Zacatecas state in central Mexico is turning into the latest battleground between Mexico’s ever-multiplying number of criminal gangs.
One small community has felt the brunt of the fight in the past two months.
Al Jazeera’s John Holman reports from Las Ermeetas, Mexico.

It's unfortunate that people have to live in fear. What's even worst is that the cartels way over power the government. The cartels also have more people in them than the government has soldiers.
I feel for sorry for you .

It’s quite simple. There are a lot of poor people in Mexico and there is a lot of junkies in the USA. Drugs flow cause the need for income is high south, and the demand for narcotics is insane in the north. it’s a fu”kin” mental asylum.
My parents live in this state horrible place I lived there for a year different world it’s so sad.
It was about time they started going north. The south of Mexico was getting all the action. It’s sad!
AMLO = submissive servant of the American Cartel
Zacatecas produces Silver and Gold worshiped by the je… w hebrews.
To all Latino people living here in the US, learn from the people of Mexico and other fail states. Do not give up your 2nd Amendment Rights. Do not vote to eliminate guns in this country. No hagan caso al Democrata. Son mentirosos. Mis vis abuelos son de Zacatecas, Zac.

If good civilians were armed this war on cartels would be over.
