they've got long running beef since '09 or so. These are long established communities, not like brand new ex-pats. Looks like they kept their activism going after their last brush w/the cartels back then. It's fucked, 'cuz these people are more Mexican than American really, and were just trying to make their home better for themselves and others.
I know the backstory, but Chihuahua is the Wild West with machine guns and barrels of sulfuric acid. Nuts to be there. I stayed at the Ixtapa Westin when I was with State and three of us (all dudes) left the hotel in a Jeep and 20 minutes outside of town we were followed. We had to push that Jeep past 100mph on dirt roads to make it back.
One too many Ms in Mormon.
