Mexico - only a thin veneer of a modern society
covers pervasive violence and corruptions. Just like much of Iraq - it will probably get worse before it gets better.
"By week's end, at least 46 more people would be dead in a dizzying variety of attacks across Mexico, including hand-grenade assaults and decapitations, mainly targeting police, federal agents and rival drug traffickers. The killings offer a window into the scope of the violence and the tactics of psychological warfare that are often behind it. Many of the deaths appear to involve disputes between competing bands of traffickers. At least one of those bands appears to be splitting into at least two different groups. On Tuesday, authorities in Tuxtepec, a city in the southern state of Oaxaca, discovered a severed head with a note nearby. "This is going to happen to all the people who work with the Zetas," the message read, referring to the hit men who work for the Gulf cartel. The message was signed, "Sincerely, the New Blood." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...la-home-center |

On the bright side, there should be a lot of good Mexican Mob movies in the future that will chronicle these events. I always try to find a solver lining.

The Three Amigos comes to mind.

Anybody who has seen Delta Farce know that.
BTW, if you haven't seen it, don't. It was horrible. |

The Mexican mob is attempting a takeover of Los Angeles on The Shield. I wonder how much, if any, of that is happening here in the states in real life.

I heard on the radio that something like 90% of all gang members in the U.S. are illegal aliens.
Been looking for a credible study on that but so far no luck finding information either way. |

You could not possibly believe that number. What there are no gangs with black guys or white guys in them?
