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.

All cultures have idiosyncracies. Who are we to judge?
Coming soon to a southern US city near YOU!
Coming to a Sanctuary City near you !
Just a down-trodden culture trying to get a-head.
those valuable “family values” (Los Corleones)
WOW!...GRRREAT minds!
Mexico needs a “Los Pepes” like the Colombians once had to flush out Pablo Escabar.
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 4?
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.
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!
Thankfully I trust Barrack Obama and John McCain to secure our borders.
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.
Geez, some people will do anything to get ahead.
Why are people being beheaded? Are these people connected with Islam too? Just curious why the beheading....
“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.
Those guys will never be the head of their gang.
