Frank, this attack on Donna and Mike Hill was VERY unusual for this area, and it is a HUGE shock to all of us.
we're thinking it wasn't locals, who are peaceful, friendly Mayas.
it doesn't appear to be a political thing against "gringos" it was a robbery, by those who have nothing, to gain cash and valuables... so, more of a "class crime" than a hate crime.
Donna and Mike were very well-liked by locals, gave good jobs, and helped put local kids through school. they had a real estate business, and were subdividing a property, and building... so there were lots of workers.
the local police have taken all their employees into custody, and it appears the criminals were after the Saturday payroll.
regarding protection, yes we have some, and so were VERY upset to read that it was their OWN gun that was used against them.
*sigh*
