Gory Blog Tells All

There are two blog sites (one in Spanish, one in English) called El Blog del Narco and Borderland Beat which are very interesting.
The first posts several articles per day detailing the cartel-related violence in Mexico. It includes graphic pictures that are NOT for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach. There is a small button entitled "Continuar Leyendo" at the bottom of each post which will take you to the full article and more pictures. Daily there are executions, murders, beheadings, etc. happening in almost every state of that beleaguered country. It makes me sad for the innocent people who suffer in the crossfire of a war between selfish and rabid cartels. Even if you don't speak fluent Spanish, you can get the gist of what the blog is about by the title.
The Borderland Beat site is much more professionally done with fewer posts. It offers a more political perspective and seems to be backed up by much more research. It is in English and appears to be written from more of an American perspective. El Blog del Narco appears to be Mexican owned and operated. If you get a chance, drop by and visit both sites and let me know what you think.

I would personally not want to go into any of the tourist spots that I have always loved at this point in time. Glad you are home.

I think I'll take a rain check. Not my thing.

Just shocking, like a war zone down there. Good thing you got out. What is the solution? Boycott the tourist sites?

I was looking to see if either one of them had anything from about a year ago when pirates killed a guy on Lake Falcon. It wasn't really a drug deal, but then the investigating officer on the Mexican side was executed so the investigation and supposed attempts to retrieve the body were stopped. His wife is pressuring the US govt for 'justice' but we all think she should leave it alone, and they didn't have any business being on that side of the lake on their ski-doos in the first place. But it wasn't really drug-related, and there are so many posts on the El Blog del Narco site it's hard to go back a whole year.
