Mexican crime who's fault again?

Seems the cavalry turned out to be the vandals:

the soldiers themselves turned violent, townspeople say, ransacking homes and even torturing people.

Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says it has documented more than 600 cases of abuse

"These guys don't care about anything," said Lalo Lucero, 44, as he watched soldiers in the city detain a neighborhood youth recently. "They came into my house without a warrant, searched through everything and told me to sit on a couch and not say anything."


But all their problems would be solved if we just stopped selling handguns.

"More than 1,000 people marched through the streets carrying signs begging President Felipe Calderon for protection from his own troops."

Don't worry, they have signs. They'll be fine.

"If the criminal is guilty, you have to use a strong hand. Huitzil said. "You can't coddle them."

Due process? We don't need no stinkin' due process.
