SNIPPET: "MEXICO CITY – The deputy police chief in the northern Mexican border city of Nogales was killed along with his bodyguard, Sonora state police said Friday.
Adalberto Padilla and bodyguard Ivan Sepulveda were shot Thursday night while traveling in a police vehicle. The assailants were described as men inside an SUV who opened fire with AK-47 assault rifles, the weapon of choice for Mexico’s drug cartels.
A 16-year-old bystander was wounded during the attack in the city just across the border from Nogales, Arizona."
SNIPPET: "In other drug-related violence, a local police chief and his brother were found decapitated in the northern state of Nuevo Leon, bordering Texas.
The Agualeguas municipal chief and his brother were discovered after state police received a telephone call early Friday about a patrol vehicle abandoned near a village more than 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon’s capital, state Attorney General Alejandro Garza y Garza said.
The killers used the victims’ blood to paint the patrol vehicle with the initials “CDG,” signifying Cartel del Golfo, or Gulf cartel, one of Mexico’s most powerful drug outfits."

It has to be as we've been told over and over and over, that:
These are good, hard working people.
Mexicans are very religious and law abiding.
These are all Gods children.and my fave...
Family Values Don't Stop At The Rio Grande!
So 1) someone has been fibbing to us, or 2) this article is a lie.
Alex, I'll take #1 for $500 dollars. 
However it got the mafia out of the booze business.
Legalize.
Are you referring to the oysters? Do you have to be a psycho be like oyster shooters?
The War on Drugs goes hand in glove with the War on Poverty. Both are failed big government boondoggles. Both are based on an expansive view of federal power under the Constitution.
If you support the constitutionality of fedgov in its nationwide prohibition, then you have NO constitutional basis to oppose fedgov control of health care, education, welfare, etc.
So tell us... do you think such uses of the Commerce Clause as noted above is in keeping with its original understanding?
Ditto...
I certainly don’t have faith that OUR government will protect us.
well just damn...another Democrat voter bits the dust!
Guess we'll have to start calling them Mexlims or Muslicans if this keeps up.
Anyone willing to be a policeman (and especially a police chief) in Mexico today deserves a medal for bravery.

Drug warriors don’t like to hear it, and many of them may never face the truth, but drug prohibition is the cause of the violence. Just like the violence that accompanied alcohol prohibition stopped when that was repealed and companies like Coors, Miller, Seagram, etc., took over from thugs like Al Capone, Joe Kennedy, etc. There are no liquor or beer wars any more.
All due respect we haven’t seen BAD yet friend...
Hope yer well.
Cowboy up as it IS comin !
Stay safe ...
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
The national guard and/or the military should have base camps set up along the southern borders. How many Americans already have been victims of violent illegal criminals? Too many and our so-called Reps in DC are complicit in these tragedies.
Latin America has a long history of government ‘death squads’ who were used to find and ‘disappear’ rebels.
Beleive it or not, our nearest neighbor Mexico also has something similar in its violent history.
If the government can get something like that extra-judicial executios going, without being infiltrated by the cartels using money and threats, that’s about the only way I can see this cartel inspired violence against the State can be stopped.
You know you’re in a rough part of town when the cops have bodyguards.
I hate to say this but you are right. It will get worse if amnesty for illegals gets passed. And it is bad enough now.
