Mexican Emo War spreads to the border: Incidents in Juarez and Tijuana
TDS Editors
Uh-oh.
A confrontation in the upscale Las Misiones mall between teenage cliques of “emos” and “punks” on Wednesday night has Juárez police officials stepping in and asking for tolerance.
The mall incident, which police said might have been sparked by an exchange of words, might have been a copycat of highly publicized attacks on emos by mobs in Queretaro and Mexico City.
Juárez public safety secretary Guillermo Prieto Quintana in a news statement on Thursday said the police anti-gang unit would increase patrols at teen hangouts to discourage problems.
Prieto Quintana said that Mexico’s northern border has traditionally been tolerant of all types of expressions, and he urged teens to respect others’ right to self-expression.

I'm a mexican former Punk and Emo musician and I feel really embarrased about what's happening and the comments favoring hate. I'm worried about the public image Mexican youth is getting from this. There's always been homophobia and discrimination, but this is ridiculous, it's just an act of violence against diversity, it oposses the Punk philosophy and nature, Emos are setting quite a example by not responding to violence, it's ironic Emos' conduct is more punk related than those Nazis posing as militant diehard punks. Metalheads and punks are jealous cause they have to jackoff in front of the tv while emos are getting all the cute young girls. ¡Viva México cabrones!
As u can tell by my user name i am Emo.I am not taking sides with emos or punks what i have to say is sticking up for the Emos and Punks.Personaly i think all this is bull crap.

Labeling yourself an "emo" only proves you're a trendy kid who watches a lot of mtv. Anyway, this is way retarded and I agree that this is so not what Punk's supposed to be.
