Goodreads Doesn't Have It, Data Migration: The Femicide Machine
Fantastic journalism. Excellent analysis of the situation.
“The true cause of such ineptitude resides in the efficacy of the femicide machine, whose functioning has evolved over time, incorporating judicial and political systems, to such an extent that Mexican authorities have sidetracked or blocked the investigations. This performance goes beyond the mere incompetence or negligence which some have cited to justify their own actions. Authorities have continually discredited those who oppose their official version of the truth: The crimes, they insist, are merely a product of domestic violence, or, more recently, the war on drug trafficking. They seek to discount the systematic and peculiar violence against women”
“In 2003, the commission issued a report condemning the federal government’s oversight before the problem.”
“The current crisis in Mexico reflects the high costs of indifference and complicity with respect to institutional decline. At one point, every murder victim in Ciudad Juarez sent out a warning cry that was either ignored or minimized by the state and the Mexican government.”
"Authorities refused to investigate the cases in depth. These events imply a misogynistic furor that escalated from an isolated crime to a collective ravaging."
"There is no concentrated, proactive defense against organized crime in Ciudad Juarez. Consequently what remains is a useless and brutal government operation that constantly harasses the civilian population and tramples its rights."
What's the difference between that police force and a tumor? It does the opposite of what it's paid to do. Sounds like Washington State Police.
Everything that Rodriguez said about the Mexican police is 100% also true of the Washington police. They are only just now getting around to the Nordic model. Pushback on felonies for Johns for driving the market up and creating the collapse is immense.
