Mexican Gangs Threaten School Children
Every day, the stories coming from Mexico get worse. Nothing surprises me at this point. Not even this:
MEXICO CITY â Elementary school teachers are the latest victims of an exploding extortion racket in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, as criminal gangs threaten educators to either hand over their coming Christmas bonuses or see harm done to their families or students, teachers' groups say.
With Monday a school holiday and news of the threats spreading in the media, on the Internet and by word of mouth during the long weekend, there were fears that an increasing number of parents would keep their children at home today, forcing additional schools to close. [Dallas News]
Is anybody going to come forward and claim this is just a temporary problem? Shall we double our drug war donations to restore law and order? Letâs get real. The drug war is destroying the entire country before our eyes and thereâs no limit to how bad it can get.
Itâs amazing to witness the criminal feeding frenzy that is now erupting all over the country now that the drug war has turned Mexicoâs justice system into a complete mockery. Dangerous levels of police corruption have created a horrific laboratory in which violent criminals have begun experimenting with all sorts of terrible schemes. Can you even imagine whatâs next?
If anything can solve the crime problems plaguing Mexico, it will have to be the exact opposite of everything we're doing right now.
