Third journalist killed in Mexico in less than a week

[Judi Lynn]

1. It appears journalists aren't making a fortune working in Mexico.

This man was not the first to be assassinated at his store he had to run, in addition to his job, to keep his family fed, clothed, and sheltered. It was within the year another man, also a journalist, who had to operate a small grocery store attached to his home was mowed down there, also.

It became a tradition in the recent past for journalists to hold a vigil after assassinations of journalists, and to take pictures of the journalist on the cement, along with his/her camera, and other journalists standing by in his memory. So sad that this has become a ritual, and the local governments STILL don't really knock themselves out trying to bring the assassins to justice. Very often, the local politicians, business people, police ARE part of the problem the journalist was investigating.
