The Posse Deals Out Their Own Justice

Alejandro, his wife and four kids lived peacefully in squatter's village in their small one room shack. Their house was made from old tarps, card board and the few pieces of wood and metal roofing panels that Alejandro had been able to find at the city dump. The house sat at the edge of a stream bed that snaked down from the mountains providing a cool place for Alejandro's children to cool off from the tropical heat. On the other side of the stream was another village, almost of equal poverty. One day a large group of people from from that village crossed the stream and made their way straight for Alejandro's house.
