A group calling itself the Juárez Citizens Command is threatening to strike back against lawlessness that has gripped the city for more than a year by killing one criminal a day until order is restored.
The announcement by the shadowy organization is the first known act of organized vigilantism in Juárez.
The city's police and the Mexican army have been unable to stop a plague of killings, extortion, carjackings and other crime. Last year, more than 1,600 people were slain in Juárez.
"Better the death of a bad person, than that bad person continue contaminating our region," the group, named Comando Ciudadano por Juárez, or CCJ in Spanish, stated in a news release spread Thursday on the Internet.
The legitimacy of the previously unknown organization remains in question. In recent years, rival Mexican drug traffickers, activists and others have used the Internet to spread information, propaganda and threats.
The CCJ stated that it is not linked to any political party and that it is paid for by business owners fed up with crime. The group said it would issue a manifesto in the coming days urging people to join its "post-revolutionary movement" and would set up a system to receive information about criminals.
"Our mission is to finish each 24 hours with the life of a criminal," the CCJ stated. "... The hour has come to stop this disorder in Juárez."
Juárez city government spokesman Jaime Torres said authorities were aware of the news release and were taking seriously.
Anyone have any thoughts on this

Link?

Interesting, yes provide the link please Kiza

Yes its all in the link below anyways search Juarez vigilantes or CCJ but I've found a numerous amount of other criminal killing groups as well, its all an interesting read.

I, for one, applaud these people.

>>1 nobody cares.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.

I applaud them as well and hope they gain many trust worthy members.

>>5 This.

The people of Mexico need to raise up.

Bump for the discussion of a Mexican revolution and how we can help instigate one.

Lesgo dollars.

I applaud as well.

Good for them. Even though I believe people should get fair trials, Mexico didn't function that way to begin with. I have no problem with vigilantes striking out against confirmed criminals who haven't paid their dues.

bump

I applaud this movement, with the corruption there is no way those criminals are going to stay long in jail, if the go to jail. If the system is corrupt, then take action, go against the system!!! way to go
Revolutionary music to go :)

Considering how horrible the justice system is in Mexico, I support this.

Death Note.

Though I don't really agree with killing them, I can see why it's necessary. Something needed to be done and thy did it, as far as I'm concerned.

Bump to cover

Is this still going on, taking into consideration that last mention of this group was in 2009? Doing some research I can't say that I see anything that has been within the last few years or so, so it's not terribly recent. But this is probably me just being nitpicky.

I think that this group is reminiscent of the minutemen that the U.S. used to have, which is interesting considering Mexico's political state. Does anyone think that this would cause any possible unrest if this group is still active?

>>20 That's actually really vital information we probably should have already known. 4 years is a fucking long time.

>>16 Before even seeing your post I thought that while reading the previous post. It makes me think that what he did & what this group is doing is/was true justice.

are thay doing a good thing or a bad thing by killing criminals? and how do thay know who to kill? hell for all we know thay could be killing innocent people along with the criminals. killing is wrong anyway we don't get to decide
Who will live and who will die. thats God's job.

>>23 No, its not gods job. If you live somewhere that is home to corruption you have 2 choices: End it or live w/ it. Some people choose to end it... permanently. I for one support this group. Let me put it to you this way: If god decides everything... why did he choose to allow this evil to continue? I believe in god too, but I believe action comes before faith.

>>24 If god decides everything why did he choose to allow this evil to continue. good question why is that? well God dousen't always allow bad thing to happen. we live in an imperfect world that is controlled by Satan. Satan makes bad things happen and god allows it. however God can interfere in what happens in small ways that becomes blessings in a big way.

>>25 "Satan makes bad things happen and god ALLOWS it." This is why people choose to take action. Obviously people were sick of waiting for those "small ways that become blessings in a big way" & decided to free there homes from tyranny.

if people were sick of waiting then that can only mean that thay don't have faith in god or thay don't trust god. tyranny huh tyranny is cruelty and injustice in the exercise of power or authority over others. sounds like Satan to me. anyway how do you free your home of tyranny when tyranny is everywhere?

>>27 I'm glad you asked, you free yourself from tranny by fighting it... and killing it if need be. By raising arms against those that would kill for profit & drugs amongst other things, you rid the world of those that would commit & spread evil.

>>28 I see but no matter how much you fight tranny it will never stop. you think it's bad now trust me it's going to get a lot worse. “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all” (:26-27). the lord Jesus indicates that the world which exists before His return will be given over to pleasure-seeking, immorality, perversion, idleness, and a rejection of the things of God. All godly standards that made many nations great will be forgotten in favour of licentiousness, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17). that's how bad it's going to get so trying to fight tyranny is next to impossible.

>>28 You are arguing with BFN. Stop replying plox.

>>31 BFN is part of the news media not me! im a news reporter for BFN. im not going to keep fucking telling you that.

>>32 Fine then.

