So much for Merry Christmas.

Of late, the only people engaging in things like this have been Muslims...

Hmmm....Don't see the "It's Bush's Fault^TM" angle in the story yet. But the night is young and the AP is predictable...

My family spent a week on a mission trip in Juticalpa, in central Honduras, this year. The people are wonderful, polite and industrious. Prayers to the families and to the country.

In the note, the killers present themselves as a revolutionary group that opposes the death penalty

You can't make this stuff up.

“In the note, the killers present themselves as a revolutionary group that opposes the death penalty,” something Lobo has promoted in political ads, he said.

So they kill innocent people to protest the death penalty?

I should add to any who don't travel the world or know much about it, Honduras has a huge gang crime problem probably over drug turfs. This note tells me that this gang was afraid of a law and order candidate and sent a message.

Honduras is so poor and exploited that crime gangs become a way of life with gang membership reaching the size of small armies.

Gunmen opened fire on a public bus in northern Honduras late Thursday, killing at least 23 passengers and wounding 16 others, police said.

Opening up on passengers on a bus? Killing 23? This nothing short of brutal terrorism to our south now.

Evil vermin, scum, and slime are all over the globe. They must be squashed like that which they are.

[RegT]

Bad day for Honduras. 23 people is a lot for a single attack.

"many of the dead are women and children"

Sounds vaguely like the methods used by the religion of peace.
