Mexico's Lost Youth: Generation Narco

Can't Post | Private Reply

There is a chilling article in Time magazine about many young people joining the drug gangs. It begins:

The grainy video of torture and murder looks like so many that have come out of Mexico this year: a bleeding man is tied to a chair; the victim screams for mercy; an assassin's hand swings in with a machete. However, when soldiers on Oct. 29 stormed a house in central Mexico where the snuff film was allegedly made, they uncovered a brutal detail. The gangsters behind the terror were not just veterans of the narco wars, but included several 18- and 19-year olds. The teenagers, paraded before the press with acne, scruffy hair and loud t-shirts, were also accused of hanging victims from freeway bridges, genitals sliced from their bodies.

Also, if you are interested in how the state of affairs in Mexico are right now, I highly recommend watching the movie by Luis Estrada "El Infierno"....Excellent Flick!

Elements of atrocity

Can't Post | Private Reply

Reminds me of a Holywood comedy in 1960's. System and organization.
When brutality is institutionalized as a system in an organization, it provides euphoria to its practitioner.
Mostly such organizations utilize teen-agers. Tens of thousands were beat to death after guilty verdict by teen-ager red revolutionists at the peoples' court and my father risked his life to escape the communist regime even though he was a proletarian. The image of so many heads chopped off and displayed in the Blogdelnarco constantly is swirling around in my mind all day long everyday, and I'm wondering what the elements of the brutality of human mind is.

British and French chopped the heads for humanitarian reason. The excuted usually bribed for clean shot. It doesn't seem to be so in the case of Mexican narcos. But I know the ultimate solution.

It is CONTRACEPTIVE.

Less kids, better furure.
