'Diana The Hunter' takes credit for vigilante bus driver killings in Mexico | The Raw Story Quote:
Local media have received an anonymous message signed by "Diana, the hunter," claiming to act as "an instrument of vengeance" for the sexual abuse committed by drivers in Ciudad Juarez, a border city with a dark record of violence against women.
Witnesses said a woman wearing a blonde wig shot the drivers in the head after stopping the buses last week. Sandoval said prosecutors believe they were either crimes of passion or motivated by vengeance.
| It seems the Karma Bus literally came for the rapists, or in this case they were driving it themselves. Some info about the town, Ciudad Juarez. It seems to be a really sick place where probably most of the authorities, law enforcement etc. are corrupted and involved in crime and the 'femicides'. It is not a suprise this scorned place is right at the border of Texas where there is currently a rampage against women's rights. Quote:
Between the years of 1993 and 2003 in Juárez there had been over 4000 feminicides which have attracted wide attention. Bodies were often dumped in ditches or vacant lots. Grassroots organizations in the region reported an additional 400 women as missing. Despite pressure to catch the killers and a roundup of some suspects, few believe the true culprits were found. A 2007 book called The Daughters of Juárez, by Teresa Rodriguez, implicates high-level police and prominent Juárez citizens in the crimes. This topic is also discussed in the 2006 book "The Harvest of Women" by journalist Diana Washington Valdez, and in the novel 2666 by Roberto Bolaño, in which Ciudad Juárez is fictionalized as "Santa Teresa", a border city in Sonora.

A 2004 conference held at the University of California-Los Angeles entitled "Maquiladora Murders" drew worldwide attention to the cases of hundreds of young Mexican women who worked in maquiladoras—American-owned transnational factories—and met untimely, often brutal deaths. Who killed them is still a mystery. What is not a mystery is that incidents of domestic violence and femicide in Ciudad Juárez have risen in the wake of heavy industrialization along the border; that industrialization was a result of the signing of the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
In less than a decade, a city that once had very low homicide statistics now reports that at least 300–400 women and girls were killed in Ciudad Juárez between 1994 and 2000. Some of the murders fell into a bizarre serial killer pattern. Others were suspiciously linked to illegal trafficking gangs. Still others involved abductions of young, female maquiladora workers who never made it to or from work and whose bodies were later found dumped in Lomas de Poleo, the desert that surrounds Ciudad Juárez. They had been raped, beaten, or mutilated.
| The government has done exactly nothing to stop this. Only now when there is a vigilante killing the rapists and murderers they started to investigate which hints the government corruption and involvement at high level. |
