Big Whoop of the Day: Man arrested for Juarez murders.

Yes another suspect has been arrested on Tuesday for at least ten of the 400+ women in Ciudad Juarez who have been brutally raped and murdered since 1993.

Edgar Alvarez Cruz is one of many who have been arrested for the crimes; usually the suspects either die in prison or are eventually released due to a lack of evidence. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised if Cruz is the next scapegoat on the list; it was only a few months ago that the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill condemning the murders.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza called the arrest “a major break� in the investigations. I’ll believe that when I see it. (Hard proof, that is. And I’m not holding my breath.)

P.S. I love the fact that this article says only “over 100 women� were killed. Sigh.
