Morelia, Mexico Suffers Crime- Iris Hughey


Amid all the chaos with the drug war, Mexico still suffers through common crimes. On a nice, cool evening in September, three armed men burst into a Coca-Cola distribution center on the edge of town and stole thousands of pesos in cash and fled into a neighborhood. State police arrived to find what they believe to be the getaway car being engulfed in flames. “You can’t even go out at night here,” homemaker Yolanda Villa said, poking her head out the door of her home around the corner. “They beat you, kidnap you, rob you,” her 9-year-old son Luis said, finishing her sentence. I think it’s so sad that some people, rather than helping their neighbors through all of this, are just stealing from them.
