BARTOW, Fla. (AP) - Authorities in central Florida have a man in custody they say stabbed a friend to death and then drank his blood.
Mauricio Mendez Lopez is accused of killing Macario Cruz in a house they shared in Bartow.
Police said they believe Lopez stabbed Cruz to death because he was having an affair with his sister-in-law, Mariella Mendez. Lopez is the uncle of Mendez and Cruz's wife.
A police report shows the men had an argument in which Lopez struck Cruz in the face with a 15-pound dumb bell. He then allegedly threatened to kill them both unless the relationship ended.
Authorities say Lopez returned later and stabbed Cruz to death. Mariella Mendez told police Lopez left with a plastic cup in his hand that appeared to hold blood. She said he drank from the cup in a strange ritual from their native Mexico.
Lopez was taken into custody late Wednesday and is in the Polk County Jail with no bond.
According to several published reports all of the adults in the home are illegal immigrants.
“strange ritual from their native Mexico”
Leave that stuff back in Mexico!
Sound just like the type of potential RAT voter that Pelosi and Reid would invite to lunch?
Now the taxpayers get to spend 7 figures as this devoid goes through the court system then in to the prison system.
This absolutely worthless, valueless piece of trash who would never do anything positive for this country now gets a free ride for life.
vampire values don’t end at the Transylvania border.
And stay there with it!
Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do.
That’s pretty weird. I’ve never heard of the mexican ritual of drinking human blood. Sounds like this guy was just signal-20.
Lovely people, just lovely. Isn’t this the kind of culture we want to bring into the US?

Strictly speaking, I suspect it’s more of an Aztec or Mayan thing than a “Mexican” thing....
Yes, let's CELEBRATE “cultural diversity”.
Friends don’t drink friends blood (on my planet).
Take it back to the turd world.
Heck STAY IN MEXICO!
This one is ILLEGAL!
“Lopez left with a plastic cup in his hand that appeared to hold blood. She said he drank from the cup in a strange ritual from their native Mexico. “
Isn’t cultural diversity grand?
Yes, let’s keep those borders WIDE OPEN so we have more “diversity”.
Santa Muerto.
IT’s a drug culture/aztec/mayan/catholic thing that’s all the rage in Mexico and the drug cartel subculture here.

You may need a sensitivity training course, if you make fun of this CULTURAL DIFFERENCE. We need to respect ALL cultures.
LOL!!!
“IT’s a drug culture/aztec/mayan/catholic thing that’s all the rage in Mexico and the drug cartel subculture here.”
You’re kidding me - a Catholic thing?
I think we should make a concerted effort to refer to these people as “invaders” or “occupiers”.
These illegals and their Mexican pro-illegal alien supporters, spray painted, "Burn this racist city to the ground" and placed a toilet seat on Old Glory as they walked all over our flag....
