A photo today shows that the police are using slingshots instead of guns to defend themselves from the demonstrators. From the useless media coverage of Mexico, I was unaware of this.
 
"Mexico's private Council on Tourism (CPTM -- at least, I think it's private) has instructed Mexican travel agents around the world to discourage tourist visits to Oaxaca de Juarez (the capitol city)"
2 tour buses full of French and German tourists were reportedly assaulted.
 
"Oaxaca, Mexico: Bradley Will, American reporter, shot from above at close range then executed at point blank range 15 minutes later... His body was abandoned in the back of a pickup left outside the amphitheater of the State Attorney General."
 
The best hotel, El Camino Real, has been attacked by battering ram and firebombs and is now closed.
 
The incomplete list of buildings now badly damaged or destroyed:

The State Courts building
Teatro Benito Juarez
The Santo Domingo esplanade and garden
4 hotels
Guelaguetza Travel Agency and more than a dozen shops and restaurants
