Mexicans March in Support of 'Craziest' Kingpin - NYTimes.com: "A peace march called by local authorities in western Mexico turned into a show of support for a slain drug lord Sunday, with adults and children carrying signs lauding the capo known for handing out Bibles to the poor.
Hundreds of people turned out for the march in Apatzingan, the birth place of La Familia cartel leader Nazario Moreno, who was known as 'The Craziest One' and reputedly indoctrinated his gang members in pseudo-Christian ideology." Dec. 12, 2010, AP

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
