MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- Coordinated attacks in at least eight Mexican cities killed three federal police officers and two soldiers Saturday in what officials are calling an unprecedented onslaught by drug gangs. Federal police stations across Michoacan were attacked throughout Saturday.
Federal police stations across Michoacan were attacked throughout Saturday.
Another 18 federal officers were wounded, the state-run Notimex news agency reported, citing federal police official Rodolfo Cruz Lopez.
The attacks were in retribution for the capture early Saturday of Arnoldo Rueda Medina, a high-ranking member of the drug cartel known as La Familia Michoacana (The Michoacan Family), Notimex reported.
Rueda is considered second in command to the group's two top leaders, Nazario "El Chayo" Moreno González and José " El Chango" de Jesús Méndez Vargas, acting as a "right arm" to Moreno, the secretary of public security said Saturday in a statement.
Among other allegations, he was arrested for his role in designing the hierarchy of the organization, the production of synthetic drugs and movement of marijuana and cocaine to the United States, said Mexico's secretary of public security. Rueda was arrested along with a 17-year-old male who worked for him.

....And the Open Borders whackos want to bring this to America. No thanks....
So if they are openly attacking police stations why doesn’t the army go in and wipe them out? They have to know the major homes of the leaders. Even if the leaders aren’t there the key leaders around them will be.
Corrupt
Yep.
If it’s REALLY a war, then it’s time to act like it.
Coordinated attacks in at least eight Mexican cities. 21 casualties. It’s a country out of control.
Coming soon to left wing controlled big blue cities where illegals are sacred?
The way to beat the drug cartels is to legalize drugs, which should be legal anyway.
Arm your citizens Mexico.
From today’s NAFBPO foreign news report:
US Ambassador nominee speaks. Carlos Pascual, the nominee for US Ambassador to Mexico advised that success in the fight against narcotraffic and organized crime will involve major violence and more deaths in the near future. He indicated that successes against the criminal organizations have elevated their tactics to kidnapping and extortion in order for them to make up for the loss of revenue from drug trafficking. Pascual, an expert in analysis of regional conflicts and “failed states,” recognized that the issue of security encounters “a very complex situation” inasmuch as “the tentacles of organized crime have reached the US from the largest cities to the smallest.” He said the problem is not only on the border between Mexico and the US, but also extends farther south into Guatemala where there is more traffic, more criminal activity and more poverty. He added that the trafficking in drugs is a hemispheric calamity that is rapidly becoming global.

Column. Regarding the LeBaron case, a popular nationally published columnist, Sergio Sarmiento who writes under the name “Jaque mate” writes in part: ”Report crime the authorities tell us. If we don’t report it, it won’t be possible to combat crime. And report it was what Benjamin LeBaron did. He reported the kidnapping of his brother, Eric, 17, after refusing to pay ransom. He reported it again in a public protest this past July 1 in Chihuahua City about the kidnappings that his Mormon community had suffered. The reporting did not serve to put an end to the violence, but rather, on the morning of July 7, an armed group of some twenty thugs violently tore into his home in Galeana. LeBaron was tortured in front of his family. The attackers tried to violate his wife. On hearing the ruckus, a brother-in-law, Luis Widman , came to her assistance and managed at least to prevent the violation, but paid with his life in the effort. The thugs abducted LeBaron and Widman. A couple of hours later their executed bodies were found. What did it serve for the authorities to ask us to report crime? What did it serve to tell us that the government is stronger than any criminal organization? What did it serve to assure us that the Mexican State is not a failed one? The experience of LeBaron underlines the consequences of reporting organized crime in Mexico.”

How far above Obama’s pay grade is this problem with messyco?
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Sorry dude, they’ve been here for years. Up until lately their existence south of the border and here has been benign. No longer.
Mexico is the last country on earth I would want to partner up with. The country is bizarre and "out there". But George Bush had a hard on for the place. He wasn't the only one. The hacks in DC love illegal aliens. They and their staff employ them as nannies, cooks, servants, gardeners and rent a slaves. Whatever I say about Mexico applies to Central America too. We have millions of illegals from holes like Guatemala and El Salvador
