Massacres in Mexico underscore government collusion with cartels

 

Two recent massacres tell the story of human rights failures in Mexico. One massacre was committed by municipal police in Iguala, the second one by Mexican soldiers in Tlatlaya.

To be clear

 

  • This girl is dead because the police thought it would be a good idea to burst into a FAMILY home with a flash-bang and guns blazing.
  • The police thought it was a good idea to burst into a BLACK FAMILY’s home with A&E film crew to document the criminality of a BLACK family member.
  • What happened is that the WHITE police officer has shown himself to the the OPPRESSOR that he is.
  • The whole damn SYSTEM has shown itself to be the Oppressive New Jim Crow system that it is.
  • Add to the list of the four little precious Black girls killed in Birmingham Alabama, another precious little Black girl – Aiyana Stanley-Jones killed by a racist society.

Araceli Rodríguez is learning how to live without her son.

“I think the pain will never go away. I will always be without a piece of life, of my heart,” she said. “But I have three other children for whom I have to live for.”

It’s been nearly two years since 16-year-old José Antonio Elena Rodríguez was shot by a Border Patrol agent who fired through the fence in Nogales, down a steep hill and across the street on the Mexican side. The teen was hit more than 10 times in the back and head.
