Mexico: protests at admission that 43 missing students were massacred
Guardian UK ^ | 09 November 2014 | Jo Tuckman

Growing anger in Mexico at federal inaction after revelation that the missing teachers were burned in a huge funeral pyre ___ A demonstration sparked by the Mexican government’s announcement that 43 student teachers disappeared by police in the southern city of Iguala six weeks ago were probably massacred in a rubbish dump, ended at the weekend with masked protesters setting fire to the wooden door of the ceremonial presidential palace in Mexico City’s main Zócalo plaza.

The protesters broke away from the otherwise peaceful demonstration as it drew to a close, tearing down the protective metal fences set up around the palace at its imposing door before they set it on fire. Clashes with riot police followed before the square was cleared.

Anger over the disappearance of the students, after they were attacked by municipal police in Iguala on 26 September, has been mounting in recent weeks. Protests have included large marches, and attacks on public buildings and bus stations.

Those “students” were Communists who had high jacked buses.

Good riddance to them.

What a delightful society they have in Mexico. We should open our borders and stop enforcing immigration law so that we may fully merge our two nations. What could go wrong?

Iguala was where the Treaty of 1824 was signed. Lately the entire Education system in the State of Guerrero appears more on the teaching of HOW to start a riot, and block highways, and perform civil hectic messes. Teachers don’t go to learn Education Philosophies, but how to exert political clout through activism. The group apparently had come to town with some success to cause disruptions. The local police apparently rounded them up, and they were handed over to a pseudo militia group connected with narco lords. Sometimes Human Rights intervenes, and local authorities can’t ROUGH UP those they pick up, and so they turn them over to the goons to give them a lesson. It apparently got way out of hand, I’m sure the group of protesters resisted. Kind of like the police in Ferguson, no one wants to tattle tale on their next door neighbors, and outsiders really don’t understand. The question that is slow being raised is WHO WAS behind this group of 43 protesters, who was responsible to organize and assist them to cause havoc?

I heard from Jeff Praether (ex-DEA guy in Tucson, broke the story on taking riffles away from Border Patrol), that these were “coeds.”

We’ll even throw in a few Costa Ricans and a Guatemalan for good measure.

Most, if not all of the deceased were male.

This is the first time I see them described as “student teachers”; now I understand why they may have been killed. Teachers in Mexico are far-left (like our own unionized public school teachers).

Maybe whoever killed them didn’t want high taxes like we have in NJ as our public school teachers bleed us dry...
