World: Juárez: Amid Violence, A Haven - NYTimes.com/Video

[cyberise]

An amazing lady. I wish I could thank her personally. It's hard to believe that in this world people like this are still around. I live a comfortable life in a the beautiful city of Downey in southern california. But this is where my family is from and it's sad to see. I spent a lot of my childhood there and it was nothing like this. It was a fun place to visit when I would go on vacations from school. My family is from a small coloñia called Satelite. My grandmas house is still there.

[pikemancolley]

i fucking hate these bastard cartels, see how big they are when in front of the allmighty may they rot in hell

[missgarden620]

EL PASO IS DANGEROUS DUMBFUCK ANY CITY NEAR THE BORDER ON AMERICAN TERRITORY OR MEXICAN TERRITORY.

[FarfalinaLOVE]

This lady have plenty of love to share God bless this woman!!!

[r1tual]

legalize drugs and then maybe the violence will dull out and we can help the poverty.

[15anerachoreographer]

I am from Juarez. Born and Raised. Ive been to neighborhoods like that and it is true. They do live like that. I am very blessed. My family are professionals so we have never been in that situation. I left 13 years ago before juarez became what it is. Now I will never again return. I praise the nun. She will be rewarded by Our Lord. in life and in Heaven. God Bless the innocent in Juarez. My heard bleeds and I weep for them.

[SexyVixen1011]

The world today needs more people like her!...what a beautiful woman

[alejandrobarrero]

The US found this: why should we go to Irak to do war, sell guns, make american soldiers die and have unpopular governments. It is much easier to make a war in Mexico. Let`s make the mexican goverment declare war on the mafia. And we'll sell guns to both sides, tanks to both side and we will still get the drugs and sell them in america to happy people who are happy to consume it. Pretty smart.

[zhezzi24]

@alejandrobarrero Goverment is allied whit mafia... I live here and i know how things work.



[alejandrobarrero]

@zhezzi24 I live here too my friend. And of course they are allied with mafia.  On both governmente.

[83121466]

THE best solution for juarez is to close the border build double walls ond electric fence in the american side and bring some troops whit perfect security in the border the drug cartel will have to move to a lees secure location

[MrAviatorpilot]

God bless this lady indeed...she is a true Sister...brave she is...

[mysheliis]

fuck this video juarez is not that bad!!!

yeah bless the lady.....

but they make juarez seem ugly and shit!!!

juarez is the best!!!

juarez bishiiees....

[venomxrevolver]

@mysheliis Thats only because it is bad retard someone dies everyday no one should die we should ship all of the cartels on a island with BIBLES

[gapper213213]

@venomxrevolver ha they'll just trun bibles into weapons =D they'll find a way =)

[RobbingRacistRaza]

@venomxrevolver How do you cut someone's head off with a Bible?

That'd be a hell of a paper cut.

[winterequinox]

Respond to this video... if the white man did not destroy the origanal culture a long time ago they would not have an identity crisis these are holy warriers in their minds

[LRAMIREZ047]

GOD BLESS YOU SISTER DONNA, THANK YOU..........

[dzilla91]

there should me more woman like this

[nowisthetime1010]

Give the citizens a chance. Let them build their own homes. Raze those areas that are inhabitable.

[nowisthetime1010]

This is a shame before God. Even in the worst ghettos in the USA people dont live like this. This country is one of most humane countries it is. Would not mind sending donations to the country, but corruption is rampant.

[lnunez1987]

el gobierno en vez d gastar dinero en policias y soldados deve enfocarse en la gente k mas lo necesita

[cruzrob72]

I love this video ,...the way people help these people,...very inspiring,... i might consider doing this even at the cost of my life.

[rosagorda]

Sister Donna you are a saint you are a hero you are brave.

[hilololomoa]

i got bad feeling that everybody on this video will end up dead.R.I.P

[oscare76]

is´t shame that the mexican president and politicans in chihuahua has a the people like show in this video, is sad for all us , i don´t where is going to come a new president who make something to help and give work to those poor people in my country

[chelayo00]

@oscare76 U KNOW,IM MEXICAN AND WHAT THE MEDIA TRY TO SHOW YOU ITS MOST OF IT POVERTY AND KILLINGS AND YOU KNOW..BUT WHY THEY DONT SHOW THE PRETTY PLACES,THE RICHEST COLONIES OF JUAREZ,THEY DONT SHOW YOU THAT,SO DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE

[RobbingRacistRaza]

@chelayo00 Post some video!

I'm not going anywhere near that place.

[chelayo00]

@RobbingRacistRaza come on you re welcome to come to juarez!!!!

