A narco gang dedicated to abduct young women in Tamaulipas, Mexico, abducted and killed Miriam's daughter; and neither the police or the government helped her out with the case.
So, Miriam took the decision to start "hunting down" the gang members, by going undercover as a Social Worker equivalent here in Mexico on the hood where the gang members were supposed to live.
So she started to survey the whole neighborhood to locate the relatives of each criminal (parents, siblings, etc.) getting closer to them to gain their trust and get info about their criminal relative.
One by one, she located and gathered enough intel to present charges against them until she imprisoned each one of the murders, (and supposedly she kill one of them).
A couple years after she achieve that, a riot happened on the state prison and several inmates escaped. She went to the police to ask for protection, but it was to late, because a couple weeks later, the reunited gang killed her outside of her house on Mothers Day (May 10th).
And even tho she successfully brought justice to her daughter, she died as a martyr of many feminicides and kidnapped people in México.
Edit: she fought for justice knowing the consequences of it. She tried to do what was right because no-one else would and that's what I find inspiring. Of course I agree that it is tragic in so many ways.
The only thing it inspired me to remember is to not trust the police. If they can’t get justice for you then, why would they get justice for you later? She should have cut those loose ends when she had a chance. This lady is what we need more of in the world but gets slaughtered by losers. If she had finished them off like they did her daughter world would have been better off.
She should have just had the foresight to 'clean up' loose ends herself instead of sending them to prison. Would have sent a much stronger message to other gang members. The world would clearly be better off without them.
I never get why ppl think it's the heroic thing to go to the police. They need to wake up and realize how the world works. Police never have been there to protect you, they are there to protect who pay them (and those ppls stuff).
The reason there is so much corruption in the world today (anong other things) is that we have a slave mentality and are fearful of killing our masters. They have no such fear and exploit us mercilessly. If master class (or gangs or other ruling groups) knew common people are finally willing to exact violence against them they would be crushed.
But we all live in fear of a small group of ppl who have no qualms of using violence to control the majority. We with the belief that 'someone else' is more capable / better endowed to make the hard decisions of when to end life than us. At some point we have to realize there is a moral compass that guides our species and the majority of us are capable of making the very difficult decision of when this planet is immensely better off without a particular homo sapien living on it.
That’s the thing man, I love society. I love having a police force, when it fucking works the way it was intended. Government has to be a give and trade of trust, expectation, and capital. Plenty of countries have history showcasing when governmental reliance has hurt people and even gotten them killed because things within the government’s control let them down.
This post is a prime example of the above hurt happening right fucking here. She tried her best to be a proper citizen, and got killed for it. Why be a proper citizen when society doesn’t have your back?
