    The police and prison officials were most often mentioned as drowning in deceit and hidden motives. Mario Escobedo, Jr. is one of the best examples of how far the state police would go. Escobedo was a defense attorney for bus driver Gustavo González Meza, one of the bus drivers arrested and charged with crimes related to eight women found killed in a cotton field after being kidnapped and raped. Meza had been arrested along with another bus driver, Javier “Víctor” García Uribe, and police stated that both had confessed to the crimes.

After receiving anonymous threats over the phone, Escobedo was shot and killed while driving home from work.

Who killed him and what was the motive? The killer will remain the same; a member of a drug-cartel. However, the motive depends on the person you ask. The American citizens who have not been exposed to the topic of cartel-related violence will immediately respond that Mexicans are innately violent so killings such as this are expected from them. While the current social narrative is that Latinos are inherently violent, adopting a new economic perspective to this that accepts that violence is only a byproduct of capitalism will lead us to solve the…

When it was our turn, we could go anywhere we could get the machine. The rental guy was nice enough to loan us his personal iPod, as the machine had a stereo. The iPod was filled with Mexican music of all sorts. How fitting, we realized. What would a Mexican adventure be without the music?…
