Dr Mireles Irate at Soldiers for Refusing to Help Autodefensas in a Templarios Attack

La Mira:
Wednesday at 9:00 PM, via radio, all the autodefensa were invited to a call because Templarios initiated a shooting against a family on  Estarzuela Ranch. 

In 5 minutes there were 40 armed trucks and ready to go, but the soldiers didn’t want to let us go, because we brought weapons, then I told them:

Go with us assholes, that is your job! They said that they didn't have permission to leave their position.

With all the violence that is occurring, what did those sons of a bitches do?

They photographed the plates of our trucks, and they stayed, they didn’t go with us.

When we got there, the engine of a friend’s car was running,  his daughter had a large wound from a grenade.

What did this 11 year old child do to them?  [to deserve that]

I know that I’m going to die against these assholes, but I will keep after them, until I can no longer do anything. I have been ambushed seven times, and suffered  a plane crash and I am still here.

And where were the fucking soldiers that were sent to protect us?

They didn’t want to go because they didn’t have permission, so their big task, was to take photos of our  trucks.

Why?

Now what are they going to do? [With the photos]

This is what we are demanding; a fair delivery of justice.

If they are not going to help us fighting the assholes, then don’t hinder us!

It’s really so simple.

If the government is not fulfilling their duties, the people have the right to remove  and replace them, that is what we are demanding. 

[Mexican National Autodefensas]

We are educating awareness at the universities, we have meetings with intellectual people of all the states, we don’t want what is occurring in Michoacán, we don’t want to have to arm ourselves,  to defend oneself from those assholes, we don’t want to do that, we want peace in all of Mexico.

And only we citizens can guarantee it ourselves because the government doesn’t.

NOTE:  When writing this post, I did not realize who the rancher was Jose Santiago Sandoval, a friend and autodefensa also from Tepalcatepec.  The entire family was massacred including the 11 year old and two other children.  This is the family featured in the Washington Post article, they were killed days after. Below four of the family of five at home, below in death.
