SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico (AP) --An angry crowd stoned to death an Indian man accused of practicing witchcraft in a southern Mexico town with a long tradition of religious violence.
The man, Domingo Shilon Shilon, was also hacked with machetes Sunday by the crowd in San Juan Chamula, a majority Catholic township on the outskirts of the colonial city of San Cristobal, 460 miles (735 kms) southeast of Mexico City.

I know just what you're thinking. Nope, it wasn't that witch. She's still "representing" the people of her "home" state of New York!

Somehow, some way, it was probably Brigham Young's fault.

objects he allegedly used in casting spells on people. He probably was doing that ---and in Mexico there are good brujos and bad brujos ---you have to go to one of the good brujos or brujas to get a spell undone.

Reading the article, one is left to wonder whether this so-called "witch" wasn't really a Protestant (possibly Pentecostal) who was murdered due to the fact that he wasn't a synergistic Catholic.
When you want to murder someone, label them a "witch".

Excellent syntactical point! A warlock, indeed! Perhaps even an incubus!
To: Jerry_M
so-called "witch" wasn't really a Protestant I don't think so because there are a lot of real witches in Mexico and they can cause people a lot of hardship. I know a Mexican who was playing baseball and he noticed 3 women from the other team's side give him the evil eye and he lost use of his arm for over a year. It turns out they were brujas and going to several medical doctors didn't help ---he got the use of his arm after he finally went to a good bruja to get the spell undone.
