The Search Continues: Mexico's Disappeared Students (Part 2)

Subscribe to VICE News here: bit.ly/Subscrib...
On September 26, teaching students from the Ayotzinapa Normal School in Mexico were intercepted by police forces en route to a protest in Iguala. In the ensuing clash, six people were killed, and 43 Ayotzinapa students were taken away by the police. Investigations over the following weeks led to the startling allegations that the police had acted at the behest of the local mayor, and had turned over the abducted students to members of the Guerreros Unidos cartel. All 43 students are now feared dead.
The case has come to represent the negative feeling of the Mexican public toward the state of justice and the rule of law in Mexico. The events have now galvanized the survivors of the attack and the disappeared students' parents. Nationwide demonstrations have increased in intensity, and recently led to government buildings in the state of Guerrero to be set on fire.
In this episode, VICE News travels with a volunteer search party in Iguala continuing the search for the missing 43 students, while the parents of the disappeared students petition President Enrique Peña Nieto to give answers, or failing that, his resignation.

The eyes of the mayor's wife at the end resumes her involvement in that case. Incredible.

[@h2w25]

They unwittingly stole a bus that was filled with heroine and bound for Chicago. That’s the why. Ultimately, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If Mexico wants revolution from their kleptocracy, many more will die.

[@jeffwillis3466]

I'm praying that they find the 43 students alive.

[@dudelivestrong]

Keep praying is does nothing. Hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that these students are all dead. They don't have a reason to keep them.

[@godzillamaster90]

to all the fellow americans watching this, never let your government take away your guns or shit like this will happen in your country too

[@rickyrodriguez7819]

***** Mexico is in North America.....

[@aeternusero]

JC Budu Yes, it's the USA's fault Mexican police are armed and kill kids.

[@bmgvids]

I agree...fuk all those guns laws... thats what they want everyone unarmed...

[@xKarma93]

Um but in Mexico the right to bear arms isn’t illegal.

[@stevenoviedo541]

What an incredibly dumb comment. You think them having arms would fave them from a fucking cartel hunting them down.

[@zulumafoo3471]

In mexico 43 students dissapear and people goes mad ,in brazil thousands of people dissapear every year and people does nothing . I hope they find this students alive ,supports from brazil.

[@DevintheHIGHRISH]

you should shut that annoying back ground beat off this video its annoying as hell

[@CantYouWin]

I dont get it , why do they think the students are alive? they been missing for 30+ days they have no value at all , so why keep them alive? waste of time and food as well as other resourses , i bet all my money those who took the students also shot them and burry them somewere ....

[@purpy2]

those kids are fuckin dead, asking the government to investigate this situation is like asking a serial killer (or fuckin bill cosby) to turn himself in.

[@lruiz940]

CantYouWin hope is the only thing they trust.

[@anthonyl5065]

If they really had no value why take them in the first place, they are students handed over to the cartel. Obviously they are using their brains for something. You guys are all idiots

[@MrTwiddlez]

At least people in Mexico are ACTUALLY fighting Police corruption, not like in the US where they attempt to find every little reason to riot and loot.

[@elisamondragon2849]

aliennnjoe1998 You should stop your interventionist policies worldwide, including the ones in México. Stop been the number one murders world wide.

[@lbunnygordon1133]

In Uk noone protests about situation they only know to protest re external countries!!

[@nellennatea]

I just can not believe it. Imagine if one of these students was your son or daughter. It's so shocking.

[@GerPrz]

Great work Daniel, Thank you.

[@1802edna]

People in you dont know what is really going on ( in mexico) stay out of it. Just watch the video and shut up. You have no idea how it feels to go trough all this. As a Mexican I demand respect, this is really painful for all Mexicans and We are fighting to save our country.

[@bigdon-3217]

Calmatė lol

[@breth8159]

I miss going to Mexico I'll probably never go there again and I live at the border ... you're safer in Beirut!

[@breth8159]

***** I'd rather take a time machine and go to Ensenada in the eighties

[@breth8159]

***** your perception is different from mine I respectfully submit that I don't agree

[@breth8159]

***** yes blame the guns not the bankrupt society. I don't disagree with you the whole world is going crazy but I think the guns are not the problem its the people shooting them do you blame the Hammers for building the buildings . I've known some grandmothers who had guns and they were able to keep people out of their house with them do you think all those guns in Switzerland is why it's such a violent country?

[@jaydavila1440]

Bret H cant help but laugh when americans think all of mexico is same and the violence is widespread, i travel from mexicos northern border to its southern border (on road) and i can tell you that its only small pockets within the country that are bad. if it was as bad as people make things out to be i would have moved back to texas in a heart beat. i am sure the growing expat community and even tourist would agree.

[@JupyterMercuryo]

Don't worry, as long as you are not young, old, poor, indigenous, student, woman, or a thinking being overall, you'll be alright, in México, the government won't harm you.

[@fsharpe8037]

Great presentation.my parents being from guerrero I feel an extra connection to the tragedy and can't but think this easily could have been me had they emigrated.

[@lovegymnastic07]

My heart aches SO much.

[@serch91atdi]

Good work Even that local news

[@margaritaalvarez8006]

It's important to point out that a general was attending the party of the ex-mayor at the time of the disappearance of the 43 students. The army is much more involved in these matters.

[@lbunnygordon1133]

Army equals police equals cartels .. that s impression I felt in CDMX and later on heard in Campeche of normal US guy veing circled by police and robbed of everything inc his passport ...he was lucky to get away with his life. He was on his way at night to a hostel....

