Friends & Neighbors Update

MEXICO CITY, Mexico — In a horrifying show of brutality, gunmen barged into a bar in central Mexico early Wednesday and tossed five human heads on the dance floor, after covering patrons with their weapons, officials said.

Heavily armed men fired their guns in the air as they entered the bar in Uruapan in the central state of Michoacan, said Magdalena Guzman, spokeswoman for the state prosecutor’s office. The gunmen ordered patrons to the ground before tossing the heads.

Guzman said investigators believe the beheadings were linked to organized crime, possibly drug smugglers. No arrests had been made.

If my calculations are correct, I believe the total number of cartel beheadings in Mexico now stand at fourteen.

Now, let's add this story to the above to make a delicious crap sammich...

Point Reyes Invaded by Mexican Organized Crime?

The discovery of 22,740 marijuana plants growing in and around Point Reyes National Seashore last week wasn’t only the biggest pot seizure ever made in Marin County. It was an environmental mess that will take several months and tens of thousands of dollars to clean up. […]

Federal officials believe as much as 80 percent of the marijuana on public land is grown by Mexican drug cartels that have turned to places like Point Reyes National Seashore, Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in this era of tightened border security; growing the drug here is far easier than smuggling it in. The plants found in Point Reyes last week were valued at around $50 million, Dell’Osso said. […]

Lt. Scott Anderson of the Marin County Sheriff’s Department said the pot farm’s similarities to those found in other national parks suggests it was the work of a Mexican cartel that probably employed undocumented immigrants.
Yes, that's right boys and girls. The very same drug cartels running about Mexico and lopping people's heads off have set up shop in America.

Huzzah!

Thank you Mr. President for being, quite possibly, the singularly weakest president this nation's ever had to endure.
