"We are not sheep to be killed whenever they feel like it"

This is about the best summary of the tragic events in Ayotzinapa that I have seen.  It is by Alma Guillermoprieto at the NY Review of Books and clearly spells out much of what transpired leading up to today's arrests.  It is a long and graphic read, but  at the same time, succinct.  Please take the time to read it.  It is very important to get the facts out as Mexico tries to deal with a horrible situation, a national crisis.

Emiliano Navarrete, a slight man in a baseball cap who looked to be in his mid-thirties, was the last relative to speak.

“I am the father of a boy who, for me, is not disappeared,” he began. “For me, he was kidnapped by men in uniform who are municipal police of Iguala, Guerrero.” His face was stretched taut against his skull from tension and the stress of speaking in public, and his stumbling Spanish revealed his Indian origins. “Why does this government act like this?” he went on, searching for words. “We are not sheep to be killed whenever they feel like it.”
