| Mexican police shoot striking miners |
| 2006-05-01 |
| And this is the culture they want to bring here... The miners at the Sicartsa plant in Michoacan, Mexico owned by Grupo Villacero, have been on strike for close to 20 days now. They want, among other things, better safety conditions after the widely reported collapse of a mine in the north of Mexico on February 19. The accident was said to have been caused by poor safety conditions. This is a video of Mexican police shooting at striking miners in Michoacan, Mexico. The footage is from last Thursday, when the State Police and a Federal agency tried to throw the miners out of the plant they were occupying. In the video you can see the police shooting at the striking miners and an helicopter flying around the site also shooting at the people on the ground. The shooting was apparently done by the State police, but the federal agents did not intervene. Mexico's attorney general has declared that the federal government wil not investigate. Two young miners, ages 19 and 24 named Mario Alberto Castillo y Hector Alvarez were killed by shotgun wounds. Tell me again , La Raza, about how your Aztlan culture is superior? |

| #2 Just contrast shooting strikers with how well the US treated protests by illegal aliens. |

| #1 They may live to regret that. Miners as a rule know a great deal about the use of explosives. |
