The killings of six children and their three mothers has burst the illusion that only criminals fall victim to Mexico’s gang-fuelled violence.

The President has struggled to assuage the divided nation, with some casting their support behind his impulse not to fight "fire with fire," and others crying out for a stronger, more coherent response.

Tyler Johnson, right, whose wife, Christina Langford Johnson, was among those killed in an ambush, embraces a family member.Andre Miller raced back home to tell his family what he had seen. At the time, he didn't know whether Rhonita Miller had made it out of the SUV with her children.Men gathered to rush to the scene. They stopped near the undulating dirt road that leads over rugged mountains into the state of Chihuahua, fearful of what lay ahead.

As the local cartel raced up the road to confront its enemies, the family stopped at the SUV's smouldering frame, where the remains of Rhonita Miller and her children were scarcely recognisable.Mrs Miller’s car was destroyed by fire.Social media began to light up as family members shared the tragic news on WhatsApp and posted videos to Twitter, pleading for help. Along the road through the mountains, cell reception is spotty at best.

The road narrowed as it climbed steeply. To the left, a dense wall of mud rose into the hillside. To the right, a ravine plunged to the floor of a narrow valley before rising into a towering mountain. Evelyn Langford, 13, Christina's youngest sister, plays with Faith, Christina's daughter who survived the ambush.The gunmen fled soon after, racing off the mountainside, while the children hid in the brush. Led by the eldest son, Devin Langford, 13, they slipped out of the vehicle and dashed into the ravine for cover, hiding beneath the low-hanging trees that clung to its side.

Didn’t you guys admonish Trump when he described these Mexican gangs as animals? Are they animals to you guys yet -or swell guys deserving of victimhood status because Trumps a racist or some garbage?

Imagine having this on your border and not wanting protection against it.

it also bursts the illusion that people are smart and caring enough to limit the number of children they have

I keep thinking 'why' ? Babies and tiny children aren't a threat to these people and also why would anyone live in this place when they knew how dangerous it would be.

That illusion was fine when it was predominantly people of colour dying. Now that white people have died.... Journalism is racist.

I hope not many people thought that, Mexico’s border country is incredibly dangerous for tourists

These are the types that the left defend when attacking Trump.

Big problem with this ‘irresponsible’ signGetting an ice cream on a hot day might be one of summer’s greatest delights but one store has been banned from saying the sweet treat can make you happy. 🤦‍♂️ Some people have nothing better to do than whinge and complain. For some of us it is a statement of fact....🍦🍨 Here's a novel idea. How about you take some personal responsibility? Yes, if you eat a box of ice creams a day you will likely be unhealthy.
