#1 The dead bodies of three men kidnapped in broad daylight during a wedding ceremony two days ago were found today. Investigators at the scene said the three men were executed.

Family members of the victims said the men were related and U.S. citizens from La Mesa, New Mexico, according to the El Paso (Texas) Times.

Chihuahua state prosecutors' spokesman Arturo Sandoval said all three victims were born in Mexico, according to birth certificates presented to investigators by their relatives. It wasn't clear if they also held U.S. citizenship.

#2 The Mexican news article which initially reported the kidnapping mentioned that one family of the marriage were from New Mexico,but the translation failed to indicate which was which.

#3 More than 22,700 people have been killed in drug violence since the government began its offensive against cartels.

I wonder if the count includes people who are never found; it is just assumed they immigrated to the U.S. I also wonder if the deaths on the U.S. side are included in this count--the murders that occur in our cities where various drug cartels have tentacles (just about every large city).

#4 are all these assasinations drug related or are they just acts of terrorism against the populace for control?

In my opinion, both.

#6 Meanwhile, across the border the Tucson, last night:
An attempted robbery Tuesday night of a north-side business turned into a shootout that left one suspected robber dead and four others wounded, Tucson police said. While the robbers confronted the employee, the owner pulled a gun, and a shootout ensued. At some point, the employee also pulled a gun and fired at the robbers.
When officers arrived, one man, later determined to be one of the robbers, was found dead.

#7 Re. Luis Hector Morales: He refused to pay a business "tax" and was kidnapped. His family paid $30,000 US but he was executed anyway. Mexicans, take back your country! It is as bad there as in Iraq! Same kind of barbarians!

#8 It's interesting that there are no Mexican stories that correspond with the Tucson shoot-out last night. Mexican crooks have all the guns, I guess.

#9 Welcome to the very near future of the SW US. Welcome to the not so distant future of the rest of the US.

Anyone wonder what these drug cartels will do if (and likely when) the US runs out of money? Law enforcement is always one of the first things cut when state and local gov'ts tighten their belts.

Something about those words of old "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" comes to mind. Notice how potential victims in Tucson seem to behave differently than those in Chihuahua.
