SUMMARY:
After a group of 43 students allegedly being kidnapped and murdered, a group of protesters have been trying to get the attention of the National Palace, a place used mainly for important ceremonies in Mexico City. This group has tried breaking in and setting the doors on fire using a metal police barricade. These students went missing in September. The group failed to get into the Palace, but did damage the entrance door of the Palace. The group wants justice. Another group has been standing in front of the attorney general’s office protesting their thoughts as well. Hundreds of people have acted out by graffiting and throwing rocks at government offices. Not only that, but lighting cars on fire using firebombs that they throw into the cars and trucks on the streets of Mexico City. Police authorities have a taped confession of gang members admitting to killing students in a landfill in the city Cocula and taking 14 hours to burn them showing no signs of death at all. Parents will not accept the fact that their kids are dead until it is 100% confirmed with DNA tests.
ANALYSIS:
I believe that the protestors have a right to be upset with this whole situation. Although I think that they are going to a high extent by destroying property and trying to break into government building, I think someone does need to take a stand for this awful situation that is occurring. This is not only one student, it is 43 students that have been missing since September with parents who do not know whether their child is dead or not. I think this event is devastating and something does need to be done immediately to fix this problem occurring.

I think the protesters could go about it in a different way. They definitely have the right to be angry because 43 students have been missing for so long and their parents have no answers, they are just living in worry. But, even though this whole situation is terrible, they took it to another level by throwing firebombs into the streets and in cars.
