earlier this week benjamin lebaron was dragged from his home and killed.h the recent drug violence crippling the country, they suffer along with them. >> gary, it seems obvious that this killing was some sort of message to this community that has been fighting back. what's the reaction in the community? are they backing down? >> reporter: well, you're right, it was a message. there was a note found near the bodies that said, we are very angry that 25 of our people were arrested following these killings arrested for drug violations. they said don't do it again. it was a warning clearly, but the members of this town said they will not back down. they admit they're scared and don't have arms. mexican weapons laws are strict, so they don't have guns to protect themselves. that worries them. they say they will continue to fight and make an issue about this. at the least they want more protection from the state government of chihuahua and the national government out of mexico city. >> thanks. tell us what you think about this story. you can join the live chat at
