Four men found decapitated as Mexico drug war rages

MEXICO CITY - The severed heads of four men were found dumped on a Mexican street on Wednesday with a message accusing a drug gang kingpin of treachery, police said.

Neighbors in the northern city of Culiacan found the men's bodies wrapped in plastic sheets and a blanket, with their heads stuffed into white plastic bags.

An obscenity-laden note scrawled onto a piece of cardboard invited Joaquin "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman -- the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel -- "to see what his stupid acts had caused."

Guzman, who is considered Mexico's most-wanted man, is battling a rival gang led by his one-time ally Arturo Beltran Leyva, whose hitmen reportedly killed one of Guzman's sons in May.

Just a down-trodden culture trying to get a-head.

Mexico needs a “Los Pepes” like the Colombians once had to flush out Pablo Escabar.

This "war" could be ended in just a few days. Through free market capitalism.

Decriminalization plus govt sponsored free supply distribution centers. This will EFFECTIVELY cut off their money supply by reducing the free market price to ZERO. No profit = no business = no more killing.

Only four beheadings?

Certainly they can do much better than that!

Hey guys. Practice makes perfect.

What’s with Mexicans and all beheadings? Can you get anymore ghoulish? I guess they are ensuring there are no witnesses and that might be a heads-up.

“Decriminalization plus govt sponsored free supply distribution centers. This will EFFECTIVELY cut off their money supply by reducing the free market price to ZERO. No profit = no business = no more killing.”

Your proposal worked out well for alcohol now didn't it...how many alcohol related deaths have there been since the repeal of prohibition? Not that I'm against booze but legalizing drugs is not the answer...we've got enough stupidity and drug addiction in America now; we don't need more drug induced stupidity and addiction, thank you! LOL

Nope, if America reeeeeeeeeeely wanted to eliminate the trafficking of illegal drugs; we could start tomorrow. Just ask anyone who's been to Japan or Dubai what happens to those who are busted for drugs!

Hard to cry a river when the bad guys kill four of their own. Also when corrupt police officers are killed. Do you have any doubt these guys at some point were on the take for something? They vast majority of them are down there. Everything is corrupt down there.

“What’s with Mexicans and all beheadings? Can you get anymore ghoulish?”

That’s the whole idea; to intimidate and scare the hell out of anyone and their families who would oppose them. Works for the muzzies.

I believe this puts the official beheading ‘head count’ for Mexico surpassing Iraq.

What a neighbor!

Now, that’s just racist. We won’t tell McCain you said that.

Just ask anyone who's been to Japan or Dubai what happens to those who are busted for drugs!
Drugs are as easy to get in Japan as they are here.
Yes, you can get the death penalty for drug trafficking in Dubai. You can also get the death penalty for trafficking in alcohol. You can also get prison time for kissing in public or calling a member of the royal family a horse's ass. Is that what you want for America?
