Death squads III
At least 36 youths and young adults (between the ages of 14 and 24), mostly with no criminal record, were murdered in Culiacán over the last five months — allegedly in ¨revenge” for crimes like auto theft or assault. As in Quintana Roo and Juarez, where petty criminals have also been turning up dead recently — I don’t think it’s paranoia to note that these kinds of “revenge killings” are going on in places where the Army has been put into the position of overseeing local security. I am not ready to suggest that the Army is running death squads, but I am going to suggest that with focus solely on one crime (drug trafficking) to the detriment of improving security and justice in any wholesale fashion, somebody (or a lot of sombodys) are taking advantage of the situation to extract revenge.
