As stated in the first article Cortina talks about the Anglo community using fear as a weapon. He talks about them bringing lawyers ,and the anglo community threatening the Mexican Texans to burn their homes and ranches or hang to death. Do to fear many Mexican Texans would flee, leaving a free path for the Anglo to take away the property from the original owners.
The Anglo editor seemed very biased intending to make cortina look like he is no better. The editor compares him to be a thieve as well, that way readers would not feel compassion toward Cortina and his cause.Throughout article two Cortina is described by the editor as a villain and a coward man who had no mercy when he held the prisoners.
