PAGINA 24, a local Jalisco newspaper reported (and my Spanish is not the best and the paper is not online) that there is the possibility of more violence (so far three shot (one guy was 75 yrs old) and wounded among the ejido and two state policemen). The paper reported the number as about 55 - 60 ejido members involved in a dispute over 40 hectares of land, 17 of whom were arrested -- the youngest, age 15. The Human Rights folks were officially investigating the use of force, while the State Police security guys say they were just enforcing the law and the head of the Central National Campesina org (my guess is this is a state or national ejido org) was objecting and asking for the governor's intervention. The word "pendejados" was used by someone when talking about the action (I think the campesina guy) which I was told means "asshXXXs." By later in the day apparently everyone was using words like "the situation is complicated."
