On December 7, Mexico's Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam confirmed that human remains found in a river in Cocula, Guerrero, were those of Alexander Mora, one of the missing 43 Ayotzinapa students.
In our first dispatch about the case that has electrified Mexico, VICE News spoke with parents of the missing students, who are reluctant to accept the identification of one set of remains as evidence of a massacre of the other 42 students, as they continue to demand answers.

Its been almost 7 years, the fact of the matter is these young men were murdered and disposed of. Its time to stop pretending there "alive" being held somewhere and just arrest the scumbags who did this.

[@moletinii]

It was so simple all along! How come nobody never thought about it before?! Thank you jeff dinkelburg

[@Mexindian01]

solidarity with the protesters in Mexico...May their fight continue

[@thegeek4576]

That sad thing is that the students are most likely dead by this point

[@a.a.a.8365]

"May the Mexican People, keep fighting, for the future of Their Children, For GOD is With Them on This FIGHT!!!"

[@LiquidSpartan117]

The Argentinian forensic team said they were not present when the remains where found. They could prove it was from the student, not where it came from.

[@pornandcomics7325]

what's up with that mayor? still alive w/ all these parents around?

[@benm5182]

might make you question that lax bust by the us dea

[@johnwitherspoon3713]

What an astute observation

[@elguerokabron]

What an astute response mr whiterspoon

[@josephmartin7687]

If that was my child that little slick haired Mayor and his wife would be no more!

[@ShadowfinderMusic]

It seems as if a massive social revolution is coming, similar to the French Revolution. There's too much social unrest and upheaval everywhere - governments are starting to loose control. I'm not sure if such a massive world-wide revolution, fueled by social media and the common man, would be a good thing for the world. It could lead us into total anarchy, widespread violence and continuous unrest.

[@HedserWijbenga]

ok

[@DaHuntsman1]

It does appear that way, what with the middle eastern Arab Spring revolutions, and the political climate elsewhere, it appears that we are heading into a second "revolutionary era".

[@FuturisticBagel]

brb moving to Finland

[@TheAwp45]

DaHuntsman1 there have already been more than two revolutionary eras, and the Arab Spring has already evolved into an Arab Winter.

[@pedroavina1757]

So what you're saying is that there might be an Assassins Creed game about this in the future?

[@funkehouse]

I feel bad for these people, it is a horrible situation but I think it's time to accept the realities of this tragedy, we already have the answer, they were burned and incinerated and tossed into the river just like the informant said they were, it is highly unlikely they are still alive being hidden somewhere for this long being unseen for such along time.

[@Franzua11]

Todo esto tambien a querido pasar en las normales de michoacan, en general en cheran,michoacan, tanto como en arteaga, tiripiteo y en morelia. Algo lamentable.!

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

My heart truly goes out to the parents of the missing students & the loss of whatever good things they could've brought to Mexico via their educations. I'm looking at this in 2019. A lot of time has passed. May the students rest in peace & may their parents have peace as well. Nieto doesn't seem to be a good guy. Before he left office, he signed the UN Migrant Compact which means your country is not your country anymore. So you get all those "migrants". US didn't sign it. But Nieto effectively stabbed the Mexican citizens in the back. I hope one day the Mexican people & government can create a system they can both agree with. Hard times now with Globalists. Much good luck in finding the remains of the students.

[@GeorgeIsaacPadilla]

I'm all for the Normalistas but eventually they're gonna have to come to terms with their kids' deaths. It almost seems like they're in denial.

[@josegvl13]

Call for revolution

[@jayrob280]

God help these poor people give them salvation !

[@arias6720]

Wts up with all these mass killings?? All this is madd.

[@pseudopsych8817]

Mexico goverment and cartel neverr think that human is priceless and valuable.

[@msmarsi009]

where was he found? if it was in the Cocula landfills then there is some validation to what the informant said or are they thinking the situation was staged?

[@lbunnygordon1133]

I dont think this will ever resolve. Sad for the families. I visited Mexico but used expensive buses as was wary. And bus was still surrounded by protestors and we eventually were left stranded we got a taxi to last town. No sign of any security or police at bus station!

[@Shackleford_Rusty]

Look at all those camaradas, I get it now

[@smittyboy3419]

Are we to believe the ones who lost tiny islands to a tiny british fleet next to their own homeland?

[@manuelalejandrochavezcasti1476]

Can you offer any alternatives mijo? or you are just mocking around ?

[@onzoramirez3410]

[@CTBALLZ]

Imagine if the students were able to defend themselves, with guns......just saying

[@Electromag50]

then it wouldnt be mexico

[@danielcasillas1133]

connecticuck what? Who brings a gun to school?

[@queenofjams3709]

I heard that they were telling the police that they weren't armed. I mean , if thats the case , if they're armed , they would have fought back right? Wow , what a concept.

[@CarlosRamirez-ox4bf]

Anyone know what the black color Mexican flag signifies?

I should run for president in Mexico

[@eziomondragon]

Why the United States can't send their military troops in Mexico so they can easily destroy the drug cartels please?

[@sagejavier]

you need a lot to learn my young blood , simply cus the United States Consumes the major shit latin america produce they even suport some cartels in mexico to go war with others to unstabiliza the nation

[@eziomondragon]

Trollmen Caster what about Colombia thay have guerillas like FARC, ELN and others should us help colombia to fight guerillas

[@smittyboy3419]

The cartels will kick their asses

[@eziomondragon]

Mexican Tithers but the united states has powerful allies is the EU and non eu members what else they defeat them if its NATO members

[@manuelalejandrochavezcasti1476]

Is never a good idea to have US troops trying to install order and democracy in foreign nations ,plus like Trollmen Caster said ,the US consumes most of the hard stuff, it's cheaper and convenient to have a store right next door. It's a never ending story especially with the decadent culture that we have got in the entire American continent. The State and the Narcas have been murdering the population at a large scale for quite a while now, the reason why it touches a nerve it's because they murdered young students, but the State,the stupidTV & our old "friend" the Catholic church keep the population in a state of suspended disbelief .We will stir the wheel for the future generations! Fuck the government and the Narca drug dealers! We will fight this one smartly .
