Much blood not only the street but in the words.
That hurt me more because they are in the discourse of ordinary people, your neighbor's office, your ex-partner school, your friend from college.
When all this war began, it hurt me to hear people saying it did not matter, because they were killing each other. As if those lives were not worth anything and as if they were to solve the problem.
I had to argue about it with friends. Someone said "has already been lost the value of human life "and the same person then said" when you kill someone and do not deserve to live or a fair trial. "And I thought we are really bad if those who considered ourselves" studied "with some training in ethics, we easily disqualify the degree of stripping someone of his attributes as a person.
Other comments, quite apart from these, I heard them in my work, which spoke of a company where a worker had been incapacitated by an accident and what someone said was "Pss ... in these cases is better than the worker dies, it is cheaper for the company. "And he was serious.
The last time I went to Juarez, heard from a group of traders who were preferred to leave the military and the feds because the feds just they rob and extort money and can not do anything to change the military, five hundred dollars they get rid of you who are causing problems: corner drug addict who assaults your customers, or the youth of the colony have you gone to steal.
few months ago in a house that injured two assailants put a firearm to an adult, the owner of the house. His wife, a great lady also came out with a gun and fired at the assailants, killing one. Many people
women rose to the level of heroin and celebrated the fact, as collective revenge, with the body of the assailant as a trophy. As if this woman was easily overcome by a death have not been in self defense, will weigh less in consciousness.
There are other conversations that I have to listen and discuss, where there may be no blood, but there is a tremendous amount of hate disguised as a mere rejection: indigenous people, homosexuals, women ...
is true that never wanted this war, but we already had the right conditions to allow perpetuation.

last week drove home from work at a stoplight when I saw get off my hand, different cars, many armed persons. They went to a truck that was next to me high and then fell to a man. The light turned green. People kept pulling out weapons and I advanced. I made some calls and I recovered just waited there was any news. There was nothing. Finally I did not know what happened.
few hours ago my mom told me they were going to the mall to pick a cabinet that my brother needs. That would be expected. Then he spoke to them and told them they were not, that someone had erected in the parking lot and shot someone else, he was fine but they were taken to an area of \u200b\u200ban outlet store emergency.
Witnessing these scenes are increasingly common.
But those are the stories that scare me.
ones that terrify me are staged by the authorities, which are mixed up. The masked police stealing a store and then returned to his patrol to see if victims want to raise a complaint, those of the chief ministers who send their people the right to the murder, the rumors of a exprocuradora involved with drug trafficking, the lawyers and activists killed by people protected by the government. Meanwhile
landfill is to thank the public and many samples (very organized and not from the neighborhood councils simpler and more structured at the level of social organizations) that are flowers in this pestilence, people with little experience in this area are engaging and pulling more people into that commitment.
I see that people are being forged.
can be difficult to see, because they are given the space they are given a bloody notes in newspapers and other media such citizens are treated as criminals, but if you look, if you hear and read, we can distinguish.
are small groups each doing their struggle. People who advocates the recovery of public spaces, social tissue regeneration through art, on the impact of laws on human rights. Towards
something had to push this war.
We are learning very slowly. Link up with other organizations is perhaps the most difficult, but we must draw on the experiences of those that have been made to furnish our part. There are so many gears
damaged our social machinery to work in any of them can make an improvement.
I invite you to page one Chihuahua
without fear, a people who love me and make their fight on a bicycle. Or part of it, also because they are engaged and committed to other causes and other fights (leaving aside his work and occupations daily). Also
Words Arena, a group of Juarez makes an interesting work bringing the literature where it is needed. Another reference group
here.
And they are no more groups to which they can support, many with great experience and others just debuting and training.
Eventually the deeper struggle is not against the "bad" must be against our apathy and ignorance, despair and cynicism, the enemies of truth.
(I wish I would have to be.
wish we did not need all this.)
