Folks in the central Mexican town of Taxco on Thursday participated in an angry mob-fueled public execution a few hours before local Catholics, likely with at least some overlap from the first group, recreated a famous historical angry mob-fueled public execution, NBC News reports.
First, a woman suspected of kidnapping and murdering an eight year-old girl was ripped out of a police vehicle and savagely beaten to death by an angry bloodthirsty mob. Reportedly there was video evidence showing the woman dumping the girl’s body, but who the hell knows when it’s an angry mob. Later, the Catholic Church reenacted the death of Jesus Christ at the hands of an angry mob as part of their Holy Week celebrations. It’s not clear if the guy playing Jesus and the two other dudes who were brutally executed alongside him in 33 AD were physically nailed to the crosses by their hands. That strive for authenticity might be more of a Philippines thing than a Mexico thing.
