This story of horrific violence followed by a fumbled approach by federal and local authorities as they tried to engage civil society, who has been very well engaged by a criminal organization, is a perfect metaphor for what's happening in Mexico today, where we see that our current understanding of drug violence and what leads to it is probably at the very least incomplete.
Esta historia de terrible violencia seguida por un enfoque fallido de las autoridades federales y locales que intentaron comprometerse con la sociedad civil, que ha estado muy involucrada con una organización criminal, es una metáfora perfecta de lo que está pasando en México hoy en día, donde vemos que nuestra comprensión actual de la violencia del narcotráfico y lo que conduce a ella probablemente esté incompleta.
