The cartel’s Scorpions group said it “decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events” related to the March 3 abduction of four Americans in the border city of Matamoros, according to a letter leaked to the Associated Press by a Tamaulipas state law enforcement source.

The letter also claimed the five members “acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline” when they attacked victims Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams.

It’s almost like the Drug Cartel has ethics.
Actually, the guys they turned in might live longer in prison than if they continued their job.

A lot of US politicians were talking retaliation, Drone strikes, the Pentagon and most likely, the wise guys at the Cartel got ahead of it. Very bad for business. Many people on both sides would love to see them rip to shreds by old Spooky.

Turns out the victims were black, which was not brought out. Was that why they shot them? Did they view them as illegals?

The Gulf Cartel claims these men are responsible for the kidnapping of Americans.

 Patsys that the real criminals paid to take the fall.

The responsible cartel operatives are discovering that attacking royalty carries a steep price.

Exactly! And the Biden regime will say, “they did the right thing.”

What a mess.

“Many people on both sides would love to see them rip to shreds by old Spooky.”

The cartels probably have advanced-enough counter-air to take care of that threat.

This is fairly recent. Mexican airplanes strafing cartel and cartel firing back.

Lee Harvey Oswald declares: “I’M JUST A PATSY”.

There’s a new book out about Jack Ruby, who quickly took care of the patsy before he could tell more.
