mudgirl Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's quite the story. Tragic and bizarre. I imagine the families of the students are at least somewhat comforted that this has now come to light. Never illegally commandeer a bus in a country run by the cartels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Never illegally commandeer any bus, taxi, or private car and at the same time kidnap the driver. Such a major crime rarely results in anything good. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro malo Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 This seems to be a common practice among students here in Mexico. My wife was on a bus between Zihuatanejo and Acapulco when it was taken over by students. Passengers were put out along the side of the road to fend for themselves and to figure out how to make it to their destination. A stupid, selfish and inconsiderate practice and we all know that stupid gets you killed in Mexico. They sure did pay for it in Iguala. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 The rural school in the southern States are a plague. The teachers and students run wild for all kinds of reasons. Destroy property and riots because their friend get arrested. .., the students Who are god should be given good scholarships and those school should be closed down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Most of these students outgrow these tendencies. It’s sad to see the same actions being carried out NOB by more mature citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I am not from up north and do not live there so I cannot comment but what is happening with those students and teachers in southern Mexico is disgraceful in many ways .

Jreboll Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I was attending college in Southern California during the hippy era, the Watts riots, Vietnam war demonstrations, etc. and I sympathized with those involved. I started coming down to the Chapala area in the mid 1970s and met some young people who also expressed the same sentiments but for different reasons. To me young people’s problems here in Mexico are more complex and exasperating. It’s hard to pass judgement on those involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 it is easy to say when you are not affected by the mess not to pass judgement but after being dumped on the side of the road kms from any transportation sometimes in storms as the night comes you quickly learn how not to sympathize with the students and their teachers. You do not have these problems in Chapala . The 60 s are a long time ago..and left me with no sympathy for rioters. I was in my 3rd year at the Sorbonne in 68 so I remember May 68 and the warehouse where i worked in Los Angeles was burned down during the Rodney King riots so I have seen a few riots and I still do not sympathize with rioters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridget, every Mexican I know that has had their bus commandeered by student thugs, although not wishing death on them, feel they were looking for trouble and found it in Iguala.
