ReplyDeleteok,ok, so who is heating up the plaza? and for who? the motherfucking army only comes to fuck it all up worse than before, the governor must know who paid him to look the other way, and who did not have enough to buy it but is still trying, the mexican police can catch criminals, except when they get paid to look the other way, that is mexico for you,and communities that allow foreigners in their midst, always allow criminals and crime to take root in their midst, maybe a lynching of foreigners once in a while could help a little, more soldiers will not help, all they ever catch is a few women to rape and kill,ask cd juarez...
