Mexico’s wave of vigilante killings

Mexico's 'avengers' backed by public sick of crime and lack of punishment

Guardian.com: 

It was still dark when four men boarded the packed commuter bus heading for Mexico City and ordered the passengers to hand over their valuables.

They gathered up mobile phones and wallets, but as they prepared to leave near the town of Toluca, one passenger stood up, drew a pistol and shot the four assailants, killing their leader instantly.

The three injured robbers stumbled off the bus, but the gunman followed them out and shot them dead at the roadside. Then he returned to the bus, handed back the passengers’ belongings and disappeared into the darkness.

Police in Mexico state, which wraps round the country’s capital like a horseshoe, have deployed hundreds of officers in search of the so-called justiciero – or avenger.

But many Mexicans – fed up with crime, corruption and impunity – took to social media to praise the unidentified killer. None of the bus passengers have offered information to police, saying it was too dark to see him clearly.

  1. Right on. Hope he shows up in Seattle tonight with plenty of Ammo. On a serious note sounds like a guy with some training hunting ass holes. Problem is Mexico is, well Mexico and the cops are just as bad as the crooks.

  2. There are whole towns in Mexico that are standing up to the cartels. There’s a pretty good video on utube about it. If my memory was working I’d tell you the name of it.

  3. Sounds like Senior Justice has learned The Four Esses:
    Suppress(or)
    Shoot
    Shovel
    Silence

    He could only put into practice two of the four, but it was enough. Viva la Justice!

  4. Nice story but if they want to improve life in Mexico start by shooting they’re crooked leaders { the ones constantly lecturing the USA] and put more of our ideas to work there. Its a beautiful country rich in natural resources and its only corruption that keeps it from providing a decent life for its people. If they would do that they could stay home.
