Mexican drug war 19 bodies Mexico/USA border.

[Eat Shit And Die]

Nineteen bodies have been discovered in Mexico's northern border state of Chihuahua after gruesomely tortured and buried some for years in mass graves near Texas' border.

Eleven found in Ejido Jesus Carranza were recognized as having been dead for at least two years while eight others had been tortured and killed in recent days, the state prosecutor's office for missing people said on Sunday.

Ejido Jesus Carranza, near the U.S. border, is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of Ciudad Juarez and is a popular spot for picnickers from Juarez - across the border from El Paso, Texas.

Officials said the all-male victims were apparently buried two years ago at the height of battles between drug gangs seeking to control routes across the border.

Federal statistics showed more than 3,000 people were killed that year in Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.4 million, making it one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Eight bodies tossed along a road near Rosales, about 120 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Ojinaga, Texas, were also found after apparently kidnapped on Friday.

Their bodies were discovered one day later, the agency said.

The men had been shot in the head after being tortured according to the agencies report. Some had been burned, beaten and had eyes carved out.

Word of the bodies' discovery came the same day family members of missing relatives gathered in Mexico City clutching photos of their loved ones while demanding justice for those taken.

About 100 people took part in the protest on Sunday, organized by civil organizations supporting victims of drug-related violence.

Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't. Calderon can't win, imo.

Outta control when (seemingly) a good deal of the population would rather live in fear of criminal organizations than risk pissing them off by taking power away from them (and for good reason).

I don't see how Mexico is gonna get out from under this situation, it's so far gone.

Bomb 'em. Bomb them where they congregate. Take control. Sometimes the end does justify the means.

What about enslavement?

MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon, who sent battalions of poorly trained soldiers into the streets to fight powerful transnational crime organizations, leaves the battlefield this week after six years with at least 60,000 dead in drug violence and the war essentially a stalemate.

Although Calderon’s security forces have captured or killed more than two dozen of Mexico’s most-wanted drug cartel leaders, many of those vacancies have been filled. And while some cartels have been diminished, others have thrived, and there has been no measurable decrease in the quantity of drugs smuggled into the United States.
