CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Police found nine bodies in nine hours in the violence-plagued Mexican border city of Ciudad Juares.
They included a beheaded man and four people shot dead in a car.
A Chihuahua state attorney general's spokesman says the victims died in five incidents Wednesday morning in the city across from El Paso, Texas.
He says the bullet-riddled bodies of three men and one woman, all unidentified, were discovered in a car shortly after midnight. About an hour later, police found the body of a man who was shot repeatedly outside a bar.
The toll rose to six just after sunrise with the discovery of a gunshot victim lying by the side of a road. Later in the morning, police found two bodies, one beheaded, wrapped in a blanket.

How’s that legalized drug trade working out for you, Mexico? Seems like it’s cut crime already...
Must be one of Chicago’s sister cities. Bring on the Olympics!
How can this be when Mexico has very stringent gun control???
Wow, I don’t think that even D.C., Detroit, or New Orleans ever reached that level of violence, not even during the crime wave of the late 1980’s-early 1990’s.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
We’re now enjoying shootouts at the border crossing in San Diego amidst the traffic backed up to go home. Fubn stuff.
Just beautiful — and they keep streaming across our OPEN borders, with their mouths open and hands out — all thanks to a federal government that wants their votes and keeps offering up amnesty to AGAIN hose the American taxpayer for their irresponsible, careless empowerment.
Yes, because illegal drug trade is much safer. If you had any ability to think logically, you’d realize that because drugs are illegal here the profit is huge for drugs.
Sheesh, I am supposed to go to Mexico DF next week on business. It is getting really creepy down there.
The beheadings are a daily occurrence. I don't get it. Have you noticed every time a muslim beheads someone the story goes viral, and they're half way across the globe. Mexico does it every day, right on our non existent border and no one seems to worry.
It’s safer in Mexico City.
Prayers up.
More like Capone and the Chicago gangland wars of the twenties.
Come to mexico, it’s all the fun of mogadishu in your own back yard!

Because drugs are decriminalized in Mexico, it doesn’t matter if they are legalized or not legalized in the US, they are the obvious market for any illegal immigrant to pursue to yield max dollar for the haul he makes coming over the border just to make any money.
When they were illegal in Mexico, we could deal with their legitimate authority to handle the situation internally. Now their problem is our problem, and no, it isn’t because we believe addictive intoxicants need to be controlled, that these crimes are occurring. It is because people will ignore any legitimate authority when they become arrogant and criminal.
Mexico City aint Helsinki, but I like it. The scene out of the plane window when taking off on a clear night is breathtaking.
Well, the drug trade's now legal in Mexico, yet there's 9 bodies on the streets in one day. So of course it's the United State's fault, and not the fault of government which has disarmed their people and made them dependent upon a corrupt police and military force which is unable to break their bonds from the drug cartels, or when they do, they're executed by the drug mobs for it.
Legalizing the drugs did nothing except allow more money to funnel into the same corrupt government. Or more correctly, the decriminalization of drugs. They didn't make it legal, with the ability of addicts to go to their local shop and pick up the high they want, with brand choices. Nope, their pipeline is still the street drug dealer.
So, sure, I'll use my ability to think logically: The decriminalization of the drug trade with no legal market alternative has simply escalated the corruption, and given a huge moral victory to the drug lords who now see the streets as theirs to rule, since they've 'defeated' the government. It's the typical half rump measure that liberals take, coming up with a 'brilliant' idea without thinking it through. Seems like you're of the opinion that there shouldn't be any laws against hard drugs - and perhaps you're right. But my opinion is that if you're going to make them legal, then make them legal - allow suits for contaminated drugs, allow market selling of the product, let the free market set the price, and competition work to keep it down.
The makers of Viagra can't wait to show us what they can do with a free hand, and if we make drugs legal, that's more the type of company I'd want supplying my drugs, as they actually have something to lose, rather the street gangs who have demonstrated exactly how high human life is valued - less than a dog.
Hokay, Numero Diez, why you miss your turn?