[MrCJthemaster]

THE #1 MOST WORLD DANGEROUS

[MIKILANGEL]

I live in juarez. and im fucking tired of trying to make a change.

Fucken drugs.

[darthfrodo915]

@MIKILANGEL

Its not just the drugs its your shit government, that can't protect it's people. Not to mention your countrymen who don't have the nuts to stand up for themselves, drop a dime and make a difference. The drugs aren't going away. Y'all need to take your cities back, but in fairness lack the courage and resorces to do it.

[mirandadnarim]

Well Im from juarez and the women in the interviw really exagerated on the part the "most of us live like this" in houses made with trash, I mean is not India.they really have it bad overthere. i live in a pretty decent clean house, (being poor doesnt mean you have to be filthy ; and most of us do live in decent homes, but all about the violence that it is TRUE Trust me, like i said, just today 01/28/2010 at 2;06 am on my way back home i saw two persons in different locations killed.

[icecube45]

But are there still jobs? Sounds like averybody that can, flees.

[mirandadnarim]

of corse they flee killing people from left to right, how the hell they wont. you would too.

[icecube45]

Yes of course I would too....so I am wondering if there are still jobs there...or how do they survive.

[mirandadnarim]

well i mean is not like you hear explosions every hours, it is not that bad either, but there are still jobs, less then before but there are still. I have a Flea Market business selling cellphones and thats how i live, pretty decent by the way, i dont complain. but other people have it wors. without exagerating, about 3 to six people knock on my door EVERYDAY to ask for help with food or money or anything cause they lost their jobs, i help them when i can. I'd be nice to receive help form UN

[famouzboi13]

2012

[aledegirona]

if there any thing I could do to help please contact me, my name is Alejandro and I live in Barcelona, what can I do? thanks

[mirandadnarim]

Thanks For your help Alejandro, i;m from juarez, but the best thing you can do is Pray for the Peace of Juarez. Its is crazy in here! i just came home and i saw two assassinations in my way back home, that should tell you how bad it is here.

[CarlosMacMartin]

I am proud to have Mexican roots,but the situation

in Mexico is way out of control.Something needs

to be done.The years 1810 and 1910 were very

bloody indeed.Millions of people were killed and

continue to be killed.That not including all the

human sacrifices in Pre-Columbian times! Jesus!

[aldomaldonado]

wow that woman is a saint. god bless her. i wish there were more people like her

[616OWLOVERLORD]

plus anybody trying to get power will provably get eliminated with in the day by special interests groups from united estates, lets face it i know there are smart people willing to do something but the problem is there is a 93% of ignorant fools that still watch the news they have gotten a dildo worth of pacific ism shoved up their A hole.

[616OWLOVERLORD]

There are many willing to do that job but many keep quiet loving the ignorance that destroys them.

Nadie Vio es el problema ...... El pacifismo es el problema todo es manipulado hasta las noticias

,los arquitectos estan en la gloria.

Todo tipo de violencia y resolucion para ellos es dinero.

[Cobin09]

God bless people like Sister Donna. She is such a brave, inspirational and wise woman.

[MexiEmpleadoCorrupto]

Mexican goverment`s fault.They dont think in its mexican citizens, they just want to have money for them.Never is goint to stop the corruption, until the Mexican goverment is ended.

[mirandadnarim]

That is SO FREAKING TRUE. WE NEED A THIRD REVOLUTIONARY WAR

[MexiEmpleadoCorrupto]

the best clients are USA citizen nod wonder (some ppl there wan to have those clients ) is a war in Juarez some Northamerican came to Mexico to do what they can not do in USA.That is a sad true.

[JesseUrbin]

They should just line them all up and kill them.That's the only way to stop the violence.

[rochafire]

esto hace ver EUA como un paraíso u.u

[aizo1000]

sister donna is inspirational y muy valiente

[RAREEVER]

kikemendez,, y que quieres que publiquen si desde hace 18 años estamos en las noticias mundiales, y siempre hablando de muerte, no solo en juarez esta asi, trabajaba alrededor de Mexico y ya esta asi en muchos estados del pais, pero de ellos no se escucha mucho, se escucha mas de juarez, pero en fin que bueno que la gente de su version y su opinion, respeto la tuya, pero esto es la realidad que vivimos muchas familias, ahora ya no estoy ahi, pero se que esta peor de cuando estaba.