>>28 You are arguing with ID:G+TjiCzr, who is a known source of stupidity on this site. Please cease replying unless you wish to be drawn into a pointless argument with someone who is just copying and pasting rants they found through Google in response.

>>31 >>33 K, I'll stop, I didn't know it was BFN.

>>33 "You are arguing with ID:G+TjiCzr, who is a known source of stupidity on this site" XD what stupidity! what am I saying that's so wrong! you tell me, come on tell me what im saying that sounds stupid to you I would love to hear it.

>>33 don't have nothing to say huh good, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up! nobody was talking to your bitch ass in the first place! how the hell you gonna tell somebody oh don't talk to her because she's stupid. if im so stupid then why don't you prove that what im saying is wrong! PROVE IT BITCH! you can't can you, that's what I thought bitch!

>>34 don't listen to BarabiSama he has a reprobate mind meaning his mind is corrupt.

>>36 >>37 >>39

I like how you're talking to yourself, ID:G+TjtCzr.
Very intelligent choice there.

Can we plox just ignore her. People keep saying they will then replying, it just eggs her on.

>>41 What actually eggs her on is trying to logically debate with her. The longer the response/the more time you spend writing it, the more rewarding it is for the troll. Plus, so long as she's allowed to post on the News board, she's not going to leave :I

I do agree, though. I should stop posting. I just feel the need to point things out every now and again.

>>40 "I like how you're talking to yourself" im talking to myself how? or are you just being funny?

>>42 "so long as she's allowed to post on the News board, she's not going to leave" freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without interference or constraint. so are you saying that im not allowed to post on the news board? by saying that you are saying that I don't have the right to freedom of speech.

>>46 "Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them." Nobody is willing to receive what you have to say, please leave.

>>47 XD wow your dumb you don't even know what freedom of speech is. yes freedom of speech is a right. but it has nothing to do with people receiveing what I have to say. receiveing what I have to say is a choice not a right. Freedom of speech is the ability to speak without censorship or limitation. Also called freedom of expression, it refers not only to verbal speech but any act of communicating information or ideas, including publications, broadcasting, art, advertising, film, and the Internet. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are closely related to the concepts of freedom of thought and conscience.

you was right untell you sead "using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them."

>>27

Why do morons always have to make something a religious debate?

>>48 You do realise that what I wrote was the literal UN definition of the right to free speech? Like, if anything is official, that is it. If you aren't talking about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, you have a different degree of free speech to just about every single person in the world.

>>51 "You do realise that what I wrote was the literal UN definition of the right to free speech?" hmmm then may I suggest re-thinking what you sead "using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them." im sorry but that part just dousen't sound right. XD how is that a literal UN definition of the right to free speech?

>>52 How fucking stupid are you? The UN as in United Nations as in that giant group of nations that work together in an attempt to stabilize the world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is what literally every first world country follows. In that declaration, that is how they define free speech. So it is the literal definition of free speech.

(Sorry to everybody else because I broke the rule and replied but I just had to this time)

>>53 "The UN as in United Nations as in that giant group of nations that work together in an attempt to stabilize the world" that still don't sound right. first how are you going to "stabilize the world" like really?

I think its great. its like what Light from death note does. he kills bad people then the crimes stop because people are afraid of getting caught. and criminals deserve to die. if they have committed a bad enough crime. why waste money on jails? why not just kill the people who do wrong? (note I am not religious this is just part of what I know about religion, please do not take offence if I say something wrong) the bible says something about Jesus ridding the world of all people bad. but he is not doing a good job. and not all people believe in that religion so people need to start doing the job themselves to make sure that s gets done and no more good people get hurt.

>>55 But who gets to say who can kill or who can be killed or what is considered bad or evil? Morality is subjective. What may seem extremely bad to some people is only slightly bad to other people. And then there are people like me who think it is wrong to kill no matter the reason.

>>56 "there are people like me who think it is wrong to kill no matter the reason." Amen! finally somebody with some common cents!

I'm actually starting to prefer GHF, at least they would have known who the UN was. It seems to imply BFN either didn't go to highschool or hasn't started it.

>>58 I do know known who the UN was. but what you sead didn't sound right.

Bump

1) This is old news, and it shouldn't be bumped
2) I looked into this and there is a large chance that it is not legitimate. Stories that are nearly identical pop up from the years 2009, 2011 and 2012, from quite a few shady websites
3) You didn't provide a source in the first place, making this thread illegitimate
4) Read this before posting anything.

Ah sorry solace, I just think its pretty interesting ive been actively searching more current information about the Juarez and you can search it up, alot of information will not be available in the United states considering the jurisdiction is not in.mexico, just google news some more stuff, I posted a link earlier on yhe thread, look through the old post, I'll let the thread die, next time ill just sage.Anyways Sorry again.

The JCC is legitimate, but they are pretty unorganized and far too rough around the edges to ever actually make a change.

However, I support the people standing up and murdering cartel members.

Hurrah, Mexibros.
