The City of Lost Women

Watching the videos on Juarez, Mexico was really disturbing. I had no idea that this was something that was happening in the World. The disturbing part isn't necessarily that people are dying, because people are murdered all the time as a result of gangs, abuse, homicide, etc. The part that is most disturbing is that these women are being killed by the same people, and it has been happening this way for more than 10 years. It is unfortunate that all of these people are living within a system where the wealthy are above the law, and they can not trust anyone, especially their government. Many of the people within the community feel that there will never be any resolution.

I can not believe that the law is not further investigating these murders, or as a result is allowing for themselves to be paid off by these murderers for fear of what might happen to them. It reminds me a lot of the drug trafficking that use to occur where the mafias controlled the cities. They had connections with those in high office positions, and those of law enforcement and as a result were never punished for murders or anything else that may have happened as a result of their drug trafficking.

What's even worse is that as the community begins to demand for justice, the law enforcement is falsely accusing people, and forcing them to admit to murdering these women through torture and threat. The entire community is living in fear, and you would think that the national law enforcement would try to solve this problem, but instead they are allowing for this power and wealth to control this community. It just makes people more aware that the wealthy are above the poor, and as this type of thing continues the gap will only continue to grow.
