A woman says she saw Mexican soldiers shoot and kill her 15-year-old daughter after a confrontation with a suspected drug gang even though the teenager was lying wounded on the ground. Twenty others also were shot and killed in rural southern Mexico after they surrendered and were disarmed, the mother told The Associated Press.

"A soldier stood the kid up and killed him," said the witness, who said she had gone to the warehouse the night before to try to retrieve her daughter from the gang she had apparently joined."

Choices have consequences! Joining that gang doesn't seem like such a good idea now, huh? Maybe someone else will learn from it.

After they have been disarmed, shooting them is too extreme. If in an exchange of gunfire, I can understand. These people should not have been shot. Bad move on the Mexican Police's part.

It all depends. They might look at it as a war with a take no prisoners agenda. That's happened before in the US.

How many cops have been killed by these criminals? I have no sympathy for them.

American drug users support the cartels. I don't support the cartels but let's be real. We are the reason for the humanitarian crisis on the border. I say legalize drugs, send addicts to rehab rather than prison, and tax the heck out of the stuff. Time to take away funding from the illegal element

Stupid drug users are the reason for the drug cartels. They fuel the demand. You're correct there.

But we as a country are NOT responsible for the South American/Central American/Other unstable, poverty-ridden hellholes that the illiterate poor are fleeing.

Come to America--and the US sucker taxpayers will take care of you--free everything. You can be another of the parasites swarming here.

B. Hussein Obama is getting his wish. EFF him and his entire administration.

The Mexican police are just as much thugs as the gang members if they are doing stuff like that.

What is the point of having laws then???

Nah, that's just Mexico, you have to respect their culture.

You can;t judge another culture by your standards....otherwise you would be called anthropomorphic!

When we annex Mexico we can send the social justice police section of the DOJ down there to encourage higher standards. Maybe some 'Hands up Don't shoot' T-shirts may be left over for re-distribution.

Word is it that MOST drugs from Mexico are going to Europe, NOT the US in 2014.

Too; what IS it about LatAm? Ain't a country down there that has its act together tho there's a LOT of rich people living in Mexico and so on.

In other words: we DON'T owe LatAm a thing except the return of their illegal aliens in the US. Let the rich people feed their poor cousins. Sheesh!

The drug cartels have little to do with the so-called humanitarian crisis on the border. The reason most of them are fleeing their countries is because they heard our government won't deport them and in fact feed, clothe them and give them anything else they want along with the promise of amnesty all at the taxpayer expense.
