    2. Praying for the Mexican people? It's a narco society founded on corruption and violence. I have to laugh at the thought of them repenting.

    4. I don't mean to make it seem like I'm undermining 8 people losing their lives in juarez in 2 days, but 2 or 3 years ago 8 dead in juarez in 1 day would've been considered pretty peaceful. It seems the violence there has really taken a dip.
