The La Familia cartel declared a truce for the month of January.

They're taking a page out of the Palestinian terrorist playbook. They need time to reload.

“....Palestinian terrorist playbook.”

Wonder who translated Spanish from Arabic?

Were the Mexican drug gangs always this violent or have they learned new tactics from the islamic terrorists?

I don't know. A look through history will show that cutting off heads and hanging them from things is a long-standing tradition in lots of places (Mexico, Palestine, the slavic peninsula, etc...) I know we've been taught all about the noble native Americans, but some of them tribes was nothing but mean sonsabitches with a stoneage serpent mentality that wouldn't think twice about decapitating someone or peeling the skin from the bottoms of their feet.

What's tragic is we in the 'enlightened' west don't understand such things. We don't appreciate what we're dealing with and a lot of lives are going to be needlessly lost until we remember.
