I chose this article because while it is important to remember such tragedies to help prevent them in the future, I also thought how the article refused to blatantly point fingers at the drug cartels as the perpetrators was interesting. I related it to the article we read, entitled "The Fall of Mexico". For me it was educational because my idea of Mexico is one devoid of the concept of drug cartels, which is an ignorance that needs to be corrected.
In conclusion, the article is mainly composed of interviews from people who witnessed the massacre, and also interesting facts about various drug cartels in Mexico.
