Mexico Arrests 12-Year-Old Cartel Hitman
Friends of Ours ^ | 11/15/10 | Friends of Ours

Posted on 11/15/2010 5:38:46 AM PST by AtlasStalled

In Mexico authorities have arrested a twelve-year-old boy whom they believe is responsible for the torture and murder of dozens as reported by Virginia Wheeler for The Sun: "His trademark involves cutting victims' throats so violently that their heads are left hanging by a thread." The suspect, known as El Ponchis or The Cloak, is under the command of Julio Jesus Radilla who allegedly is in charge of the Zetas-aligned South Pacific Drug Cartel in the central state of Morelos which is engaged in a turf battle with La Familia, and he "works with a group of women called the Chavelas – some believed to be his sisters" as earlier reported by Virginia Wheeler for The Sun. The juvie apparently is an exhibitionist, and he came to the attention of authorities after videos surfaced online which showed him engaged in his gruesome work as reported by Sarah Gordon for Sky News.

The use of teenagers as killers by the drug cartels is common in Mexico, and the kids are known as "narco juniors" as reported by Lizbeth Diaz for Reuters: "Mexican teenagers as young as 15 are killing rivals for a few hundred dollars in a brutal drug war on the U.S. border that is increasingly sucking in young people." The use of child soldiers extends north of the border as well. Los Zetas has recruited U.S. teenagers as young as 13 years old to carry out enforcement hits as reported by Ed Lavandera for CNN.

Friend of mine’s M113 got hit by an RPG fired by a kid that looked about 12 years old. Friend managed to kill him before he got off a 2nd shot (and before friend collapsed from his wounds) so no way to tell for sure how old. I always thought special treatment for young criminals was silly. A murder victim is just as dead if a 12 yo kills them as if 25 yo kills them.

I assume you are talking about in Afghanistan?

I still remember when they arrested an 8 year old for murdering his dad in the US and when they arrested a 9 year old drug dealer in Dallas, Texas and he was armed with a loaded gun.

I think he’s talking about Vietnam where it was common for the VC to “recruit” kids.

If the United States doesn't get its act together--and soon--the U.S. is going to be overrun with "narco-juniors" and nowhere in the U.S.A. will be safe. And these "kids" will kill you for a lot less than a few hundred dollars.

The American people had better wake up fast!

Decadence has infected the U.S.A. like the black plague, and it threatens to be far more deadly.

Economic collapse, bedbugs, unsanitary drinking water, and "narco-juniors" are just the beginning. Things will get so much worse that most Americans cannot even imagine the horrors--if Americans don't wake up and rid themselves of "Liberalism", which is Decadence.

It is high time that Mexico simply declare that it is in a state of civil war so that any of these terrorists can simply be shot on sight.

Unfortunately, I think that you’re correct.

And just as unfortunately, it will occur just like the old story of the frog sitting in a pot of slowly heating water.

The effects you mentioned will occur slowly, slowly enough that the citizenry won’t take much notice until it’s way too late.

What outrages us today will get a shrug of the shoulders 10 years from now...unless another Reagan appears on the scene, and soon.

Everything you said is true. I used to think I was of about average intelligence. Now I know I’m some sort of genius or something. Don’t you feel the same way? What’s happening is as clear as crystal, but millions of people can’t comprehend it. It’s scary. I feel like Cassandra. If you and I can see it, why can’t everyone else? Maybe we’re geniuses—but there’s no comfort in knowing that the world is populated with morons!

No hope for this kid. That hardened by 12?

He’s a lost cause.

I hear you. I can imagine some historian writing a couple of hundred years from now: “Except for the members of an obscure website known as Free Republic, the collapse of the Unitied States came as a complete surprise to everyone.”

I can read that as though it were on a page before me.

But we have a distinct advantage: Though we're outnumbered, we're smarter than they are and will figure out ways to prevail. I'm sure you've been thinking and planning for a long time. I have too. Our families will be safe when The Morons are wondering what hit them and are strangling one another for scraps of bread.

I deeply regret their unwillingness to listen to us--that they are bringing disaster upon themselves--and that there's nothing that we can to to help them--but, if we can't save them from their folly and stupidity, we can save our families and ourselves and those who will listen to us.

Look for international lawlessness, especially against the west, to increase dramatically.

Shackled by self-imposed political correctness to an astounding degree, and enforced by a Keystone Kop administration, the average criminal has little to fear.

Of course, the law-abiding citizen suffers a new outrage every day. We pose no threat, so we’ve become the new targets of opportunity for our new masters in DC.

I think your right SB but the ones who cannot understand it are the leaders of this country. Maybe because most of them grew up wealthy in guarded neighborhoods are have never had to live in an the average neighborhood that is the same as living in a jungle where it is the survival of the fittest.
