Summary:
promoting safety in Guatemala is a fiasco. Crime rate were high, in 1979 and arbitrary executions of local village leaders had become a systematic practice of the Guatemala army. As early as 1980s civil patroller and military commissioners participated in army-ordered kidnappings and arbitrary execution. Everyone was killing everyone. They killed village leaders such as Francisco Lopez. He was killed and his house was set on fire the army selective execution of local leader was not limited to the civil society leaders but it included elected members of the local governments. It was a massacre. This section was about the curroption of the army. The military began a ghetto where it was a base where people lived that was supervised by armed military men.
Quote:
"we are always afraid"
Reaction:
Killing became expected like the sun rising everyday. Population began to decrease. Its surprising when you hear the people who suspose to stop the crimes ; actually increase them. The book its interesting and surprising with scene when you can stop reading. My reactions are just surprised. The quote also reflects the book because of the endless unjustified crimes that causes people to always be scared.
