Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The level of corruption in police, prosecutors and politics is off the charts in Mexico. It's painful to watch and there's no easy way out.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Local media reported Enríquez was shot to death after leaving a restaurant, and that the attacker fled on a motorcycle.

Enríquez also posted videos of crimes such as robberies and muggings, and appealed to the public for help in identifying the thieves.

He rose to national attention after he posted a compelling, tragic security camera video of the stabbing death of a woman in León in August.

In perhaps the most famous case involving those who documented drug cartel violence, blogger María Elizabeth Macías was murdered in 2011 in the northern border state of Tamaulipas.

Her body was found along with a note purportedly signed by the Zetas cartel: “Here I am because of my reports.” A computer keyboard and headphones lay next to her severed head.

According to a 2022 report by the nongovernmental group Global Witness, Mexico was the deadliest place in the world for environmental and land defense activists in 2021, with 54 killed that year.
