....The Mexican government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their capitol or government offices, but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy.

Interesting article.
We should adopt the same Mexican laws especially on protesting. Not a citizen, then shut your mouth, behave yourself or take your sorry @$$ home !

Having said that can you shed more light on your experience vs that in the story? Do you think the other story was made up? Does the experience vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In other words, what is the truth regarding this matter?
