[quote]21 killed in Mexican gang shootout near US border
By FELIPE LARIOS GAXIOLA

HERMOSILLO, Mexico (AP) -- A massive gun battle between rival drug and migrant trafficking gangs near the U.S. border Thursday left 21 people dead and at least six others wounded, prosecutors said.
The fire fight occurred in a sparsely populated area about 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the Arizona border, near the city of Nogales, that is considered a prime corridor for immigrant and drug smuggling.
The Sonora state Attorney General's Office said in a statement that nine people were captured by police at the scene of the shootings, six of whom had been wounded in the confrontation. Eight vehicles and seven weapons were also seized.
All of the victims were believed to be members of the gangs.
The shootings occurred near a dirt road between the hamlets of Tubutama and Saric, in an area often used by traffickers.
Gangs often fight for control of trafficking routes and sometimes steal "shipments" of undocumented migrants from each other, but seldom have they staged such mass gun battles.
Gang violence near the Arizona border has led to calls from officials in the U.S. state for greater control of the border and is one reason given for a controversial law passed in April requiring Arizona police to ask people about their immigration status in certain situations.
In a city on another part of the U.S. border, gunmen killed an assistant attorney general for Chihuahua state and one of her bodyguards.
After being chased by armed assailants through the darkened streets of Ciudad Juarez, the vehicle carrying Sandra Salas Garcia and two bodyguards was riddled with bullets Wednesday night.
Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, said the second bodyguard was seriously wounded.
Salas was responsible for evaluating the work of prosecutors and special investigations units in Chihuahua.
Drug violence has killed more than 4,300 people in recent years in Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso, Texas.
More than 23,000 people have been killed by drug violence since late 2006, when President Felipe Calderon began deploying thousands of troops and federal police to drug hot spots.[/quote]
I'm just going to say: end the drug war, legalize drugs.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
No innocents were hurt, no problem here.

No problem?
Do you really think the people who were around there think that it was "no problem"
besides, a human life is still a human life.
The first thing that popped in my head when I read the thread title was the gang fight from Falling Down.

Hardly trolling.
You're placing value on human life.
I guess being a part of the drug cartel isn't what it's cracked up to be.

you have a brand as your avatar. you are the epitome of being a tool.
god damn gangster aliens
but you knew the risks
you knew what could happen

Kept alive? Yes.
In jail for life? Hell yes.

you're an idiot
you know how much it costs to give someone a death penalty
you'd think it's just a bullet or a injection but it's not
there's much more to it than just that.
death penalty costs a lot more than keeping someone in a prison

Hey look

So a guy in jail for life(say 50 years) wouldn't add up to the amount for an injection?

I'd go through the trouble of looking up all of the shit for you but you're not even worth it
I'm pretty sure you've tried this in another thread already so I'll settle on the fact that you're a troll or an idiot

Like I say in every thread, it isnt the injection, its what has to be done to get it done.
1 little shot of liquid doesnt cost that much unless its some super rare mineral liquid thing.
Also, let them shoot eachother, maybe they will kill eachother off enough so it doesnt need to be dealt with.
21 gang members killed. 21 people who signed up knowing what they were doing. this is like the whole army thing. they all think they are a super soldier that can do anything/immortal, then they get back from their tour so fucking surprized that only 2 of their buddies out of the 15 in their squad are on that plane back.
They should conglomerate, why have people shooting each other over completely different commodities? It'll be like an organization similar to Kraft Foods, except with drugs and people.
