot by police.
