The entire government of Mexico is infiltrated by barbaric drug cartels. We don’t hear much news about Mexico due mostly in part to journalists and media being kidnapped or killed. Mexico is a failed state, it is lawless and the leadership is morally bankrupt. Mexico is gruesome and that must be understood. Where is that ubiquitous United Nations Human Rights Council?
In 2013, the Bodies were headless and buried.
According to Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office, conflict between organized criminal groups has resulted in the beheading of 1,303 people in five years, a grisly tactic becoming the hallmark of the war between the country’s cartels.
El Universal reported that decapitations steadily increased during President Felipe Calderon’s term in office: just 32 beheadings were registered in 2007, while 2011 registered 493 such deaths between January and November.
The count will likely be similarly high for 2012. Last May saw the discovery of 49 headless and dismembered bodies in Nuevo Leon state, attributed to the Zetas, who are closely associated with the tactic.
MEXICO CITY, May 20 (Reuters) – Mexican soldiers have arrested an alleged perpetrator of the massacre of 49 people whose corpses were decapitated, dismembered and dumped on a highway last week.
Daniel Elizondo, alias “The Madman,” a leader of the Zetas drug cartel, was detained in the northern state of Nuevo Leon, a spokesman for the army said Sunday.
But the most recent outrage has sparked protests across Mexico and are calling fro President Nieto to resign over the missing students.
Federal police are investigating a case of 43 missing students last seen being put into police vehicles. Widespread protests have criticized the government’s handling of the case.
Protests occurred Nov. 8 throughout Mexico including the capital and the state of Guerrero. A group in Mexico City broke off from the main protest and tried to storm the ceremonial presidential palace. Hundreds descended on the Guerrero government headquarters, burning several vehicles.
“Ya me canse (I’ve had enough).”
The comments by Murillo Nov. 7 at the end of press conference helped spark protests the next day. #YaMeCanse and #estoycansado were among the most trending Twitter hashtags in Mexico.
“We received a group of about 40 people… Some of them were unconscious or already dead.”
Three suspects confessed to killing the students at a garbage dump in a video released by the attorney general’s office Nov. 7. The suspects said they burned the bodies using tires, logs and gasoline before putting the remains in trash bags and dumping them in a river. Authorities are testing bags they recovered.

Mexico’s attorney general called the pair “the probable masterminds” behind the disappearance of the students. They were found in rented accommodation in Mexico City.
AG Jesus Murillo believes the mayor and his wife gave orders to police the day of the shootings and disappearances. Police shot and killed a student, and detained others before handing them over to the Guerreros Unidos gang, Murillo said. Sidronio Casarrubias, the gang’s leader, was arrested a week earlier.
Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre, 58, quit his post through a leave of absence Oct. 23 “to favor the political climate” after outcry over the disappearances and mass graves. He could not resign, according to Mexican law. Guerrero’s Congress elected Rogelio Ortega Oct. 26 to replace him through 2015.
Authorities arrested four suspected members of the Guerreros Unidos gang on Oct. 27. Dozens of police with ties to the gang have also been arrested. Several mass graves have been found in the aftermath of the students’ disappearance, but none contained the remains of the missing young people.
The Mexican government said Oct. 19 that federal police assumed control 13 towns within a 125-mile radius of Iguala, Guerrero. Police departments in those towns are under investigation for the students’ disappearance. The government announced Oct. 20 a reward of $111,000 for information on the students.
