The Mexican daily La Polaka has dubbed this event the start of the next Mexican Revolution

Two alleged kidnappers were killed by an angry mob in Ascension, Chihuahua, according to Mexican news reports.

A mob gathered on news a gang of six suspects kidnapped the unidentified teenaged niece of a local politician, and then went to release the victim. Mexican Federal agents and a detachment of the Mexican Army in the meantime had captured the six suspects and released the girl.

The mob fell upon three of the arrested men, taking them from police custody, strangling and beating them. Three remaining members of the gang were whisked away to Juarez before the crowd could get to them.
Pity ...
The town of Ascension is the seat of Ascension municipality(county) and is roughly 150 kilometers southwest of Juarez.
This reads like a Aswat al-Iraq story, right down to telling us how far the town is from Baghdad Juarez.
