Mexicans stage massive anti-crime march - Hundreds of thousands

[dArKeR]

Mexico City — Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans wearing white staged a silent march through the heart of their country's capital Sunday to protest kidnappings, violent crimes and the failures of law enforcement to curb them.


The march was the largest here in recent history, completely filling Mexico City's central plaza and packing surrounding streets.


As protesters crossed the city, they did not chant or cheer but instead shared stories of how many people had been victims of violent crime. Marchers wore black ribbons in memory of victims killed during kidnappings and robberies, with some wearing T-shirts or carrying signs with images of the dead.

All DUers know how the Media Whores ALWAYS LIE about the crowd numbers. We're used to multiplying by 50%, 100%, 200%. Maggot Media Whores!

At least a quarter of a million Mexicans marched through the capital and other cities on Sunday to protest authorities' failure to control lawlessness in one of the world's most crime-ridden nations.

In the biggest demonstration in Mexico in more than 10 years, protesters dressed in white filled Mexico City's main Zocalo Square, which holds more than 100,000 people, and packed surrounding avenues.

Many carried banners urging the death penalty for kidnappers, rapists and murderers.

Even crime-hardened Mexicans have been shocked by a recent wave of kidnappings. In one case last month, two brothers were abducted, shot dead and their bodies dumped in a garbage bin even though their parents had paid a US$600,000 ransom.

5. That's a beautiful sight, dArKeR!

It's as if the people of the world have a life of their own, while the leaders go on with very little notice of them. These marches get down-played, ridiculed, scorned, derided, and they continue their business as usual.

It's good to remember, however, they have a cumulative effect, if you consider the Viet Nam war would have lasted far longer without protest.



Fox could be a little more choosey about his friends.
