[Quote] Reuters) - Fourteen dismembered bodies were found in a truck in the center of a town in northern Mexico on Thursday in what appeared to be the latest atrocity committed by rival gangs battling over drug-smuggling routes, local media said. The bodies of 11 men and three women were discovered in the sugar-cane farming town of Ciudad Mante in the south of Tamaulipas state, which borders on Texas, daily Milenio reported on its website. Officials at the state attorney general's office could not immediately confirm the report. Tamaulipas has been one of the bloodiest battlegrounds in Mexico's drug war. More than 55,000 people have been killed in the conflict since President Felipe Calderon sent in the army to fight drug gangs shortly after he took office in December 2006. Calderon's conservative National Action Party, or PAN, looks likely to lose power in the presidential election on July 1, due partly to rising frustration with the violence. The government has blamed the turf wars between the brutal Zetas gang, founded by army deserters, and the Sinaloa cartel of Mexico's most-wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, for an escalation of killings in recent weeks. Suspected drug cartel killers dumped 49 decapitated and dismembered bodies on a highway near the affluent northern city of Monterrey in May. Days before, 18 mutilated bodies were found near Mexico's second-largest city, Guadalajara. At the beginning of May, the bodies of nine people were hung from a bridge and 14 other dismembered victims were found in the city of Nuevo Laredo, also in Tamaulipas state and just across the border from Laredo, Texas. Seven people were wounded on Thursday, including a boy who was seriously hurt, when a male suspect threw a grenade into a restaurant in the town of Amecameca outside Mexico City, a state of Mexico official said. Authorities are investigating a possible extortion attempt against the business as well as the conflict between two gangs in the area, she said.

I think I can safely speak for everyone when I say I knew immediately that it was Mexico.
Mexico, of course. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] OH god dammit.
Mexico, not surprised. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] You guys suck.
If the drug cartels keep hanging bodies from bridges why don't they set up some cameras so they can know when it's happening and do something about it?
When is all this terror in mexico going to end this is barbaric
[QUOTE=l l;36243618]When is all this terror in mexico going to end this is barbaric[/QUOTE] It will end when either the cartels decide it ends, or when the US gets up and decides that they've had enough, which they will only do if it spills over on to our side of the border.
Ugh, and my father is in mexico right now I hope he's okay
[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;36243765]Ugh, and my father is in mexico right now I hope he's okay[/QUOTE] As long as he isn't a drug dealer he should be fine.
[QUOTE=l l;36243618]When is all this terror in mexico going to end this is barbaric[/QUOTE] It ends when the U.S realizes its demand for drugs is fueling all this violence
[QUOTE=MRTW113;36243876]It ends when the U.S realizes its demand for drugs is fueling all this violence[/QUOTE] A junkie doesn't care about anything but getting their drugs and a dealer doesn't care about people suffering. This isn't gonna end any time soon.
Is it bad I knew it would be in Mexico before I even read the article? [editline]Fuck me[/editline] And before I read the first few comments.
I'm surprised Mexico doesn't have dead people falling out of sky at this rate. Everytime you see heads discovered, dismembered bodies in a pile or massive gang shootout in the news, you just know it's Mexico.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;36243656]It will end when either the cartels decide it ends, or when the US gets up and decides that they've had enough, which they will only do if it spills over on to our side of the border.[/QUOTE] Didn't it already spill over the border? I believe people were hung from a bridge in a border town in the US if I am not mistaken.
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;36245201]Does this statistic not prove that their current method [b]isn't fucking working?[/b][/QUOTE] Well the alternative would be to simply hand control of Mexico over to the Cartels, giving them free reign over whatever the fuck they want. The only thing standing in their way at any given time is the Mexican Army.

who the fuck cares its just fucking spics
Mexico used to be one of those places I'd want to visit when I have money to just go travelling. But fuck that.
It only ends when the Mexican government decides they've had enough of this crap and just kill everyone in Mexico that they know is related to drugs. It's the only way, people in South America and in the U.S aren't going to stop buying the drugs so, Mexico's only real option is to quit playing around and show they mean business.

I bet more people have died as a result of drug trafficking-related violence than terrorism in the last 10 years.
[QUOTE=Derpmonster;36245308]Didn't it already spill over the border?

Everyone who lives here actually talks about how boring it is here. People even go kayaking on the river that borders us.

This isn't about some gang that is under the law, the gang IS the law at this point.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;36247976]I bet more people have died as a result of drug trafficking-related violence than terrorism in the last 10 years.[/QUOTE] The thing is, though, this is terrorism.
[QUOTE=MRTW113;36243876]It ends when the U.S realizes its demand for drugs is fueling all this violence[/QUOTE] They realize this. They think the solution, though, is "persuading" people not to want drugs. [editline]8th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;36245201]Does this statistic not prove that their current method [b]isn't fucking working?[/b][/QUOTE] Not necessarily. It says "55,000 [B]people[/B] have been killed". It doesn't specify if they are cartel men, army guys or innocent civilians. Probably a combination of the three, but without specifically saying which percentage of which is in that number, you can't say it is or isn't working, just yet.

The Mexican Army uses birds of prey? How the hell are the cartels still managing a fight!?
