But we are suppose to be the horrible ones.

So meanwhile while our image is being dragged through the mud by the people like Bobby Whittenberg while these are issues like this one going on in Mexico.

Soldiers are hunting a 12-year-old suspected drug gang hitman accused of helping wage a gruesome turf war in central Mexico, a state prosecutor and Mexican media said on Friday.

Yea, so in regards to us being accused of using our youth to comment horrible acts in war and that is the “obvious” reason that the world hates it. But in the mean time we have a 12 year old kid killing people for hire.

The boy, known only as “El Ponchis,” is believed to be working for the South Pacific cartel in Morelos state just outside Mexico City and is one of a group of youths who have already committed “terrible acts,” Morelos State Prosecutor Pedro Luis Benitez told local radio.

“These minors are still not fully developed and so it is easy to influence them, to give them a gun, pretending it is plastic, that it is a game,” Benitez said.

Benitez did not name the boy or give more details but when asked directly about the teenage hitmen he said: “They’re persuaded to carry out terrible acts; they don’t realize what they are doing,” he added.

Oh and never mind about doing wonders for the area.

More than 31,000 people have been killed since Calderon launched his cartel crackdown four years ago, alarming many Mexicans and some foreign investors who are freezing investment in the country just as it is recovering from recession.

So I imagine that good old Bobby and friends will be on this to giving full coverage, right?

Also here is a link that is in Spanish if anyone can read it.
