The sisters were on vacation in Michoacan and were attending a clandestine cock fight when attackers opened fire, family says
g with the funeral and everything -- having my sister in the hospital," Alex said.
The family is still making funeral arrangements for Melissa. Arleth was supposed to be back in school in Warrenville next week but her family now has no idea when she will be able to return.
The family said Arleth will have a long road to recovery and will likely need screws in her spinal cord.
Michoacan has been the scene of a longstanding turf battle between local cartels and the Jalisco cartel from the neighboring state of Jalisco. The fighting has included the use of bomb-dropping drones, landmines and homemade armored cars.
Cock fighting, while illegal in many areas, remains a popular pastime in parts of Mexico, though the fights are usually held clandestinely.
The cocks should just stick to playing piano
Its so much worse when women are killed. /s
Thats what the gynocracy shouts with these pieces.
If not tell me where are all the same sympathetic puff pieces about any of the men at this stupid illegal event.
Made them feel right at home...
there is NOTHING in mexco worth yer life, nothing...
Because illegal cock fighting is the place to BE on vacation...
There isn’t a thing that can happen in central and south America (and Haiti etc) that doesn’t have a local angle to the story now.
This sounds really gay.
In Mexico isn’t healthcare “free?”
Poor woman. Never stood a chance. Going from Chicago, one huge murderous hellhole, to Mexico? An even bigger hell hole?
What was she thinking?
The only reason this story is newsworthy, is she didn’t get shot the normal way in Chicago.
If only they had stayed home and gone to Subway for a 2:00 am tuna fish sandwich during MAGA happy hour.
A guy I know with a fancy for Latina women who moved to Mexico when he retired. I wouldn’t be surprised if his bones are now whitening somewhere in a Mexican desert after he got drunk in a bar and flirted with the girlfriend of some drug lord.
One of my best friends is from Michoacan. She has only one immediate family member remaining in Mexico, and she would never consider going back there. It was "only" desperately poor when she grew up there (born the same year as I was), but now, as this article points out, murders all the time.
She says the United States is the best country on earth, "the land of opportunity," where there is no discrimination and everyone can work if they want to. This is from a dark-skinned, non-English-speaking woman with a 6th grade education.
well, let’s all hope it’s a learning experience...
Kinda wanted to go....but never did.
I've heard of illegal cock fighting going on......though.
Hanging around and staring at a bunch of cocks is not what a mother of 4 should have been doing...
Send her entire family back to Mexico. They’re all criminals.

Maybe the mother of 4 shouldn’t have been at a cockfight in Mexico.
