19 patients killed at Mexican drug rehab facility

At least 30 armed men invaded a drug-treatment center in northern Mexico late Thursday night, killed 19 patients and wounded four others, the state-run Notimex news agency reported Friday.

Witnesses told authorities the armed men marched 23 people outside, lined them up and shot them, Notimex said, citing Director of Police Intelligence Saul Hernandez. The wounded were taken to hospitals under heavy guard, the news agency said.

Shootings at drug-treatment centers have become more common as Mexico's drug cartels and street gangs ramp up their violence

An attack at the El Aviane rehab facility in Ciudad Juarez in September left 17 dead and two wounded.

Another 10 people were killed that same month in an attack on the Anexo de Vida center in Ciudad Juarez.

A similar assault at another Juarez drug facility in March 2009 killed 20 patients.

The Mexicles and Los Aztecas street gangs are two of the most active in Ciudad Juarez and are blamed for much of the violence.

More than 22,000 people have died in drug-related violence since Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the cartels

Wow! I guess the message from the cartels is “Just say YES!”

I guess they take people quitting drugs pretty seriously? Who knew. Exactly how close to our standard of morality concerning human life are the Mexicans anyway? Executing 23 people because they were using a drug rehab center? This seems odd even by Mexican standards.

If only drugs were legal, gangsters wouldn’t kill those trying to get off of drugs. < /sarc >

Rehab centers not paying protection?

These people are more violent than what is coming out of the Mideast.

Hard to believe our military is not on our borders, keeping these people out. Should have been done 10 years ago.

I suspect it has to do with something other than people quitting using their product. There is a never ending supply of users and a couple doezen quitting isn’t really hurting the dealers.

The other day there was an article on a study of the most dangerous places on earth. Out of 149, Mexico was rated 145.

Ciudad Juarez is the most deadly city on earth.
Mexico has more kidnappings, murders of journalists and beheadings than anywhere.

Aww, they’re just doing the executions that Americans won’t do...

Or is that jobs? Did I say “executions”? I meant jobs...Jobs!

Thought so too at first, but then wondered why 30 bad guys line up 23 patients and murder them? More likely someone connected to the clinic did’nt obey their orders. Just guessing.

You don’t see Bud and Coors in a shooting war do you. The 500% markup that’s standard in black markets gets all the wrong people all too greedy.
