One would think that people is smarter.

Seriously, intolerant much? One of the news that has kicked harder lately here in Mexico is what happened in Queretaro (a city in the center of the nation). Basically, 200 people got gathered to attack like 4 or 5 emos, who were all minors, 14-15 years old. They all ended severelly hurt and on the hospital.

A silent march was organized, all dressed in white, to protest pacifically against this, and what happens? police has to get in there cuz people with the same ideals of the ones who attacked, went there to get whoever supported the cause, for apparently supportin emos.

The people who attacked werent just stupid kids, but also grown ups, who sould give the example, right? They were all kind of people in there, all labeled as 'punks', 'darks', 'hippies', and a lot more. Why the need to attack those who are different? A lot is talked about racism and intolerance, and people inmediatelly think on stuff like KKK and all against color, jews or poor people, but what about this? it happens right where we live, for somethin as stupid as the way people look!
One would think people are smarter as to think for themselves instead of followin the ideas of a few many to cause damage on others for reasons as stupid as these are...

But saddly, there are groups in other cities that decided to do the same, all anti-emos. Instead of attackin to 'clean the city and Mexico' (neo-nazi much?), they should clean themselves, for god's sake! what future can this country expect to have, if somethin like this is happenin just around the corner?? as if drugs, crime, violence and corruption werent enough...

So what, they attacked the emos now, who's gonna be next? 'darks', 'punks', 'preps'? and where will that lead us? to more violence, to turn Mexico into a place where people will be scared to show themselves for what they like in fear of gettin attacked?

Dont missunderstand me, I love Mexico, is the place where I was born, its a beautiful and diverse country and I'm privileged enough as to live in a 'calmed' city, but still, there's no way to ignore this kinda things happening, that are coming to surface and kickin us all in the face. Hello! this is a freakin sign for help that this place needs!

*sigh*
I needed to take that off my chest...
