Fed up with plague of kidnappings near the border, Mexicans turn to mob justice

Christian Science Monitor: “A mob in the Mexican border state of Chihuahua killed two suspected kidnappers in the country’s latest bout of vigilante justice. Townspeople in Ascencion, about 100 miles from troubled Ciudad Juarez, blocked federal police Tuesday from rescuing two men accused of kidnapping who were being beaten by the crowd. The mob shouted and held up signs calling for an end to the kidnappings that have plagued the area.”
