Whack-a-mole drug war: Vigilantism on Rise in Mexico as Drug War Rages

Vigilantism on Rise in Mexico as Drug War Rages: "One small town in Michoacan has come to the world's attention. The mostly indigenous residents of Cheran rose up and barricaded their town to protest against the government's failure to protect them from criminal groups. As InSight reported, the unrest began after illegal woodcutters, allegedly under the protection of the Familia Michoacana, cut and burned forests on community land. Now the town is on lockdown, and an armed militia patrols the streets daily."