[Bryanua]

im an american i live in juarez i can come and go if i get hungry these poor children cant they have no one to have their best interest at heart not even their own piece of shit gov

[kikemendezrsk]

pazan lo  mas culero de la ciiudadd como no ponen las partes chingonas

[robojony91]

Juarez no siempre fue asi, antes no se mencionaba nada de muertes, es la gente estupida la que lo arruino, por que no se van a otro lugar a hacer sus narcoestupideses, espero que mejore por que es un gran lugar. y no todo juarez es como esas casas de carton que se vieron ahi, yo vivia en una buena casa. viven asi por que quieren

[JLG805]

Now this is so fuken sad! For those racist pigs that come in here and talk trash, This is why Mexicans come over to the USA! The Rich are Rich and The Poor are Poor! No hope! Thats why people get involved in drug smugling and do what they have to do to survive! Answer this have you ever been Hungry? Im From Juarez and you see this all the time! I blame our Mexican Government for this! They are the ones that control everything!

[coreliandude76]

I feel so sorry and ashamed for being a native of such cesspool of a country that it's Mexico. We are a threat to all of our neighbors, including the U.S.A. We are nothing, worthless, a horde of good-for-nothing apes that only think in getting instant self gratification regardless of the well being of others. We are the laughing stock of the Americas. There is no good people here, believe me. Ive been living here most of my life. We are a sad country in deed.

[JesseUrbin]

Brother dont feel ashamed.I'am a Native also.What we need is a strong leader a leader who will take Mexico to it's fullest and make it become the power it's been waiting to be.Mexico is not poor look at the land.From tropical forest's to Dry Desert.Mexico has the resorces but we lack the leadership.One day a man will come or women to save Mexico and rid of the people who give being a Mexican a bad name.When that happen's I will be proud to say "I'am Mexican".

[coreliandude76]

If we are waiting for a leader, then we are even more worthless, because that means we can't think for ourselves, just like a bunch of beasts waiting to be herded. I came to terms with one thing: Failure is imprinted in our culture. We have been a country for almost 200 years, but were others have made achievements for themselves and the whole world in technology, development, and knowledge, we haven't done anything to benefit mankind. Now, if you excuse me, I will kill myself (just kidding).

[pareren27]

The violence in Juarez is one that is known all around the globe these days. The main reason this caos exists is unfortunately because of the evil that lingers in many peoples heart. The only way to defeat these horrible things is with kindness, love and compation. We have stopped loving each other as brothers and sisters, God is the answer. Faith and love is possible in all of us. Teach goodness and forgiveness, let the real power within our soul shine for someone in need.God bless you all

[JesseUrbin]

pareren27.God left that place long ago.God is not going to save people oh no it's up to us.Love,compassion and kindness will not stop them from keeping this ongoing violence.We need a leader who is willing to do all that is ask's for to bring Mexico up in her rightfull place.

[camaeri69]

Que tiene que ver el campestre con lo estan reportando. No estan haciendo un reportaje sobre las casas mas bonitas. Estan dando solo una parte de Juarez pero es la unica noticia que sale de Juarez pura violencia.

[querollo77]

Mexico has more than twice the natural resources than the USA. The Zionist NWO takes it all for themselves through the banking mostly. Watch MONEY MASTERS and ZEITGEIST to see these Jewish NWO at work.

[EMPREZARIO]

y whenb they show juarez they go to the poorest neighborhoods y dont they show campestre, campos eliseos, las misiones stuff like that no only the ugliest parts of juarez huh yea i know they are recognizing that there is poverty in juarez but it is also very rich

[claudmcdw]

Si muy rico pero tambien muy corrupto, mi querido empresarito. soy nacida en juarez pero me siento muy afortunada de no vivir en tu rico juarez

[EMPREZARIO]

mira jauerz tine pobreza i si es muy corrupta pero k kres k estados unidos son santitos o donde sea k vivas en todos lados ai corrupcion aunke no lo kreas i ami me gusta jauerz a pesar de la volencia i si claro hay ciudades mucho mejores k juarez pero ami me gusta i si t sinetes muy afortunada d no vivir en jaurez ta bien por ti no aprecias tu patria i cultura pero dime si tienes un problema con mi rico juarez i k yo viva en el i aki lo resolvemos

[DgosFinnest]

Pero esa cuidad es un infierno. Te pueden violar, oh matar a tu familia. Juarez es un lugar horrible. Deverian destruir a esa cuidad Satanica. Que le abienten una bomba nuclear, Los Americanos. - Argentino-

[fernindrinking]

aun que se mueran todas las putas de argentina, que trabajan en esa ciudad estas mal de la cabeza son las mejores putas del mundo che. esta ciudad si le tiran una bomba atomica la clonan y la fabrican en serie, pero tu pais con 100 soldados britanicos lo vuelve una colonia de la reina che inutil.

