Juarez Massacre: Death Count Now 16


This seems to happen every day in Juarez and other North Mexican towns.

"They were described as good kids, students and athletes. Some played American-style football -- not the typical targets in a drug war. The massacre of Juárez high school and college students on Saturday created a shock wave that continues to rumble across a city numbed by years of brutal and unstoppable violence...

...The dead ranged in age from 13 to 42 years old. At least 11 were teenagers. They were shot late Saturday night when gunmen sealed off a block and stormed into a birthday party in a working-class residential neighborhood in southeastern Juárez and began firing with large-caliber handguns and rifles...


...Mass shootings at drug rehabilitation centers, restaurants and nightclubs in the past were believed to be linked to warring drug traffickers and gangs. Saturday's massacre, however, was different."

Hey, let's open the border!
