If they were Zetas I have no sympathy...
ReplyDeletewell said.
DeleteKill all zeros, I mean zetas
ReplyDeleteThe fact they shot back is some proof they were bad characters as having a weapon on you is illegal.
ReplyDeleteI do feel sad about the 12 year old though. Bad luck his life ending so early and he probably too young to even know what he was really involved in and maybe was forced to go along with it.
