My bad, misread, ignore my post

If I took the time to enter here and post it, it's because IT HAPPENED. (and also cos probably you won't find the info in your newspaper, but you can see this image http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2015/07/20/fotos/portada.jpg in this newspaper http://www.jornada.unam.mx/; the dead of the last hurt child just happend like an hour or 2 ago)

wanted to add that this is not isolated:

-Army is being investigated for the missing of young guys in Zacatecas, some day ago,
-A month ago, mexican navy shot from helicopters vs boys in Durango causing deads and injures
-Last year local government in Ayotzinapa was involved in the murder of 43 students, many have claimed that the army was accomplice
-Army is still being investigated for killing people in Tlatlaya a pair of years ago.

Just to mention the the facts I know from current government.

I don't get it. Are they shooting their own? Why? Terror? Liquidation?

I myself don't have it so clear either steephie, there are possibly different specific reasons in each case. The common factor is that it's happening in poor, rural places. In Ayotzinapa and Ostula I can also tell that people there has been organizing themeselves against the local mafias.

What is alarming for me is that the army, MY army, is lending itself to collusion with mafias, with a big deal of irresponsability and brutality. And that I'm living under a VERY corrupt system in which there seems to be few if any consequences for these crimes, and instead an impressive effort by government and media to keep this things as silent as possible.

I see, corruption. Should've guessed.

The best solution would perhaps be to have laws against the use of military forces within the country, as long as there's no state of war of course

Depending on what Mexico is really like though, that could also mean effectively handing over the power to drug cartels and what not..

Don't know.

mexican government + nothing = mexican cartels

principians: Don't worry. Carmelo Vargas will fix the country right up.

At first I thought this was a troll telling me Michigan was under attack.

KC: That makes two of us (maybe 3 if we count Santa?)

uhhh.....ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-a-hhhhh.....

The picture *reallllly* backs up your claim. I totally see it...

krellin: How can you have so little empathy for fellow humans? principians doesn't need to prove anything to you. What gives you the right to deny the reality of his pain?

With very little research you can have an idea about what happened in Michoacán. Here are a couple articles from the last few days about impunity in Mexico:

Thanx Jece, well I have to make some precisions.

1. Around here Mich stands for Michoacán (which is a very beautiful state, where my mom once lived, so I feel more specially attached to it than to the other places I've mentioned), sorry for the confusion.

2. Krellin, as of this moment the link of the image is working again.

3. Ostula is a far town, and after the conflict with the army, the people there closed the entrance to strangers. It provoked a big deal of confusion, and Ostula people had earlier sent a communication in in which there had been more deads than there really were. Seems that the other children and the 60 y.o. were very hurt, and probably they thought they were dying. But later seems there was another communication correcting this point.

4. So it seems (and still it's not very clear to me) that we have only 1 child dead. Still we have to face the fact that the army shot against children killing one and hurting badly another 2 (plus other people, whose exact number I don't know).

5. Steephie, your idea is certainly good. I have to say that as of 2006, the army was not so used within the country, but the there was the Calderon presidential decree to allow it, because of the 'narco war'. (Up to now, that 'narco war' has proved absolutely useless, but has allowed this kind of army crimes).

Seems that due to programming issues the image won't be available at some hours of the day, so I'll put this link instead http://rubenluengas.com/ejercito-mexicano-dispara-contra-ninos-y-comuneros-de-ostula-michoacan/

Further precision:

I just had access to the actual Ostulan communications and both of them say there are 3 deads: a man of 60, a kid of 12, and a girl of 6.

There was no contradiction between the communications, and I wonder who is tryin to make things more confusing than they are.

Here you can also see some videos http://www.sinembargo.mx/21-07-2015/1422205, it was enough for me to see the first one.