[thebabemagnet]

Si pero de perdida ve lo que hace la corrupcion en EEUU. Tenemos calles con pavimento y tenemos muchos beneficios del gobierno. A diferencia de Mexico, de perdida aqui en EEU desimulan la corrupcion y si le invierten para la comunidad. Hay mucha diferencia en la corrupcion y se nota con el simple hecho de la comunidad donde vive uno. Desafortunadamente, los pobres son los que siguen en la ignorancia y causan mas violencia que gente que tiene una educacion...

[Ericzac17]

God Bless this lady.

[DirtCheap]

sad...

[pfranks44]

p  <- its a thumbs down.

[lamouchemorte]

Yeah, too bad "god" has not cared about Mexico for 500 years. Instead of educating these poor people in Juarez, they are given hand outs and more religious false hope. Praying will not stop any of the bullets being fired. Concrete action needs to be taken, otherwise the situation will never be better.

[azzolinid]

False hope is still hope. Sometimes that's what it takes to get through the day when you live in the situation these people do.

[neuroticrobotic]

Indeed, hope is needed in order to get people through the day. That being said, I think there is little justification in creating a sense of hope based on religion rather than one based on education. Do you believe that hope cannot be found outside of god? The Christian faith teaches people to put their fates in the hands of others, whereas education allows people to take their fates into their own hands. False hope will only permit survival, academics may give people a chance at a better life.

[steyzon80]

The Mexican people should form Christian Militias and Vigilanty groups and retake control of their neighborhoods and communities.

Why is the Mexican government not taking care of it's citizens and protecting and caring for them?

The Mexican government no longer cares about its people alive or dead. A government that does not represent its people is an illegitament government and must be removed, forcibly or otherwise.

Kill the Narcos and hold the government accountable.

Viva Los PEPES

[Superterrestrial]

The gangs and the Government have the guns and the power. The people of Juarez are starved and poor. I think what you just said is impossible.

[lamouchemorte]

Some people in Juarez are poor. Please do not speak for a city of 1.4 million people. This video specifically mentions a part of Juarez that is indeed destitute. But there are also ghettos in large American cities like Chicago, Oakland, New York, Los Angeles.

[lamouchemorte]

I have no idea where you are getting your "facts", but they are complete bullshit. To say that 2/3 of the homes in Juarez were built out of waste material is absurd beyond comprehension. As someone who has actually been to Juarez, I can without doubt refute your claim. This is all part of a convenient mythology the serves the needs of people on both sides of the border. Why aren't you just upfront about your conscious intention to spread misinformation with the intent to fuel intolerance?

[Superterrestrial]

Okay..I'm really sorry, but, I got the number from a book which is now outdated.. I'm not making anything up to spread misinformation, nor do I want to fuel anything. Using as many long words as possible doesn't fortify your arguement, either..

My point was that seeing as gangs and government are the ones with the money and the guns an uprising, especially a 'christian militia' as was previously mentioned sounds like an awful idea. Guns need to be seized and the smuggling of them stopped.

[lamouchemorte]

Well, again, your point is wrong. It is simply a false and misleading statement to say that "gangs and government are the ones with the money" (the guns I will concede). The idea that the only money that exists in a city as large and as important as Juarez is in the hands of the government or the drug cartels is just wrong. Mexico is not Afghanistan. Despite corruption and poverty, there is an infrastructure and a business community that exist outside of the drug war.

[lamouchemorte]

Oh and about the "long" words: I am only using the words I find necessary to be understood. Sorry if that offends you somehow.

[Superterrestrial]

I don't care whether you disagree and I'm perfectly aware Mexico isn't Afghanistan. Businessmen starting a revolution with no guns? Does that sound as ridiculous to you as it does to me?..

[lamouchemorte]

It's really not about disagreements. You are just wrong about facts, that's all. Opinions do not make objective reality. Maybe you don't understand that.

[slavebunny4u]

As a kid I used to visit Juarez because of relatives on my mom's side. It actually used to be a pleasure to go over there and visit them. I don't think that would be the case now.

[pprince1976]

I live in El Paso, we use to visit Jaurez almost every weekend..everyone here has an opinon on the violence and of course it is human nature to be scared to go back,I feel for the children who have to do without even more because of the violence i feel for everyone who live there.Because of this story i will find a way of donating what i can to the centers like this one, and i will pray for them daily.

[VolcanicVulva]

Nuns are going to have to get raw in the war on drugs. Personally I think it would be great to see a nun firing at drug traffickers with an AK.

[steyzon80]

First off, God bless Sister Donna. Thank you sister for doing your share of Gods work and trying to make the world, or at least Mexico, a better place to live.

Second: I think Mexicans should really consider forming organised Christian Militias to protect innocent civilians, attack and remove drug cartels/ gangs from neighborhoods and power and control, and hold their own government leaders, local and national, accountable. Use vigilantism and retake the streets for the people.
