Residents Take Up Arms Against Criminals




By: Manuel Vázquez | Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat

Amecameca, Mexico October 26, 2015— Residents from three locations located in the volcano area took security into their own hands in their communities; carrying out armed guard duty.

Residents of Santa Isabel Chalma and San Francisco Zentlalpan, villages belonging to the municipality of Amecameca, and San Antonio Tlaltecahuacán, of the municipality of Tlalmanalco, have carried out guard duty since last week along the main entrances of the communities in order to keep out assailants.


(Valor: Amecameca is a municipality located between Mexico City and the Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanos.)

In Santa Isabel Chalma, armed with shotguns, machetes, and farm tools, villagers roam the streets and placed checkpoints in order to detect the presence of assailants and suspicious people.

They warned that justice will be done with the first thief that they arrest and rejected the order of the director of the municipal police of Amecameca to suspend their vigilance.

“We’ll do it as long as necessary, until we catch a thief or put an end to so many assaults on the streets, we’ve had it up to here, the assailants don’t respect anyone in the village,” said José, a 53 year old farmer and one of the leaders of the movement.

In San Antonio Tlaltecahuacán, the neighbors of the warnings passed the events and from Friday, October 23, night guards began armed with weapons and tools that they used in the fields in order to confront criminals.


On Friday night, around 30 neighbors set up checkpoints on the main entrance, where the highest number of assaults has taken place against men and women returning or leaving their jobs and school.

In San Francisco Zentlalpan, more than 100 residents of the community of San Francisco Zentlalpan met last Saturday in order to organize against the increasing state of insecurity.

Robberies, assaults, and car thefts are crimes that people have suffered through at the hands of individuals aboard a white Tsuru.

Last Wednesday, a university student who came from the Federal District and was walking down the street Progreso, at the entrance of the village, was caught by a subject on a motorcycle who signaled him to stop and behind the motorcycle was a white Tsuru.  Three individuals stepped out leaving a man and a woman inside.

The individuals who carry out the attacks have not been identified by their victims since they wear balaclavas and carry guns.  The residents affected hand over their belongings for fear of being hurt and run away from the place.

German Guzmán Segura, who is the second delegate from the village, said that the people are tired of the insecurity and the authorities do nothing about it, for example in recent days, electricians from the Federal Commission of Electricity cut power to several lamps that illuminate the stop at the entrance of the village.

Braulio Martínez, who is the director of the municipal police, attended the meeting that was organized by the neighbors.  He promised to leave a permanent patrol vehicle for the municipality and the village of Aldea de los Reyes and that he would send a patrol vehicle for support while carrying out patrols along the main streets.

Neighbors didn’t comply with what the director offered them; they decided to start organizing for patrols in various parts of the municipality to protect the people.

“Any bastard who is caught stealing is going to be lynched,” said the neighbors.

Update:

A day after the first article was published, at 8:42 today, Tuesday, October 27, 2015, three assailants who were going to be lynched were “rescued”.  The residents managed to trap three assailants who were responsible for the assassination of a youth who sold videogames.  The police arrived and one of the assailants managed to escape.  Residents were furious at the police for rescuing the assailants so they burned one of their patrol cars.

    6. It won't be long before their useless corrupt security forces come in and take their weapons because as everyone knows, private ownership of firearms is illegal. It's funny, for a country that claims to have strict gun control there sure is a lot of people with firearms, all be it the public is woefully under armed when it comes to everyone else. It's a real shame that the public does not have the ability to acquire more sophisticated weapons to combat the shitbags in the drug gangs and government.

    9. @11:28 comment still stand true...when Zetas were running over everyone, Michoacanos were the first to smash them....when the CT who smashed the Zetas then tried to thug on the people, they smashed the CT. they've been smashing fools since the Aztecs had all everyone enslaved...Purepechas (Tarascos) from Michoacan were the first to smash the Aztecs...so even though homeboy got it wrong on this story, he got everything else right...now i didn't disrespect anyone else's, stateso don't start hating on Michoacan. If you want to cheerlead for your state, i would love to heara it if you can do it with disrespecting others and thus yourself.

    10. @8:18 i dont think all firearms are illegal...just certain ones

    11. @4:27 #1 It wasn't the CT who "smashed" the Zetas it was La Familia. Anyway the Z weren't "smashed" but rather betrayed by La Familia. The Z saved La Familia from getting their ass handed to them by Milenio Cartel who was backed the Federation. The Michoacanos had nothing to do with the Z being killed. Get the facts straight.

