MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Police found a woman's decapitated body in a Mexican border city on Saturday, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.

The gruesome killing may be the third so far this month in which people in Nuevo Laredo were killed by a drug cartel for what they said on the internet.

It shows us what evil drugs, and it’s filthy money, can cause.

We MUST secure our borders - more double fencing, technology, whatever it takes!

making drugs legal would stop all crime and we would all have ponies, too

Brilliant.

So all it would take for you to torture, murder and decapitate an innocent person is enough cash.

Yeah, but I tell ya, I came from a tough neighborhood. I mean, my neighborhood was so tough, in my High School, after we sacked the quarterback, we went after his family!

People who want to legalize drugs like meth should be locked up in a room with a bunch of meth or coke heads for an hour. I think it would change their minds.

It’s a tempting solution to grasp at, but is not clearly thought through. Street crime would go up, not down, because now you would have even more psychopaths out there that cannot support themselves, and need to find the money for guns, bling, street rides,and all the other necessities of life for gang-bangers and thugs.

Thugs with brains rotting away that need to find money but can’t do so selling drugs anymore so what else is there? Carjacking; purse snatching; kidnapping; home invasion; prostitution. Thugs that can’t reason - that don’t care if they die but more importantly if others will also.

If you want to walk around in a society of truly insane people legalize meth and coke. And if you have a CCW permit, great, but how about your kids and your parents? Who’s going to protect them from these zombies?

Unicorns poop rainbow skittles. I’m too lazy too clean up that mess. An FXDF with mid controls and a windshield is my preference. Nearly as unobtainable as a unicorn too.

I'm fine with your war on drugs if you give me my Constitutional rights back.

Freedom from asset forfeiture.

The right to buy sudafed when I need it.

You don't believe in Constitutional rights though, do you?

I hate druggies. I hate them so much I want to give them so much junk they die ASAP and leave the rest of us in peace.

I was just repeating your argument in a different way.
It’s all the money’s fault. That was your assertion was it not?

My assertion was that making drugs illegal makes them so lucrative that the criminals who deal in them literally wind up with more money for weapons than their governments.

Decriminalizing them removes the money and therefore removes the weapons.

But if you like having drug cartels with more weapons than their governments, you got it.

Chords and music Shel Silverstein, new verse Andrew McKee

A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen
They’d run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, “Stand back, I’m going to make it rain”
He says, “Hey Noah, I’ll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
Don’t you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
Hey Lord,

I’ve got green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn
I just can’t find no unicorns”

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can’t wait for no unicorns”

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day

You’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
You’re never gonna see no unicorns

Ah Unicorns! Can’t live with ‘em and you can’t shoot ‘em.

” I want to give them so much junk they die ASAP and leave the rest of us in peace.”

Yeah, well, they really don’t give a crap what you want.
It’s very naive to think they’ll just lock themselves up somewhere and shoot up until they die. That’s not the way it works. Doesn’t now, and won’t if hard drugs were legalized.

Mexico has virtually become a narcostate.

Let the people of Mexico have their guns again. Let them have their civil war and kill all the corrupt government people and narcos.
Solution to the problem as I see it.

Deport the illegals and build an 18 foot wall topped with razor wire and motions sensors.

Unemployment and crime would drop dramatically and our the grades of school children would also improve because the kids of illegal’s use up a lot of class time because they don’t speak English.

There would be numerous other benefits, yet our politicians want the Latino vote, so they won’t do it.

The US can't even stop distributors of counterfeit cigarettes, or cigarettes marked with counterfeit tax stamps, and there the profit is relatively small compared to the supposed profits in illegal drug trade.

But with many departments effectively abandoning any and all property crime investigations, they've already opened up the barn doors to a lot of meth heads to openly rummage through homes at their leisure. After all, it is unlikely that anyone's going to show up, take fingerprints, and even more unlikely to actually compare those fingerprints to prints on file.

I understand how desperate the government of Mexico became, and why they took the action they did, and indeed, it was targeted at 'soft' drugs, but once basic police work goes out the window, you simply enable criminals to escalate to a higher level. It's very long been the case of Mexico police ignoring pretty much all property crimes, and their escalation might be a window into our own future if we continue to permit our police departments to let so much crime slip under the radar.

I've never seen a 'DUI' checkpoint unmanned, or a speed trap without an officer and radar gun installed, yet I have heard officers state they won't be coming out to the scene of a property crime, as it just isn't worth the trouble. I'm sorry, it's the stupid speed traps and illegal searches that aren't worth the trouble, and every effort should be made to handle property crimes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Decriminalizing lowers the cost of drugs but not the profit margins. Dealers will be able to sell more drugs with lower prices and make more money.
