A judge ordered eight adults committed to a prison psychiatric facility for 40 years on Thursday for the grisly exorcism slayings of a seven-month-old baby and a 13-year-old girl in a remote mountain community in western Mexico.
The brutality of the Dec. 7 killings -- the baby was hacked to death and dismembered while the teenager killed with stones -- has shocked Mexico. Officials say the killers were the victims' own parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, who had become convinced the girls were demons or possessed by the devil.
They carried out the ritual slayings, accompanied by prayers, the lighting of candles and the sacrifice of farm

another reason we should close the border
It was reported circa 1967 that a farmer outside Mexico City sacrificed his daughter and sprinkled her blood over his fields. He wanted to increase the fertility of the fields. However, this type of thinking terminates once these people are over our border and safely on the welfare roles.
In fairness, stories like these are hardly more common in Mexico than they are anywhere else. Ritual sacrifice generally went out when Cortes destroyed Tenochtitaln.

Abortion is illegal in Mexico.
Well aware of that. I said the United States.
As for Mexico, watching El Papa decry the commercialization of Christmas makes me want to hurl. When I lived in Mexico, I saw Mexicans following the church's teachings on procreation, literally starving, along with their 5+ kids, but worshipping in gold-laden cathedrals. El Papa likes to preach about the love of money...but in practice the church has failed its flock absolutely by encouraging poverty through procreation. One can be pro-life and not be an imbecile. The church should either advocate the use of birth control or give up some of its gold (it is the wealthiest private organization on the planet) to pay for the kids. I won't hold my breath waiting for El Papa to do the right thing. Too much money to be made with the status quo.
This family sounds like they should be starring in a Mexican version of Deliverance.
They [the police] traveled on foot -- the only way into the remote, three-house hamlet where the family lived -- and found the baby girl mutilated, and the body of 13-year-old Juana Perez Frausto tied to a stake and battered to death.
The baby, Maria Elena Perez Gutierrez, had had her arms and legs cut off, and her belly cut open. The suspects later claimed that they saw animal excrement instead of her intestines.
About 10 children and adults -- members of the same extended family of about 30 -- were found locked into a house, where they had been confined for three days, apparently because they too were suspected of being possessed.
Ismael Gonzalez, private secretary to the mayor of Penjamo, located 290km west of Mexico City, said the suspects were known as "a normal family."
The suspects -- Reinaldo Perez Hernandez and Hermelinda Frausto Lopez, the parents of the 13-year-old -- and the parents of the baby, -- helped kill their daughters, but were found not responsible for murder due to insanity.
You wouldn't want this crew trimming your shrubs? Don't worry there's a crew just like them somewhere doing a job you wouldn't want to do.
"Evil does not stop at the Rio either, El Presidente Jorge Arbusto!"
Just doing the family values killing "Americans Won't Do!"
It's like reading individual news stories from the U.S. and jumping to conclusions. We're not all like Tookie, now are we?
It's not just one story. The facts are that Mexico has exported to the USA several million people who are absolutely non-educated and superstitious.
America doesn't need or want to import any more poverty, disease, ignorance and dependence. We're brimming over with it and don't want to pay the high price it is costing us.
So I guess you're calling me a retard, ey?
Not what I said, unless the shoe fits.
As for the wealthiest private organization I'll nominate the Federal Reseve System.
You're entitled to your opinion but you're wrong. I've been in many cathedrals in Mexico and in Central America. The saddest visit was to one in Guadalajara...poor Indian peasant woman walking on her knees from the door of the cathedral up to pray before a mummified body in a glass coffin. The body was purportedly a Christian saint from the Roman catacombs. Heck, at least they weren't selling slivers of the cross.
George W. Bush endorses the "demographic revolution" that Bill Clinton said he hoped would end "European culture" in America, the GOP presidential hopeful went on to call for a lifting of the legal limits on immigration.
In an interview ignored by the liberal press, as well as his GOP rivals, Bush told the editorial board of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, that "we ought to increase legal immigration." ......
Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande River," he said. "If you're a mother and dad, and you got kids to feed, and you're making 50 cents and you see someone in Iowa making $50, and you care about those kids, you're coming."
Bush suggested that because Americans aren't skilled enough to handle the demands of an economy driven by high-tech industries, "we ought to increase legal immigration for our country's advantage. The high-tech world that we are now dominate is dependent on educated folks, but we're short of workers. It is to our advantage to encourage high-powered, smart people to come into this country," he said.
Now WHY do we need to end "European culture"? Does "European culture" stop at the Rio Grande? Are we being told that now Latin/Central American Culture is to be preferred? Is that not Racism and "eee-litism"? I guess Spanish speakers serve a better cup of tea in Kennebunk, and as the OBL-ers say here, clean the toilets "Americans Won't Clean"!
I held my nose and voted for this POS in 2000...I wrote in Tancredo in 2004!
Rest assured I will NEVER vote for ANY Bush ever again! Nor any candidate that they have "groomed"! That goes double for any "Brokeback Republicans" that the R(I)N(O)C tries to push on us!
Thank you, BQ!
