U.S. victims in Mexico massacre were tied to family with a long history of violence latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Amid rising cartel tensions in northern Mexico, the Mormon community in La Mora decided to take precautions.

They traveled in caravans of several vehicles — thinking there was safety in numbers. They were wrong. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Relatives of nine American women and children murdered in Mexico say they don’t think the ambush was an accident.

“This was deliberate and intentional,” said Loretta Miller, whose four grandchildren and daughter-in-law were killed. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

After years of low wages and abuse, Hollywood assistants are in open revolt. Now, they're taking up the fight for better pay and treatment.

@StacyPerman explains why: latimes.com/entertainment-…
Los Angeles County provides no funding for jail chaplains, so their presence depends on volunteers and religious institutions that may offer support.

Some chaplains report a shortage of both from their religious communities. From @leilamillersays: latimes.com/california/sto…

I dug into the history of the LeBarons, the large Mormon clan of dual U.S.-Mexican citizens whose members were killed in Sonora. The extended family has a fascinating story and has unfortunately experienced violence before -- as victims and perpetrators latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The 3 women and 14 kids who were ambushed as they drove toward Arizona from the Sonora town of Bavispe included descendants of a fundamentalist Mormon community that has lived in Mexico for decades. A suspect has been arrested for the nine deaths latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Some victims had the last name LeBaron. Their final destination was Colonia LeBaron in Chihuahua - established by fundamentalist Mormons in 1944. The name LeBaron is best known for killings in the 70s/80s in Mexico and the U.S. by Ervil LeBaron - also known as “Mormon Manson”

28 Mexicans "died horrendously when gang members set a bar on fire after blocking its exits. The families complained that criminals are out of control and making life impossible in this southern Mexico oil town."
“Those who carry illegal weapons go free.”

Mexico had >3,000 murders in June. 17,065 #murders during the first six months of the year, though this is likely a 20% underestimate. Yet, since 1972, #Mexico has just 1 gun store in the country, and the most power rifles are 22 caliber.
Mexico has a murder rate that is six times our #murder rate. Only about 1% of Mexicans legally own a gun.
