Very Brave Young Lady

A 20-year-old criminology student has been named the chief of police in one of the most dangerous municipalities in Mexico's violence-wracked northern
state of Chihuahua.

"Marisol Valles Garcia, the only person to accept the post"
I admire this young woman's courage and dedication and fear for her safety. However, if I were a Mexican national, I'd be embarrassed in reading this.
I'd also question the local government's sanity.

I too fear for her safety. I hope the cartel bosses will leave her alone, as she states that drug enforcement is not her job there. It will take
hundreds of brave young Mexican men and women to start their way upward politically if the corruption that allowed the cartels to get their death hold
on Mexico will be stopped. If this generation allows business as usual, the cartels will own everything they already don't in a short time period.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

every journey start with a first step. let's hope she's the start of a long line of Mexicans who stand up in the face of adversity/reality.
maybe this is their civil rights movement, so to speak.

"Two bodyguards have been assigned to protect Valles Garcia. While the cartels have been more than able to penetrate much tighter security details —
killing mayors and police chiefs throughout northern Mexico —she says she isn't afraid."
------------------------
This whole thing is crazy. Two bodyguards? They're as good as dead and if she isn't afraid, she's already made the deal.
How can anybody be expected to believe there's altruistic reality to this charade? I mean, Guadalupe is real close to Juarez.

I think she's VERY irresponsible.
She made a decison to have a kid. That trumps her choices for about 20 years. Her responsibility is to provide for the kid, not make political
statements with such profound possibilities.

Some people at 20 can be very immature and of course of the believe they are invincable. Apparently not only reserved for macho alpha males. Her age
explains a lot. Poor girl.

Back to the two bodyguards.....If they didn't believe the fix was in, would they have accepted the job?
No way.

Not an attempt to hijack this post:
It's hard to stand up in the face of adversity while staring at the business-end of a "cuerno de chivo". I sincerely believe that if Mexico had an
amendment similar to our second, there would be a hell of a lot less crime and kidnappings. Criminals prefer unarmed victims.

I'll place a bet that this young woman is left alone by the cartel(s). She made a clear statement to all....that she is not going to chase the
cartels...just police her town. She must be part Irish!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
