I was kind of wondering how long it would take for Mexico to come it with the indeginous version of Los Pepes.

After being held all night the students were dumped naked on the street and then attended at hospital for injuries including broken ribs.

Hopefully these "kids" have learned a powerful lesson. Maybe a turning point in their lives...

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.

“This a major problem for democracy in Mexico.”

I think Mexico is a problem for democracy in Mexico. I can't blame the people for doing something to get their streets back.

[papasmurf]

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.

La Jornada (Mexico City) 10/26/09

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.

If the vigilantes want to make a difference, they should target the drug dealers instead of 2-bit thugs.

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?

“Opening the door to justice by your own hand is an enormous step back to a state of barbarism and lack of culture,” said Huicot Rivas, the president of Nayarit’s Human Rights Commission. “In a democratic state, crime can never be used to combat crime.”

"It's better to stay at home and wait to become a victim," Rivas added. /sarcasm

When the law fails to protect this is what happens. At it's heart, the law exists to keep, individuals, families, clans and other groups from running around carrying out their own justice, which results in chaos. You can't have a prosperous, heavily populated or safe place to live without faith in the law. Even if the law is often a farce it can't be perceived as not working.

The Mexican police, politicians, et al that customarily take cash/bribes from the thugs down there could possibly lose that source of funding if this keeps up.

[SaraJohnson]

We have to work on naming the corrupt and criminal DemocRATS/ACORN “rats.” They are the party of gangs, drug dealers and felons who prey upon citizens. The Mexicans over here will get the picture.

I applaud these “vigilantes” in Mexico.

If the government and police cannot do what is needed to protect the families, then certainly, the men should ban together and do what they have to do.

I hate it, but it is needed. Now, if the rest of Mexican men would do the same thing.
