A Time For Mourning Turns to Violence

In memory of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre that took place 40 years ago in Mexico City, protesters took to the streets a few weeks ago to mourn and show their respects. What started as a day to protest and mourning turned to violence when punk kids started attacking riot police and looting the city. The major newspapers of Mexico were filled with cover stories and pictures of the action that took place. Though it was documented that the police were very calm and did not use excessive force to control the angry mob; there is rumor that some Mexican police paid looters to run wild through the city during the display of protest. I can say that out of all of the mayhem, some crazy pictures came out of the event. For the full photo reel check here.
