If I read it correctly, two autodefensas we're shooting at each other? They should be protecting themselves against cartels.

DeleteWent to Xaltianguis and attacked local UPOEG, left three people dead, one attacker and one defending party is not ""both attacking each other
Ever since they killed El Botas Blanca's Guerrero has been War Zone. Especially La Sierra
ReplyDeletePretty sure rock throwing was the culprit. And not firearms as stipulated for these deaths.
ReplyDeleteCrazy townspeople!
Along with Tiki torches
DeleteShit was going to happen since the state of Guerrero organized 'Their Own AutoDefensas', right after the pirric victories of Michoacan AutoDefensas openly infiltrated by mexican army and marinas and judiciales supervising the "popular overthrow" of the Templarios led to the certification of Michoacan Polesia Rural, composed of repentant CT, LFM, zetas, politicos, viagras, H3, abuelos, smurfs, and other scum.
ReplyDelete--In this case in Guerrero, the state owned and controlled "frente unido de la polesia comunitaria" went and attacked the autonomous free UPOEG, but apparently took away their 7 dead comadres, they are all PRD like 43 Ayotzinapo killer angel Aguirre Rivera, and his madrotas the PRI clan of Ruben Figueroa alcocer the mass murderer that had to resign over "Aguas Blancas: un genocidio que aun espera justicia en Mexico"
These murdering motherfackers just don't ever get it, see Figueroa alcocer telling YouTube "ayotzinapa gets fixed with paying the parents"
very edificant.
An "auto defense" group that travels to another town and attacks their "auto defense" group. Excuse me but this sounds more like one regional civil cartel enforcement attacking another town for real or imagined infracciones. The original knights templar had self governing defense groups but threatened them with violence here in tierra caliente if one group attacked another. As far as I know los Caballeros Templarios actually tamed some the rurales until they disbanded and reformed into something worse. Now it's all about drugs and regional fiefdoms.
ReplyDeleteMore like tribal clan wars.
DeleteTry dat! Sooner or later Mexico will run out of people with all killings.
Delete9:20 the michoacan autodefensas won the war against the templario kabelleras cagadas, then the federal government took over and created the fuerzas rurales.
Delete--carefully chosing the most select member candidates for fuerza rurales was a job EPN envoy alfredo castillo left to his cuban santera sexotherapist, they promptly kicked AD out and sent dr Mireles to prison.
