Guerrero de luto

Guerrero is in a state of mourning. Not a person in the state isn't outraged by this cold-blooded massacre of students from some of the poorest families. I'm not even outraged that some of the students firebombed the Governor's offices as I normally would be. The last thing we need right now are self-serving politicians saying anything to try to save their skins. The responsible parties need to do the right thing and simply resign.

Guerrero has been under the rule of narco-gangs for way too many years thanks to corrupt officials and inept police forces who have never taken their jobs seriously. The governors and mayors and other "public servants" only simulate their jobs and enrich themselves and serve themselves a heaping helpful of our public funds while being accomplices to the organized criminals against whom they have done nothing. Guerrero is currently the worst state in the nation in this respect. Such a dichotomy! Some of the humblest, warmest friendliest people in the world in such a beautiful setting under the yoke of some of the most unscrupulous, corrupt and morally bereft political leaders and their henchmen this side of the Atlantic.

And we put tourist resorts in it and expect people to come while we smile politely.

I believe most of us in Guerrero are going to be calling for the resignation of the governor whose blatant dereliction of duty has allowed the state to slip into its darkest moment. I also believe most of us expect and hope that the federal government will now finally step in and assume control of public security similar (but hopefully better) to what they did in our neighboring state of Michoacán and impose law and order in our state!
