I was kind of wondering how long it would take for Mexico to come it with the indeginous version of Los Pepes.
Baseball Batman lives!!!!
Hopefully these "kids" have learned a powerful lesson. Maybe a turning point in their lives...
Whiskey for my men and beer for our horses.
At least Mexicans can shoot their criminals....
Here in the USA, we decided to jail Border Patrol agents for apprehending and shooting an illegal alien drug dealer.
Will the Anti-American Bigots and Hispano-Racists who push Illegal Alien Amnesty allow Americans to defend themselves when the Mexican illegal aliens commit crimes in America?
Probably not....
Watch this will get a lot of support from misguided FReepers. The good will towards vigilantes is usually short lived. By their nature, vigilantes rarely take much care to truly ascertain the guilt of their victims, and act on mere accusation alone. The end result is usually tragic.
I think Mexico is a problem for democracy in Mexico. I can't blame the people for doing something to get their streets back.
The bigger threat is the Government, The Police, and the Army.
I, for one, an glad to see the people of Mexico standing up for themselves, for a change.
Mexico is mayhem, and yes, it is here too.
A little more ‘vigilante’ justice in Mexico reported today by NAFBPO.

Sensitivity training for police
After 34 hours of detention in the town jail of Alcozauca in the mountains of Guerrero state, 29 members of the town police were released. A group of 200 or so locals, mostly indigenous Mixtecos, had jailed the police because of their alleged mistreatment of the local population. A lengthy negotiation with higher authorities won their release.

Near Xalapa, Veracruz, local authorities seized 374.61 kilos of marihuana and arrested two men, both from the state of Oaxaca.
By the Grace of God, I was born in America, and I am truly thankful for that.
I could not begin to imagine being a Mexican living in Mexico having to deal with whats going on over there. I can barley handle this administration and what's going on here!
I certainly wouldn't mind if the "moderates" in Afghanistan and Iraq start taking care of their terrorists and taking back their streets.
Is the alternative any less tragic?
In the end, the wind up being identical. You just trade one thug for another.
My thoughts exactly. I read Killing Pablo a while back, great book.
Widespread vigilantism is the last deep breath before anarchy. In fact, it’s one of the warning signs of an impending anarchic state.
It most likely is organized crime that is financing and encouraging these groups. But think about that: drug dealers, brothel owners, and extortionists want a less crime ridden society. How bad does it have to be when that is the truth.
Law enforcement is a joke in Mexico. If you are Police and aren’t on a criminal’s payroll, you are starving. They simply don’t pay enough to make a living. The Army is just as bad in some areas where the officers rent out men and heavy equipment for drug families who are at war with each other.
Social order has completely collapsed in Mexico, and people there are desperate for a normal life. Two bit punks will be caught in this crossfire and killed. Not that I feel sorry for the criminals, but the nation of Mexico is about to unravel.
And violence only begets violence, right?
If I lived in Mexico, I'd be afraid to trust the police, military, and probably even my neighbor.
Vigilantism occurs when those who are appointed to carry out justice do not do so.
Notice how “Human Rights Commissions” never give a damn about the rights of crime victims?
