Backstory: 3 or so years back in Mexico there were 2 electricity companies controlled by the government. One of them managing the center area of the country, until 2010, when the government decided they were no longer useful (union is at fault).

All employees were fired instantly and the company was terminated. Government gave them a severance package and they didn't accept it, they wanted their jobs and benefits back, so they went in some sort of strike.

That particular strike has been going on until now, for some reason things got heated up at one of the picket lines and someone decided they should have a "hero". From that point I am not sure how they went with the idea to bring a luchador into the mix, but there you have it, only in Mexico.

Of course this is a very succinct version of the facts!

The company and the union were corrupt as fuck.

...and the government and the police. I cannot feel safe in my own country because all the figures of authority are completely unreliable.

No se, la verdad siento que no falta nada para que el gobierno se involucre tanto con el narco que ya no podamos ver la diferencia... no se que va a pasar con las elecciones...

Bueno, lo tienes que separar.

Los Gob. de los Estados son el gran problema, corruptos y no hay diferencia entre el narco y ellos. Salvo algunas excepciones todas las policias estan hasta el copete infiltradas.

Y el unico esfuerzo serio que se ha hecho, la gente no lo quiere y prefiere votar el regreso del PRI a los pinos, basados en el look fisico de un candidato.

Es una ridiculez.

Damn, OP, you really outdid yourself on this one. Even the top comment is a repost.

What I like best is the guy on the far left. He's clearly having the time of his life.

[–]MonotonousMan 2 points3 points ago

I laughed at that guy as well haha, he's definitely way more into this than Mr. Serious blowing off a round at Moto-Miguel.

Judging by the rubber bullet headed his way, I'm thinking someone's going to start having a really bad day...

Ok, but either way, it's not like he's about to get beaten about the face, breast, chest, neck and head with fluffy stuffed bunnies. :)

Everybody involved in this tableau of psychotic, unreasonable badassery has to know that there will never be a more awesome moment in their lives. Seriously, just look at the charging cop in the upper left. If he ever does reach The Rioting Motorcycle Luchadore (dibs on the name for my firstborn), there's no way in hell that he's going to tackle and detain the bastard. He's either going to ask for his autograph or clasp his hands together and, with heartfelt earnestness glimmering in his wet eyes, whisper, "Take me with you."

Riding a motorcycle with no helmet is very dangerous, he might get hurt.

Those stupid masks don't protect against bean-bag rounds, I'd bet.
