Just another day in Juarez...
Only a stones throw away from my hometown a six year old girl is brutally killed.
Just the other day El Diario also gave up the fight posting headlines "What do you want from us?"
I have no confidence in the ability of Mexico to control its own people anymore. This is getting worse, the drug war has been lost for awhile now. I wasn't supportive of a militarized border before but I'm afraid that is our last resort to completely cut every smuggling route to halt the flow of drugs and make the lives of the cartels miserable. I'm in the military myself and would be more than happy to take part. I'm tired of the headlines only a few feet away from my hometown. It's just horrible.
Girl, 6, slain in Juárez

Saturday was another violent day in Juárez.
A 6-year-old girl was killed, and the body of a man was cut up in pieces and scattered over a street in southern Juárez.
The first attack was reported early Saturday when a group of gunmen entered a house at Rivera Chiviscar and Rivera Ojinaga streets and killed the child.
Chihuahua state police officials said the bodies of the girl, Aydi Armendariz, and Jesús María Pé rez, 28, were found on beds in two rooms.
Police think Aydi was asleep when she was shot several times in the face. During the attack, another man was wounded and he was later taken to a hospital.
At the scene, investigators found 30 bullet casings from an AK-47, a high-powered rifle.
About the same time but at another place, pieces of a body were found at Avenida de las Torres and Avenida Manuel J. Clouthier, in the Ampliación Aeropuerto neighborhood.
Chihuahua state investigators found a severed head, a torso, the arms and legs. Police said the body was of a man between 30 and 35 years old.
A short distance from that, a sign with a message related to the dismemberment was found hanging from a bridge.
Also Saturday, another man was killed in a mechanic shop in north Juárez.
The number of deaths related to the ongoing drug war in Juárez has risen to more than 2,200 in 2010.
