Tijuana: The victimized and murdered children of los narcomenudistas
The car Ashley was killed in |
Do you ever question question your path in life? Your decisions, your actions, your choices? And wonder what would be different if you could go back and change, replace, repair the things you regret, so you go back and unravel a life, one thread at time, and you realize how fragile the entire system can be, how much one event, one person, one night, can affect everything else after, and before it. That’s what violence is like. So, it may be one body, but it courses through the veins of many. It leaves dozens shattered, shaking, convulsed in it’s wake.
Roberto Carlos Marvilla, survived. |
Hugo David Contreras, 7, lived in one of the hottest spots in La Sanchez, a known drug trafficking outlet, apartments and houses, where crystal meth, and heroin were sold. His mother worked in a maquiladora, and his stepfather was a narcocomuedista, in the service of CJNG, his mother had met Roberto Carlos Marvilla three months earlier, and the three lived in his home.
The bullet struck Ashley Castorena, 5, in her stomach, as she sat in the back of the family car, in traffic in Colonia Mariano Matamoros. Her parents, including Jesus Alberto Aispuro Medina, “El Mazapan”, a narcocomudista, and her mother, drove to the hospital. Glass, blood, the frantic and anguished cries of a mother, as she watches her daughter slip away, fatally shot, bullets lodged in her tiny frame.
There is a familiar pattern here, impoverished communities, of which there are few choices, very low wages, and almost no hope. Mothers work in maquiladoras, or other entry level jobs, many of the men sell crystal, or work in some way for the retail cells controlling sales in the neighborhood. They try to have a life. Gifts on Christmas, food for the kids, maybe a carne asada every once in awhile.
Children are born into this world everyday, in Sanchez Taboada, Mariano Matamoros, colonias of Tijuana, Mexico, and beyond, in every place there is widespread, concentrated urban poverty. The symptoms are the same. The consequences are devastating. Children who join their families trade, or join the neighborhood cells, to stand on corners, halcones, runners, eventually gunmen, narcomenudistas themselves, in line for a shot at being the plaza boss.
Hundreds of children have had their parents murdered, and at least dozens have themselves been murdered. Who do we blame? Who do you attack? The parents fault. Or is it their parents fault? Have we become so callous and cold, self righteous we blame the children themselves for being in the way of bullets?
Roberto Carlos Marvilla and Jesus Medina survived the attacks. Do the dead come for them at night? Do their stepdaughters cries echo in their ears? Can they be drowned or silenced in the beers, the liquor, the crystal, the killings? They are the walking dead themselves, and they must know it, every time they leave the house, every time they feel the pistol in their waist, or tucked in the belt.
Will they be faster then the men sent to kill them? Or can they kill those who came for them? Catch them as they attend church on Sunday, firing into the vehicles, ambush them as they return from dinner, emptying 9mm shells in the backs of their targets….Can they take their parents away from their children too?
Lost souls, numb from the killing, lost in the frenzy of death, the metallic, heavy, snap of a slide being pulled back, or a magazine being inserted in a pistol, the echoing of gunfire in the night, the sounds of a child crying, the sight of one who will never cry again….
