They ask President Andrés Manuel López Obrador not to withdraw federal forces.

"We need your support," was the phrase stressed by residents of Ocotlán on a dozen banners that dawned hanging in that municipality in the Ciénega region.
"Peace and justice for all the people of Ocotlán. Sedena (Secretary of National Defense) and GN (National Guard). Don't leave, protect us".
The tarpaulins also ask the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, not to withdraw the federal forces.
"We ask for your help, the people of Ocotlán, begging you not to withdraw the Mexican Army. We need your support."
One of the tarpaulins was hung on Industrias Street, Nuevo Progreso neighborhood; 20 de Noviembre, El Nuevo Fuerte neighborhood; Avenida del Oso, in El Porvenir; others on Camino Real, San Vicente, and in the Center of Ocotlán.
In total there were 13 tarpaulins that the Armed Forces detected in different streets of the municipal capital.
These appeared after last Friday, for the second time in eight days, several demonstrations were held calling for the immediate departure of the National Guard, following the crash of a young man who was being chased by the elements and who crashed into a parked vehicle.
The first march was on January 12, at which time the complainants also took over the toll booth on the highway and left free passage, in addition to burning tires and blockades with vehicles blocked at the entrances and exits to the municipality.
So, let me get this straight. A cartel halcón who was being chased by the National Guard after they spotted him crashed into a parked car and died. As a result, a bunch of residents living in Ocotlan began burning cars and protesting against the National Guard demanding the troops be withdrawn. And now you have other residents living in Ocotlan asking the troops to stay and not be withdrawn. Mexico is fucking wild dude. You have some civilians siding with the cartels and others siding with the government. Crazy.

DeletePeople paid, or family of the cartel protested more than likely my freind.
Delete"Peaceful Looting"?
DeleteWTF is that?
Might want to check what the definition of looting is.
Perhaps you meant peaceful protest?

DeleteThe cartels sponsor these protests and many of these "protesters" are cartel members themselves. They also compel people to protest, sometimes under the threat of death.
12:58 you can try to hide all that you want. It'll do you no good in my presence clown.

DeleteActually, and with no disrespect to Char, it shouldn't be too difficult to mention in the article that Ocotlan is in Jalisco, so readers have a better understanding of what's going on..

DeleteOops, chalk it up to cognitive decline, I can never make it to the last word in the headline..
