He was held accountable for not standing by his campaign promises by farmers wielding sticks:

The mayor of a Mexican village is pressing attempted murder charges against locals who tied him to the back of a truck and dragged him through the streets for failing to deliver on an election pledge.

Jorge Luis Escandon Hernandez, who managed to escape without any major injuries, also wants those responsible for the incident on Tuesday to be charged with abduction.

Mexican media reports that the politician was pulled out of his office in the city of Las Margaritas, Chiapas, by farmers from the local Santa Rita El Invernadero village.

According to national newspaper Excelsior, they are unhappy that he has failed to deliver on a campaign promise to repair an important local road.

Video posted by the news website Tabasco Al Minuto shows Mr Hernandez being forcefully dragged from his office by a large group of people.

CCTV footage from further down the street, obtained by the outlet Tinta Fresca Chiapas, then shows him being pulled along by a truck, seemingly attached to the vehicle by a rope around his wrists.

Dozens of police officers were reportedly required to stop the truck, which was followed by scuffles.

Can we give fast-track USA immigration visas to the mob participants? These are the type of immigrants I fully support.

Thats cause all the Mexicans that know how to fix a road are in the US at the Home Depot parking lot near you

This is apparently a legit issue down there, I was in Mexico City last month visiting an RVF member who spent three days looking for a plumber but they’re hard to find.

Send those guys to New Jersey. They legit have signs on the highway that say "your tax dollars at work".

I have actually been in 3rd world countries with better infrastructure than this shithole state.

Oh don't worry, 1st and 3rd world status' respectively are determined on a country wide average so as long as the wealthy live well then you're living in a first world nation, and if you're living in a first world nation then you have nothing to complain about, even if your tap water hasn't been safe to drink for decades.

Meanwhile I think this video is fake. Mexicans don't have the first or second amendment and are therefore incapable of standing up to bad government.

I don't know whether you have been in Latin America or not, but I don't think that this is fake. If it would happen somewhere in Western Europe or the US sure it would be fake, but not in Latin America. And honestly, it happens more often than we might think/know.
