    13 killed, 8 at funeral, in violent Mexico state

    ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Police say eight men were killed in an attack on a funeral in a rural area of Guerrero, part of a death toll of 13 over the weekend in the southern state plagued by drug violence.

    An Atoyac de Alvarez municipal police statement says officers found seven dead and two injured early Sunday morning at the scene of a vigil. One of the injured later died.

    The statement said the funeral-goers were attacked by masked men firing large caliber rifles favored by drug cartels as they mourned the victim of shooting several days earlier.

    Acapulco police said Sunday that three bodies were found dumped in a vacant lot in the resort city, while a fourth was found decapitated in a car and another man died in a shootout with police.

      The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
      arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

        Are you suggesting the Mexican drug gangs are protecting themselves from the tyranny of the anti-drug government?

        Make dealing drugs punishable by death it makes no difference which side of the border you are on.
      • odcfresno 3 mths ago
        In a way, M, yes. If it wasn't arbitrarily illegal (illegal to buy and sell products that people want and enjoy, yet harms no one else) they would be considered entrepreneurs. Since some people feel the need to control what others enjoy, that harms no other, there is a lot of money involved. That kind of uncontrolled money invites people willing to do anything to get it.

      Then we have Eric Holder attacking our rights to own guns , but then he supplies the Drug Lords with Guns (Fast and Furious) , guess he would rather us throw rocks back at them. Eric Holder needs to step down or be impeached!

      Mexican Government needs to execute the drug related gang members one by one if they want to control the violence.
      • Stony 3 mths ago
        The Mexican government is bought and paid for by the cartels.
      • Me 3 mths ago
        The Mexican government can't shoot it's CIA partners?
      • Hubert 3 mths ago
        Agreed, they need to be as ruthless and secretive as the cartels. Trouble is, in the end, they will control the drug trafficking, and heartless greed will take the upper hand.
    • MYVIEW  •  3 mths ago
      The U.S. needs to do the following. Anyone! Let me repeat that! Anyone, who (in prison or not) acknowledges any gang affiliation should be executed on the spot. These scumbags have no redeeming qualities, including but not limited to the act of procreation!

    • Bob  •  3 mths ago
      The large caliber rifles were probably some of the guns allowed to "walk" to Mexico through the ATF's Fast and Furious operation. When is Eric Holder going to be brought up on criminal charges?
      • E85Prices 3 mths ago
        When is the NRA going to be brought up on charges.
      • greg 3 mths ago
        The NRA are the only group trying to bring the Fast n Furious story to light. If not for NRA you would have never known that DOJ was sending guns to drug dealers.
      • David 3 mths ago
        Yeah, unlike the BATF, the NRA OPPOSES illegal gun sales. We don't want to arm the scumbags. If the Obama administration hadn't wanted SOOO bad to show that some US sold guns were getting to the cartels (by sending them there themselves) there'd be a few less dead people down there now.

    • A Yahoo! User  •  Killeen, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Mexico is going deeper and deeper into a state of darkness. As far as tourism in Mexico is concerned, it will never recover in our lifetime. Their government has failed miserably in containing and eliminating the drug industry. You would have to be either ignorant of all of the bad publicity or really really stupid to go there...ever!
