  • Truck Drivers Rams Police Line at Baja California Gasoline Protest

    So I guess the Mexican gov raised the price of gas 20% and people are freaking out. Why didn't they just gradually increase-fuck them like they do to us from time to time?



    At least seven police officers were injured when a truck driver rammed police lines at a demonstration over rising gas prices in the Baja California city of Rosarito.

    Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto took to Twitter to condemn the violence at the Rosarito protest. Journalist Eligio Hernandez captured footage of the yellow pickup truck crashing into officers guarding a Pemex facility and later clashes between police and protesters that resulted in more than 40 arrests, according to Mexican news website Animal Politico.


    Protesters were blockading Mexico’s state-owned oil company Pemex’s refinery in Rosarito as part of a week of nationwide demonstrations over the Mexican government’s decision to increase the price of gasoline by 20 percent on January 1. NBC San Diego reported that the protests and blockades had led to fuel shortages in Baja California and some Mexican drivers crossing the border to refuel.

      I think the headline is a bid misleading. The Mexican govt is removing price controls on fuel by 86'ing subsidies.

        If they caught the person in that truck I bet they didn't make it to the jail alive.
