If I were the law officials in this case, I would investigate the victim they killed, look into their background, talk to their family, and FIGURE out if there is any bit of truth that the person who got killed was a "witch."..or look into the likelihood of this even happening.  This is ridiculous.

I sound stupid when saying this, but it would be like someone trying to kill me because I was apparently a vegetarian who 'claimed' membership to the ALF (which is not true [well, except the vegetarian part], but anyway).  So, I would make sure -all- facts in this case are as straight as an arrow. 


On the other hand, it will be interesting to see what the court decides, and if they will even have details on the case and the arguments of both sides.

Not to mention 80 percent of the cops there are corrupt or on the take.  I'm more apt to believe that the poor fellow was killed because he wouldn't pay his safety fee.

People fear what they do not understand.  It's been like that since the dawn of man.  What is unfortunate, is that in today's day and age, people cannot get their tiny narrow minded brains out of neutral and educated themselves to other cultures, religions, new possibilities and ideals. 

It's not always Mexico. This is what the second news article on Mexico? Most of it has been Africa or what is considered third world countries and a lot of the killings have taken place in villages or small towns.
I posted about Mexico because it's very close to 'home' and there's this fear, that should have died out years and years ago. Many believe we will never see this type of fear here in the States or Canada, I believe we will and we all need to be prepared. There's fanatical people all over the world. And fear and ignorance breeds problems like this.

When you think about it from a psychological perspective, what happens when we get scared?  Our body turns to the fight or flight response.  Due to the fact that as humans, especially the male gender, we don't want to admit that something scares us the default is fight.  In addition it has been proven that anger is a predominant emotion in over 60 percent of males especially those that have had any form of traumatic stress.  Anger then becomes instantanious, blocking out all other emotions or feelings leading to the anger or any rational thinking.  No I'm not condoning anything here and stuff like this peeves me off as much as the next.