  4. Christian Lopez PalafoxOctober 28, 2015 at 12:22 AM

    I have officially made my decision to run for president of Mexico in 2018. As president I will down size the government, every governor, mayor, and public servant with suspicions or ties with organized crime will be removed from office or arrested, and clean elections would be set up. I would also take advantage of Mexico's vast natural resources de privatizing the current juggernaut and stepping out of isolation. By striking a loan agreement with other world powers I would bring major economic reform by reconstructing Mexico's infrastructure starting with its capital cities throughout the country. Making it mandatory for children 16 and under to attend school, providing grants to students who have completed school in order to integrate more knowledgeable people into the new work force as well as providing training for the massive reconstruction and increasing wages. With a positive growth in the country, I would then implement the death penalty, making offenders eligible if they commit 2 or more murders or have killed in a heinous matter usually executing the offender within a month. By taking a bold stance against organized crime I will fight to elevate Mexico and bring it out of the depths of the barrel when it concerns its standing with the rest of the world, economically and educational wise. There's a reason the US leads the world and I would use some of those qualities and apply them in Mexico. Vote for me Christian Lopez Palafox 2018

    1. No, Christian Lopez P. The death penalty isn't progressive thinking. While, you're thinking is correct on the importance of education, the details are flakey. More laws foisted upon the citizenry leave the doors wide open for continued corruption. Mexicans know the need universal education and healthcare better than anyone. No need to put a gun to anybody's head to get them to go to school. LEGALIZE pot and TAX, use the revenue for public works, like schools, job creation and job training, and for hospitals. Nationalizing industry has always been one of my favorites, that's cool. But, no more ripping Mother Earth's guts out, that's fucked. The manufacturing sector needs serious development to replace the extraction industries and narco jobs. Labor Unions are also necessary. Green My Job Mother Earth Is Hiring.

    2. Listen to the Tree Huger, Christian... People talk like change comes easy, everyone has a plan.... They also speak from a place of Privilege and think that change is easy because they live it.... The United States is a monster that took years to create and we enjoy the benefits, we also look down on those that live under miserable conditions because we think of the opportunities that we have and how easy it is to protest....Legalizing pot and taxing may one day work for us here in the States but there aren't enough Checks and Balances in Mexico to keep people in honest.... Someone should let the migrants that the Cartels kidnap, that if they had a Union things would be better....

    4. After passing la "Reforma energetica" and getting their estados in debt for the next 50 years, and the prices of oil coming down to elimitate profits for the host countries, mexican governors have increased "real safety measures to protect the new lords of pemex and their newly acquired assets, but because they will not be paid much, crime will have to stay, to make up for the short pay and the long hours, and the people will have to keep paying for it...

The French revolution was blood soaked, crazed and lasted years. Mexico knows what revolution is, too.

    3. Those times have come and gone, sad to say...If one individual was creating these crimes, there would be an outrage, you know..UN, Human rights, Bla, Bla, Bla.... But the truth is that Mexico's most important exports are the drugs that many individuals consume, we all know it yet no one of importance that can bring about change will admit it... As far as the U.S. getting involved, that won't happen until you have the same people rising up against the cartels, rise up against their own government, and the U.S. will either help the current Mexican Government or those individuals that can offer them something in return....

  15. They will not come to the rescue of the people when they are being assaulted, but they will come to the rescue of the criminals.

  17. These guys are trying to do the right thing by protecting their town when punk a$$ chotas on the take won't do anything.

    Well, chotas will do something, but it won't benefit guys like German Guzman Segura. People like Guzman Segura are on borrowed time. These police follow money, and when paid by those who rob and steal...will go to work for those who rob and steal...and then will inevitably show up only after shit goes down.

    Chotas in Mexico never hear or know about shady sh!t because they're always doing shady sh!t.

    Nice the police allow the FCE-errrrr I mean los rateros that cut the power out on lights where these assaults happen.

    Sometimes there's a silver lining.

    1. Your right that the government will eventually kill all of them right after they take away their guns first but that's only if they decide to show their faces like the stupid Autodefensa leaders did though! I would recommend them not to directly confront the government if approached by them however! The government will never admit that they cannot handle all the delinquency in the country unfortunately and will never allow its people to carry arms!

If you accidentally step on their stupid boots in a bar you get shot at! If a narco likes your g friend and can't have her you get shot at! If you turn on your radio louder than theirs while living next to one, you get shot at! If a narco doesn't like that you glanced in the direction of his plastic filled girlfriend you get shot at! If you sing louder than them you get shot at! If you don't go to bed at night when they tell you in the pueblitos or ask them permission to throw a party you get shot at! But that's ok, cuz they don't mess with the people, no sir they are the guardians of the people!
