More Mexicans Turn to the Lynch Mob as Crime Spirals out of Control.Quote:
“Why are you here?” shouts a voice.
“For robbing,” one of the boys mumbles.
“You see. You were little rats and now look at you,” replies the interrogator.
The torture video of the five alleged house burglars was posted on the internet last week. It is the latest sign of brutal vigilante justice spreading across Mexico.
As kidnappings, muggings and car jackings spiral out of control, and the authorities appear increasingly impotent, shadowy groups have been advocating justice by the sword.
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/mexi ... tice-crimeI don't think vigilante groups are not a threat to Mexican freedom, but they are a threat to the drug lords who started this mess in the first place. What else are the law abiding citizens supposed to do if Law Enforcement and Goverment can't provide and protection & security for them. When LE is part of the problem and can't be depended on,it is only natural for the people to provide thier on brand of justice.
If the government and LE could do its job then these groups would cease to exist.!!!
Raw video,text from source : Several hours after five teenagers were caught stealing from a luxury apartment in the Mexican city of Tepic two weeks ago, they were found half naked and severely beaten on one of the city's main thoroughfares. A week later, mobile phone footage documenting the psychological abuse they were subjected to surfaced on YouTube. DISTURBING VIDEOhttp://www.liveleak.com/view?i=afc_1256666879
