Mexico emo wars

A couple days ago, I ran into a story about "emo" kids being attacked in Mexico. The story has developed over the past few days and all the videos I've seen are in Spanish, but from what I've read and seen, these are full blown attacks on "emo" kids. It's crazy that these kids are being physically harmed because of the way they look and the music they listen to. I know it's happened to other sub-cultures, especially those in the punk scene, but still seeing this in the 21st century boggles my mind.

Absolutepunk.net
had a thread about the story and I think it's worth checking out what other people had to say about these attacks.
