Molotov Cocktails Fly as Violent Protests Over Missing Students Rage in Mexico -- VICE
Protests across Mexico turned violent on Thursday as crowds clashed with police, throwing Molotov cocktails and burning an effigy of President Enrique Peña Nieto in opposition to his government's handling of the apparent massacre of 43 teaching students from Guerrero state.
The protests devolved into riots near a large public square called the Zocalo in Mexico City located outside of the National Palace, the doorway of which was burned in riots two weeks ago.
The protests were peaceful at first but grew violent once the march reached the Zocalo and the protesters were met by riot police. Another 300 protesters fought with police near the near Mexico City's airport. No one was hurt in Thursday's protests. Several marches were held across the country, demanding answers in the case of the missing students.
