Who Guards the Guards: Mexican Prison Guards Released Prisoners, Lent Them Guns

We hear time and time from the American mainstream media how American firearms supposedly are fueling the war between the Mexican drug cartels. What isn’t reported nearly as much is the corruption south of the border. We know it is bad, but it seldom gets much pick up. Case in point, the Associated Press filed an interesting story this weekend, which received little pick up in the MSM. The facts are actually shocking:

“Mexican prosecutors say guards at a prison let inmates out and lent them guns to massacre 17 people at a party, then allowed them to return to their cells.”

Do you think this story will get much play? Probably not, because again reporting on corruption in Mexico just isn’t done that much. Maybe the American media doesn’t want to rock the boat. Imagine if American guns were supplied to those criminals? Now that would probably make the news.
