P-D :
Police are suspended following stampede
Mexico City’s mayor expressed outrage Saturday that youths as young as 13 were among the dozen people killed in a nightclub stampede and said the officials involved in the police raid that sparked the crush had been suspended.
Police went to check reports of underage drinking and drugs in the News Divine club in a working-class Mexico City neighborhood Friday evening, causing hundreds of customers to try to flee the club.
There were rumors of underage drinking, so the cops had to provoke a situation where three young people had to die. I didn’t know that the penalty for underage drinking in Mexico was death. Yet, when we try to execute a Mexican national who is convicted of Murder 1st, the Mexican government screams to High Heaven.
There is an immigration lesson here. This will become more common in America as America becomes more like Mexico. “Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.” — Vincente Fox
