No letdown in Mexico protests

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 (Oaxaca):

Masked men shot a protester dead in the Mexican city of Oaxaca on Tuesday.

The incident escalated the wave of political violence and increasing pressure on President Vicente Fox to intervene.

A group of about 15 men in three cars, one with a logo of the city police department, drove up to a private radio station that has been occupied by protesters and sprayed gunfire at the building.

Protester Lorenzo Pablo, a 52-year-old architect, was hit several times and died in a hospital.

1. So now Fox & Calderon resort to murder. Viva Obrador!

2. The death squads have been let loose.

Of course our compromised media will describe the situation as 'escalating violence in election protests' obscuring or lying about the cause of the violence. The Mexican people need to be very strong and very disciplined here. We need to learn from them what to do when the asshats steal an election.
