MEXICAN ARMY MAKES AMERICAN COPS LOOK LIKE CUB SCOUTS

Soldiers shot to death a wounded teenage girl before executing 21 other young gang members after all had surrendered

According to the Associated Press, the mother of Erika Gomez Gonzalez, 15, watched a confrontation between Mexican soldiers and a gang of young people in a warehouse outside the town of San Pedro Limon on June 30. Erika’s mother had gone to the warehouse to take the girl away from the drug gang she had recently joined.

According to the mother, there was a brief exchange of gunfire between the gang members and the soldiers during which one gang member was killed while her daughter and a young 'kid' were both wounded. The gang members, who were all teenagers or in their early 20s, then surrendered. Her daughter was sprawled face down on the ground. Soldiers rolled her over and shot her more than six times in the chest when they saw she was still alive and suffering only from a bullet wound to her leg. Then the soldiers stood up the wounded kid and shot him dead.

AP reporters said Erika’s mother told them that “the soldiers interrogated the rest of the gang members in front of the warehouse, and then took them inside one-by-one. From where she stood just outside the warehouse and in army custody, she heard gunshots and moans of the dying.”

The Mexican prosecutor’s office claims there was a fierce gun battle and "no evidence at all of possible executions." However, reporters questioned that version because only one soldier was wounded and an inspection of the warehouse seemed to bear evidence of executions.

Several days after the killings, AP reporters inspected the warehouse. They saw no evidence that a fierce gun battle had taken place there. But “at least five spots along the warehouse's inside walls showed the same pattern: One or two closely placed bullet pocks, surrounded by a mass of spattered blood, giving the appearance that some of those killed had been standing against the wall and shot at about chest level.”

It appears that only Erika’s mother and relatives of the other victims got their bowels in an uproar. Compare that to the Ferguson, Missouri police killing of Michael Brown and the police chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York. Compared to the Mexican army, those deaths make American cops look like Cub Scouts.
