The recent discovery of 177 bodies from unmarked graves in San Fernando, Tamaulipas has horrified the public.
Some commentators are calling the murders: "our Auschwitz" and a "Mexican genocide."
Apparently the murders had been going on for months "...and no one, not the bus companies, nor the police, nor the officials in charge, acted to stop it."
Officials believe most of the victims were bus passengers, who were tortured and slaughtered.
Women were raped before being killed...and some were burned alive.
"If Tamaulipas is not a failed state, or a narco-state, it sure looks like one," political analyst Alfonso Zarate said. "The institutional powers are incapable of upholding the law."
