#1 However, just do it to hundreds of females in Juarez and the authorities really didn't, still don't care. Guess it wasn't a direct threat to the authorities incomes or lives.

#2 Women are murdered in Juarez because they are part of organized crime, they know or are related to someone in organized crime, or they are victims of organized crime. There's no middle ground here.

And while it is certainly bad women are getting killed, men are killed by a number several factors higher than women.

I think it is bad politics and worse policy when a factor in pointing out just how bad things are in Juarez, you have to point out women are being killed.

It is subtly bad idea that women somehow have greater value than men when the fact is that organized crime shooters who target their victims often go out of their way to avoid shooting those who are not related to the reasons the target is selected, men, women or children. Ipso facto, they will concentrate their weapons fire on those who are, men, women or children.

The problem in Juarez, as elsewhere, isn't women are getting killed; it is the pervasiveness of organized crime in Mexican national life, and that can get everyone killed.

#3 Tough. The same problem happened on a smaller scale in Albuquerque. Google Albuquerque serial killer. Killed the same profile of victim. The police didn't care and couldn't be bothered to put two and two together. It's not me elevating a definable groups status, it's the authorities who downgrade 'human beings' as unworthy of attention.

#4 The issue of murdered women in Juarez is not directly related to the Cartel's. Women were being killed there at a horrendous rate for the last 20 years. Check P2k's link.
