CityonSMASH Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 not like its a secret whats going on down there right now but this shits pretty sav. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38843735/ns/world_news-americas/ MEXICO CITY: The discovery of 72 slain Central and South American migrants on a ranch just south of the U.S. border provides a horrific reminder of the brutality of human trafficking in a country dominated by drug cartels. A wounded Ecuadorean who escaped the killing ground in Mexico's Tamaulipas state told authorities that the migrants' abductors identified themselves as Zetas, a drug gang whose control of parts of the state is so brutal and complete that even many Mexicans avoid traveling its highways. Migrants running the gauntlet up Mexico to reach the United States have long faced extortion, violence and theft. But reports have grown of mass kidnappings of migrants, who are forced to give the telephone numbers of relatives in the United States or back home who are then required to transfer ransom payments to the abductors. Teresa Delagadillo, who works at the Casa San Juan Diego shelter in Matamoros just across from Brownsville, Texas, said she often hears stories about criminal gangs kidnapping and beating migrants to demand money — but never a horror story on the scale of this week's massacre."There hadn't been reports that they had killed them," she said. In an April report, Amnesty International called the plight of tens of thousands of mainly Central American migrants crossing Mexico for the U.S. a major human rights crisis. The report called their journey "one of the most dangerous in the world" and said every year an untold number of migrants disappear without a trace. Mexico's government has confirmed at least seven cases of cartels kidnapping groups of migrants so far this year, said Antonio Diaz, an official with the National Migration Institute, a think tank that studies immigration. But other groups say migrant kidnappings are much more rampant. In its most recent study, the National Human Rights Commission said some 1,600 migrants are kidnapped in Mexico each month. It based its figures on the number of reports it received between September 2008 and February 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasfacevictm Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Sensationalized. That shit happens, no doubt. The god damn news picks and chooses what it reports. It's not the wild west down here. 70 odd bodies on one ranch though? That's a lot. But that's how many bodies over how much time? That could be years worth of killings buried on that ranch. Also, who is to say all of those bodies were immigrants trying to make a better life for themselves? My money is on a good number of them being rival gang members and possibly cops. Long story short, don't get involved with criminals and you will be safe in pretty much all countries regardless of what the news says.

KM4RT Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 70 would be a few days worth......considering most recent estimates put drug related deaths in the last 3 years (in Mexico) to be over 20,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityonSMASH Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 S It's not the wild west down here. umm, i dunno dude. certainly not gonna be ignorant enough to disagree with someone whom actually lives in the place im speaking on and more directly, place iv never even been but: not sure it gets more "wild west" than almost 30,000 murders in less than 3 years. in fact, i can pretty much guarantee the "west west" didnt have even close to that many murders in 3 years. this shit is outta control, and alls i need to tell me that is black and white statistics.

CityonSMASH Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 pretty sure colombians and dominicans tossin twenty pieces along the atlantic is absolutely nothing like 30,000 mexican drug cartel murders with literally billions of dollars at stake. the mexicans are exporting it into the states and probably hits 9 or 10 hands minimum before Jorge on the block stuffs it in his lip rockin dogtags and tim's. either way, shits about as savage as it gets.

SwampFightOner Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yea they just settle it with Dominoes Yup haha pretty sure colombians and dominicans tossin twenty pieces along the atlantic is absolutely nothing like 30,000 mexican drug cartel murders with literally billions of dollars at stake. the mexicans are exporting it into the states and probably hits 9 or 10 hands minimum before Jorge on the block stuffs it in his lip rockin dogtags and tim's. either way, shits about as savage as it gets. I'm not talking about street dealers, I'm talking about the people who import it to the other side of the country, AKA Colombians and Dominicans. Mexican cartels have pretty much no presence east of the Mississippi, which is why, for example, the west has black tar heroin, and we have brown powder. Also, we don't (for the most part), have meth. The only Mexican drug that ever really makes it's way here is dirt weed. Granted, there's a land border involved in the West, which isn't the case here, but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
