Police: Mexican drug cartel enforcers torture two teenagers in St. Paul
Star Tribune ^ | May 6, 2014 | By PAUL MCENROE

Three enforcers hired by Mexico’s biggest drug cartel flew from Los Angeles to Minnesota last month, kidnapped two local teenagers, and then tortured them for hours at a house in St. Paul in an effort to recover stolen drugs, according to court documents reviewed by the Star Tribune.

Acting under orders from the Sinaloa cartel, the three kidnappers were trying to determine who had stolen 30 pounds of methamphetamine and $200,000 from a stash house on Palace Avenue in St. Paul. Before the episode was over, they had issued death threats against the Minnesota pair and their families, demanding that they find the missing drugs or come up with $300,000 to compensate the cartel.

Two of the three enforcers are now in custody and federal indictments are expected as soon as this week. The case is the latest illustration of the stunning escalation of drug trafficking in Minnesota, which has seen a surge in narcotics dealing, heroin overdoses and drug busts, including a series of raids last month that produced 65 arrests. . .

Give it a few years and the Mexican drug cartels will be performing horror show exhibitions of decapitated heads in US cities just like they do back home.

Don’t worry though, President Hillary will institute sanctions against somebody, or something. She’ll deliver the announcement dressed up like a Mariachi with a interpreter for the deaf behind her translating her speech into Spanish sign langauge.

I was wondering that too, so I read the whole article. One of the suspects is called “Jesus Ramirez”, which is clearly a Somali name.

Interesting story: the Constitution Party “odd fellow” you’re referring to, was a kid from my old neighborhood. Used to play wiffleball at his house and light off fireworks.

Haven’t spoken to him in 20 years, but from his website he seemed to be quite principled.

Still can’t believe it him, whenever I see pics of the ballots on tv...

Remember a couple years ago when the Feds used to deny that the cartels were active in the U.S.? Not so much anymore.
