If you kick a man enough times, sometimes you draw back a stump. And the Mexican drug cartels have been doing a lot of kicking. In rural areas of Mexico, far away from the spotlight of international media and high-profile arrests, the problem of violent drug thugs is being dealt with in an unconventional manner. In the southwestern state of Guererro, citizens are taking to the streets, masked and armed. They are determined to do what the local and national governments have been unable to do: protect innocent civilians.
Since 2006, there have been nearly 70,000 people killed nationwide and residents in the municipalities of Ayutia de los Libres and Teconoapa have had enough. For the past couple of weeks, 800 locals have volunteered to serve as a makeshift militia, setting up checkpoints, enforcing curfews, and arresting alleged criminals.

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
