Caravan of displaced indigenous people repelled with tear gas in Chiapas

Police used tear gas Saturday in Chiapas against members of the one caravan in Mexico whose destination is not the United States.

The caravan — made up of as many as 500 displaced indigenous people — had been marching from San Cristóbal de las Casas to the capital, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, arriving in time for the annual report to the state Congress by Governor Manuel Velasco Coello.

Police responded with tear gas when the marchers attempted to enter the building, which triggered a counterattack in which the latter threw rockets, stones and other projectiles at police.

This article shows the hypocrisy of the Mexican government.

Hmmm. Seems they displaced themselves.

In Chiapas?

Not sure how the leftists will blame that on Trump. But I’m sure they’ll find a way.

Did they do blood tests to determine there’s no spanish in them?

Every violent act is blamed on Trump’s rhetoric.

Well, well, well!
I made sure I checked the date of this article before reacting.
Here lately, some on FR have began a confusing and annoying habit of posting years OLD articles on still hot topics.
Talk about anti-climatic.

I wish my arm was powerful enough to throw rockets.

“displaced indigenous people’’. Wow. There’s a contraction in terms.

Thanks, good music.

You don’t like recycled news? :-)

This is recent news.

If they’re indigenous, why are they leaving? Who is displacing them ?For what reason do they they think they are entitled to settle in the USA? If they aren’t willing to fight for their land, we don’t need the faggots here. Fuck off Aztecs.

[Rusty0604]

They’re not coming here, don’t intend to.

[jmacusa]

My sentiments exactly. This isn't Central America of some forty or fifty years ago. Up until recently Honduras , Guatemala and E Salvador were some of the most socially stable and economically and agriculturally successful countries in Latin America. But their populations didn't think that was enough so eschewing free market capitalism and parliamentary democracy they opted for socialism and this is the predictable result. And in their monumental arrogance and selfishness this garbage feels We The People of The United States are some how to blame for their plight and as such they feel that gives them the right to barge on in here.

In my haste, I failed to read the article. So it’s the Mexican government bashing their own folks. Forget it Jake, it’s Mexico. They should fight for their land though. Hope it goes well for the Aztecs. Do they even have representation for what that is worth in the Mexican political arena ?

the marchers... threw rockets, stones and other projectiles at police.

Rockets? Where'd they get 'em, Rockets R Us?

[antidemoncrat]

They have also been very quiet about the additional 4 to 5 thousand still heading to Tijuana haven’t they.

“Forget it Jake, it’s Mexico.”

LOL

As usual, the media has lied to us. It was NOT TEAR GAS.
