God, this is an ancient story. So sad to know it's happening right now and most likely won't be ended any time soon.
The good ones protest right-wing filthy scum and get slaughtered for their trouble. Does that sound unfair, for any reason?
And the local police people just don't know if this atrocity is connected to the victims' moral political views.
Mexico is such a large country. They have a long way to go to overcome the criminals, just like the US.
