"Drug gang violence has since surged, claiming more than 13,500 lives, including more than 1,000 police officers."

Do we have a WALL between that stinkhole and El Paso yet? Eeeee...

[ßuddaßudd]

Tell BO it wasnt my gun.

It’s great having an undefended border with a failed state.

That’s what you get for swearing off drugs, huh?

This is the second time I know of that this has happened. Last winter, a guy I know was visiting Juarez to check on some property his family owns there, and there was a cartel raid on a drug rehab clinic down the street from where he was. He said the emergency medical people were afraid to go there to help the injured. The ambulance stopped a block away. Several people were dead. He beat it back to El Paso, and I don’t blame him.

Why rehab centers?

That question leads me to two possible answers.

1. One of the rehabilitants knew too much.

2. A message to others that its dangerous to deprive a drug cartel of their hard earned money.

Absolutely scary that the drug goons would raid and kill people in a drug rehab center.

Mexico is truly a Third World feces-hole.

The best thing the US could do is shut down and seal the border, deport all Mexican illegals, execute Mexican drug cartel people in prisons in the US, and abrogate NAFTA.

We need to stop rewarding Mexico with economic goodies when their drug violence is a major threat to this nation

When the drug cartels and their supporters in government (both Mexico and US) can no longer bring in revenue....they will eventually be weakened

"Gunmen broke into a drug rehabilitation center, lined people against a wall and shot 17 dead in a particularly bloody day in Mexico's relentless drug war."

They can't have anyone kicking nasty drug addictions and not being contributors now can they...

[UCFRoadWarrior]

2..... I bet it is more of your #2....people in drug rehab cost the Mexi-Cartels and their government sponsors big money.

Next on the list are American drug rehab centers.

Congratulations! Your treatment has been successful and you are guaranteed to never use drugs again.

[Lazamataz]

I’m leaning towards BOTH answers. A rehabilitation patient knew something that would damage them, but they figured, ‘While we’re here, let’s scare others who wish to get clean.’

[TADSLOS]

Mexican drug lord version of a boycott.

[cripplecreek]

Probably right and there are probably other answers we haven’t thought of as well.
