#1 "It makes me annoyed that I can't do anything," said Maylet Pacheco, a 26-year-old teacher. "We asked for a solution and this is what they offer us," she said, pointing down the street at advancing riot police.

That's cause the 40 or so ruling families of Mexico are annoyed you didn't take their hint and 'tour' San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or other ~~Gringo~~ Mexican tourist towns and stay.

#2 You knew this crackdown was coming. What is behind their protest ? I know they're identified as leftists. They probably are commies, but the disinformation put out by Mex gov't is as helpful as a bag of warm shit.

#3 This is Chiapas, home to Subcommandante Marcos, a hard left revolutionary.

Who IIRC let it be known last year that he has embraced Islam.

His group swung into action about 6 months ago again with the strikes in the runup to the Mexican election. When the left wing candidate lost by a small margin, the teachers wanted to go back to work. Many were threatened with violence if they did.

Marco's "Zapatistas" imported some foreign help including the American anarchist who was killed over the weekend.

He thinks that'll finally get someone to pay for his submarine for him?
