Mexico is awesome
 

The Mexican way to build yourself a fleshlight.

who were the men? random civilians or rival gang members?

:Oh crap:Oh crap

The bodies of 27 people, almost half of them young men who had been decapitated, have been found in Mexico in the space of just a few hours.


Headless Bodies Found


The 14 headless bodies were discovered alongside a 15th intact corpse outside a shopping centre in the popular tourist resort of Acapulco.

Handwritten signs were left with the bodies - a common calling card for the Mexican drug cartels.

A police report said the victims were between 25 and 30 years of age.

"The heads were found in one single place, with the exception of one that was half severed from the body and with an impact of a projectile from a firearm," it said.

Reforma newspaper reported that the men were killed by the Sinaloa cartel, headed by drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, for intruding on the gang's turf.

At least a dozen more bodies were found at several scenes of violence around the city early on Saturday.

Two police officers were shot dead in front of tourists and locals in a major tourist area.

More than 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico's drugs war since the government launched a major military crackdown in 2006.

The bodies in Acapulco are the largest single group of decapitation victims to be found since President Felipe Calderon began his offensive against the drug gangs.

Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, has also been the scene of a bitter turf battle between rival drug gangs.

Two dismembered and skinned bodies were dumped at the entrance of a bar there after Christmas.

Nine decapitated men were found in the state capital of Chilpancingo in 2008.

A group of 12 decapitated bodies were left the same year piled outside the Yucatan state capital of Merida.

This week five bodies were found in the northern state of Chihuahua.

They included a woman who had been tortured and her decapitated head stuffed into a plastic bag and left beside her body.

Yeah, looks like a damn good place to live :disgust

wow ....

It's only a matter of time before this shit spills across the border.

San Diego, El Paso, Tuscon... will not be long until we get involved in a more structured fashion or demand some sort of buffer zone. The cartel leaders are smart enough to keep off US soil, but their minions aren't.

They were almost definitely involved directly in the drug trade, or were family members of those who were. I spend a lot of time in border towns in Texas for my expediting business, and in the last few months I have been in Juarez, Mexico (on the border of El Paso, Tx.), Ciudad De Acuna (on the border of Del Rio), and Nuevo Laredo (on the border of Laredo). Tourism was already getting bad in the border towns when the US started requiring passports to get back into the country from Mexico, but it's now horrendous since people are avoiding even resort towns in Mexico due to the violence hysteria.

I have to say I am stunned how well I am always treated in the Mexican border towns. They are so tourism starved that they treat foreigners like gold, and I never once felt like I wasn't safe. The violence is almost entirely between the drug gangs, and if you use your head and don't go looking for trouble you won't find it. Of course if you walk the streets drunk you are asking to get shaked down by the cops, since public drunkenness by foreigners is really looked down upon in Mexico (go figure), but it's nothing a $20 bill won't get you out of...

Mexico rocks.... never had any trouble there, even with the police. Stay away from places like Juarez and you won't have problems. :2 cents:

Like a nice safe tourist resort in Acapulco:disgust

Awesome is awesome too!

It is unfortunate that more than 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico's drugs war since the government launched a major military crackdown in 2006.

Kids - Don't use drugs!
