Mexican Crook:Gangsters Arrange Fights to the Death

Houston Chronicle ^ | 6/13/2011 | Dane Shiller

The elderly are killed. Young women are raped. And able-bodied men are given hammers, machetes and sticks and forced to fight to the death.

In one of the most chilling revelations yet about the violence in Mexico, a drug cartel-connected trafficker claims fellow gangsters have kidnapped highway bus passengers and forced them into gladiatorlike fights to groom fresh assassins.

In an in-person interview arranged by intermediaries on the condition that neither his name nor the location of his Texas visit be published, the trafficker also admitted to helping push cocaine worth $5 million to $10 million a month into the United States.

IF you think this sounds farfetched, then you don't know how far Mexico has gone down the road to mindless violence by drug traffickers.

Shootouts in the streets between army and narco gangs or the police and drug gangs are becoming common in cities along the Texas border. As this gangster admits, it is the Wild West.

Coming soon to an Amexican barrio near you, thanks to our open border traitors.

Not surprising. As the presence of God leaves us, old evils are making a comeback.

When my neighbors are having a wild, drunken blow-out, with loud music, fist-fights in the backyard and broken glass all over the place, I am glad I have a sturdy fence.

It’s a shame Texas can’t say the same thing.

[Joe Brower]

Ah, more happy news from our "friendly neighbor to the South"...

BTW, Travis, "Castigo Cay" is definitely one fun and worthwhile read. Your writing style has definitely grown with each new book. Well done!

[Travis McGee]

It’s hard to compare them, since first person POV is so different in pacing and exposition.

I’m staying with these Dan Kilmer books for a while.

There’s a movie, you can watch on Netflix...I can’t remember the spanish word, but it means, “With no name” or “He has no name.”

I watched that movie and actually thought the characters were real...I’m still having night mares about it.

And these are the guys that the pro-drug crowd is urging us to “reach an agreement with.” What they don’t understand is that these criminal bands are essentially no different from the Mafia writ large and having free reign in a place where the civil government is no longer able to enforce order or protect the citizens.

Even if drug trafficking were legal, they’d continue to be violent and brutal and control other aspects of the economy, just as the Mafia does; and of course, being legitimized as fine upstanding citizens whose business is drug trafficking certainly won’t hurt them. Look for a state that is completely controlled by criminal bands, as was (and still is) the case in parts of Italy. Those places have desperate poverty and ignorance and will never improve as long as the criminal elements continue to dominate them.

One of the problems with Mexico, also, is the influence of the radical left, which is often tied in with the drug gangs because the left uses drug money for financing the “revolution.” And this is not only Chiapas-style radicals; the effect of the left-wing parties and civil service unions on Mexico’s civilian government officials, including the police, has been terrible and has vastly weakened Mexico’s ability to respond to the criminals and has also encouraged the corruption that permitted the situation to get out of hand in the first place.

“In an in-person interview arranged by intermediaries on the condition that neither his name nor the location of his Texas visit be published..”

Hey, the Houston Barnacle is a big fan of wetbacks invading our state, so they will certainly cover the @$$ of the “informant”. The Commie publication has no credibility whatsoever, and are therefore complicit in criminal behavior. The Barnacle is in cahoots with the “intermediaries.” What a useless piece of garbage.

Of course if this were an article about Sarah Palin, then everything would be an open book.

Let’s have a sanctuary city for just the drug “lords”!

They could move in the homes of all the politicians that voted to have their city a sanctuary city. I would invite them to live in the homes of all who kowtow to LaRaza and call illegals “immigrants”

[mo]

didn’t we invade a middle-eastern country 4000mi away for being similarly run by thugs?

[Eric Blair 2084]

They are just providing the entertainment that Americans, Caligula and the WWE can’t do.

You are a xenophobe.

[wildbill]

Watch that Xenophobe stuff, Eric. A xenophobe is one who is unduly fearful of foreigners.

I’m just a Texan. We ain’t unduly fearful of no foreigners—nor Yankees neither—we just hate ‘em all and let Jesus sort out the good ones on Judgement Day.

[Eric Blair 2084]

I was joking.

I’m an equal opportunity bigot...I don’t like anyone.:-)

[wildbill]

My kind of guy—maybe.