I hate to say it but looking for them alive is pretty much a waste of resources. They have no reason to keep them alive. It was clear in the beginning they would be looking for graves.

[@andydufresne87]

for christ sake, those civilians that organized and are searching for the mass graves should protect themselves with masks or gloves, the guy that was digging with bare hands is risking to get some serious infections... just touching the clothes is dangerous...

[@GamemovieCollection]

This "group" you keep talking about are the people, getting back what is theirs.

[@gwangvatar]

this similar case like last 5 years ago maguindanao massacre in philippines

[@eplinox]

just a crazy random idea, what if the government had borrowed money from the cartel and can't pay it back so now the cartel is killing the civilians and the government can't admit to dealing with the cartel. (crazy idea with no actual knowledge of the real issue^)

[@Revoluxhumanista19]

BINGO! ding! ding! Ding! I Bet its part of IT!

[@xzst]

Goverments as a whole cant borrow money from individuals. You have national debts for that. A goverment isnt a person, who cant pay his rent. What really happened is that the cartels are financing certain politicians - prime minister, president, etc.

[@kriziea3867]

Well thats basically it. They borrow money to help in their campain runs. They end up owing rhem for life.

[@kriziea3867]

I bet even the president has borrowed dirty money.

[@eplinox]

or at least the mayor could of.

[@kkingcombo12345]

Legalize marijuana and shrink the pockets of the cartels.

[@berniechrisok]

take the power back and stop voting in criminals to office my heart is with the parents of those murdered by the very men meant to protect them

[@smokeandmirr0rs]

wow

[@yandex8]

This is like a murderous war between society and mafia which influences authorities strongly, and taking into account the case I suppose mafia pays much money to all the authorities which "legalize" them, also authorities need visibility of "fight agains mafia", just visibility. I think US is fully satisfied with this situation either and with loyal Mexico authorities.

[@elisamondragon2849]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@jefftc14]

so fucked up...

[@hildardo1986]

Tal vez ya esten ejecutados pero no es la forma en que el gobierno actuo y en el tiempo que se llebo para darle fin al tema ayotzinapa,tomar las armas no es lo correcto pero si una forma de enfrentar al gobierno

[@uramag7]

a full governmet mulligan along with a no tolerence policy should be put into effect where anyone involved in the slightest part of a cartel should be hanged and their families wealth should be donated to a good cause.. NO EXCEPTIONS!

[@TUCHENZ]

they are thinking of holding an annual purge over there

[@uramag7]

Rogue Slayer so what.. cant get rid of the cartels becuase the government needs to funding?? their is some idiotic reasoning if i've ever heard it. if you're in the government and you get caught taking a bribe.. immediate hanging no questions asked... i think that would clean things up pretty fast... or at the least it would have the government officials thinking twice if they knew they would get strung up if anyone found out.

[@TUCHENZ]

They should hold an annual purge over there

[@Alliesvoid]

[@wertzaky29]

I can bet my life the 43 student wont be alive, it would be really stupid for them to keep them alive its like Kidnapers: yo guys we gonna let u life since everyone wanted u to life but remember dont tell them who we are and what we do ok? 43 student: ok

[@1802edna]

"La esperanza muere al ultimo" thats a quote that we have

[@wertzaky29]

Edna Ibarra and what does it means?

[@1802edna]

"Hope is the last thing you lose" OR "Hope is the last thing in life we all lose".

[@wertzaky29]

Edna Ibarra i do really wanted them to be alive but thats not possible since they knew these student will tell to the public what actually happen to them,who kidnaped them,or etc. Btw i still dont get their motivation for kidnaping the student if they dont want ransom nor killing them. Or maybe they just giving massage for normal student so no more normal school?

[@1802edna]

Yeah lets be realistic, they are not alive but since Mexico is very religious we believe that they are alive or like one of the students parent said "If my son is not alive please tell me were I can found his body" ouch!! They kidnapped because the mayor's wife ordered to do it. She was in a "party" and the students were on the way to protest, so she knew and she told to the police/cartel to disappear them. She was the one with the power not his husband, in a lot of sources they don't share this information but her brothers used to be part of the Cartel Guerreros Unidos (narco traffic ) , but the killed them. So she is the only one alive and she used to work with-for them. If you haven't seen the news about Mexico, let me tell you.. We’re angry with our government, I’m a student and I’m afraid because for my government I’m a criminal. We’ve made a lot of protest in which some mates were sended to jail because they were claiming for their rights. We want the 43 students back alive and we want our president Enrique Peña Nieto to quit because he’s destroying our country. I start to believe the the ones that who are scare is them because we are fighting and we are not going to stop. " THEY TRIED TO BURY US. THEY DIDNT KNOW WE WERE SEEDS" Mexican proverb

I had a crazy dream let me break it down how my "VACATION" to my hometown huetamo, michoacan, played out. I'm not sure but i feel I should say this if you think I'm on "crackpot" or "crazy" exactly why I hesitated, even more strange this my second time i sleep write and always on certain square of a calendar day. look I wrote pri or prj, 56 Mexican official 4 of 56 are females 2 American government males, 3 of the 10 killers who got great cartel connections remain missing others already killed,by same people who trained and payed them but is the number people responsible. I wrote it on the 18th day of February 2015. sucks I die by some guy in a ice cream cart, he been chasing this lil boy I try to block him but its heavy and runs me over till i die. In my dream I'm "sultana" I guess like a ancient killer? And I find few bones In bean plantations. This Is only my silly nightmare ok.
