Seriously?
We've
all been hearing about this town in Mexico, Juarez. Juarez has had over
300 deaths and countless people missing just since January 1st. Yes,
that is in the last 9 weeks. It is complete madness there. The drug
cartel has completely invaded the government and the police. They have
forced the resignation of the police chief after murdering 6 cops in
one day. The violence is spilling into the U.S. where many of the more
affluent have come to get away from them; including the town's mayor
who has had attempts on his life and threats to his children. They have
murdered activists protesting the drug cartels and journalists writing
about it.
The President of Mexico, in a last ditch effort to
keep some sense of civility, sent in military troops because the police
force is completely corrupt. They sent in lots of troops. Thousands of
them and thousands more are coming. Since they've come in, murders,
which were previously averaging six per day have lowered to five per
week.
Mexico pours troops into border city stricken by drug war - CNN.comThis
is a good start, right? Not according to human rights activists who
think the troops are a threat to the rights of the citizens. You see,
it appears that the decision to put surveillance cameras all over the
city so they can see what is going on and requiring citizens to carry
their ID with them everywhere is unacceptable to these activists.
