Jorge Sánchez appears 12-feet tall as he sits across from me in the patio of his breezeblock-home near the coast of Veracruz; he hits me with his pure courage.
Bigger than any murder is the climate that allows it, as exemplified by your words:
"A hired thug involved in the kidnapping was arrested and confessed but seven years later, he still hasn’t been sentenced. Two police officers were each given 25 years, but this was later reduced to six, so they are out. The mayor, who Jorge believes was key in ordering the hit, has been indicted but still roams free."
Yes, indeed the impunity is so terrible. However, I see a problem with saying we need to fight impunity is where do you start when Mexico has like 300,000 unsolved murders? It seems that perhaps first it just needs basic order, like control of roads and city centers. But let's see. Best again Mike!
Yeah, the president here said he would clean corruption like the stairs - from the top down - but it feels dirty still. However, we need positivity and I guess murders are solved one at a time.

I can't clean a whole house simultaneously. I start with the dishes or the kitchen floor.

Some stairs are better cleaned by hand than an old mop.
