                  A huge incident happened in Mexico, and tens of thousands of people have tooken their anger and questions to the streets of Mexico city. In the southern city Iguala, 43 students went missing, they’ve disappeared. Like the many confused people in Mexico, I agree with what they believe have happened to their children, that their deaths was an organized crime.
                  The students were last seen in September, detained by police. It is believed that the students were turned over to a local drug gang, after their remains were dicovered dumped along a river. This incident happened in September and just last week their remains were found. Mexican film director Guillermo de Toro and his partners issued a statement saying “we believe that the crimes are systemic and indicate a much greater evil, the blurred lines between organized crime and highranking officers in the Mexican government.” So these students’s death seem as if it were all planned out, and I strongly believe it was; by Mexican governments and Mexican gangs.
                  Such actions should not be permitted anywhere in the world. These are innocent people dying, there are never excuses when death is involved. The civilians in Mexico are scared, no one should ever live like this, in constant fear. Many of the protestors carried signs and echoed “Enough, I am tired of living in a narco state.” Mexican band members often refer to themselves as “narcos” and many of their fans support them which encourages them to make more songs about their lifestyle. Narcos are part of the Mexican Cartel, they’re the ones who sell and traffic drugs, and are known for their violence. They have no remorse towards people. I myself have seen videos of how cruel they are, such videos as people being tortured or decapitated because they defied their orders, or even because they were lied to. In conclusion, I see no reason the why the Mexican Cartel wouldn’t kill these innocent students, especially if they benefit out of it.       
So if these Mexican band members refer to themselves as Narcos, then why do fans keep supporting them? It 's a contradiction to the Mexicans who say that they're tired of living in a narco state, but then yet they still support it by listening to their music.
                  The students who were killed were in college and traveled nearby Iguala to protest about the lack of funding for their school. Officials say that when the mayor discovered the protesting of the students would disrupt one of his events he took matters in his own hands and abused his authority as mayor. He had police resolve the problem, and stop the protesting. After that, Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said "Police officers handed the victims to three men who belonged to the Guerreros Unidos gang." Authorities then arrested Iguala's Mayor Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda, who were found hiding out in Mexico city.
                  It is times like this that reveal to us how corrupt other country's officials are. No one deserves to die the way these students did, and no parent deserves to ever see their children die. Gangs and high authority such as the mayor or police should never be allies, that is a recipe for disaster. Such actions like this should never be repeated, and other countries and states should learn from mistakes like this. They will not get away with it especially in the time we live in now with all our crazy technology; actions like this will get punished, and justice will be served
