  1. After reading these reports it seems the majority of these murders are taking place in Culican. Culican has always had a reputation for violence. I can remember the reputation the city had and it was over 25 years ago since I have been back. The murders in the Mazatlan area have taken place in the barrios and campo areas but the city is suffering. Tourism is grinding to a standstill. Not only is the narco war impacting tourism in the beach front cities but also inland. Tourism has taken a hit in San Miguel de Allende and we are seeing the exit of Expats in droves. Real Estate is selling but being bought by fleeing Monterrey residents. Will the government ever be able to control the gangs here? Doubt it but perhaps after the elections in 2012 things will quiet down a bit. We can only hope and move forward.

    Thanks to the wave of violent that grows with no end, Jaime Rodriguez Calderón, mayor of Garcia's, Nuevo Leon, began a program directed to the citizens who have weapon on hand to learn to use it. The people must have a weapon that is not used exclusively by the Mexican Army, the mayor initiated this program in order for the people to be alert in the situations which may put them and their love ones at risk. Today Sunday the advanced training courses have finished, many people of the municipality of Garcia participated and received information from how to registering their weapon, in addition they did shot practices in the Club of Hunting and Fishing. The citizens indicated that they feel more secure having a weapon in their hands, since the violent situations are more frequent, Jaime Rodriguez has lived several attacks in his life.

  3. Chamuko213 its cool that you reported all this and it must of took alot of time and effort so thank you for that, but next time cut it short. It was kind of pointless, as a reader I got the message that Sinaloa was being impact hard from the drug war from the first paragraph. Your post took up the entire first page of BB but anyways good job!

  4. @Texcoco Mex:

    It IS true...Mayor Jaime Rdgz is, or will be offering courses to citizens with LEGAL registered weapons on how to use them...I believe a couple similar programs have been started in Chihuahua which include a new firing range for civilian training and practice.

  6. I am finding it difficult to become overwhelmed with sympathy for this state. If you go back to 2007 (count them, 5 years, not 1 as Sinaloa has experienced) and move forward from there, the city of Juarez (one city) has averaged 8 murders a day with the primary cause, a greedy El Chapo from the state of Sinaloa. I know first and second hand the horror he has causes the people of Juarez. I am planning on going to see the documentary "8 Murders a Day" soon. El Chapos' people need to understand that he pissed in everyone else's yard for years and sooner or later, they will shit in his. My only questions are; how much of this is El Chapo, and how much is Calderon and the federation that El Chapo leads for him? Now that being said, who caused the beginning rifts in Nuevo Laredo, and in Tijuana? El Chapo !!!!!!!! He and Calderon have several things in common, greed, a need for power, and the love of war.

  8. @6:23, you are exactly right. Supposedly reservations for expats in RV parks in Mazatlan are at 8-10% versus a normal 70% for Winter at this time. Parks are thinking of closing down if things don't improve.

    This summer every resort had openings unlike previous years. Many Mexicans did not vacation in Maz for the summer, they stayed home, which is not normal. Maz has been grafted into the perception of violence and tourism is taking a hit. This of course makes the problem worse and the cartels more powerful as honest may turn dishonest when pushed to support families.

    Malova was thought to be a savior, but he is not. It has gotten worse under him, even with the appearance of the special police. Sinaloa, I suspect, is getting ready to erupt in the near future.

  10. This is wholesale carnage, appears to be random murder-- WHY-- who can come up with any logic,is this a Mexican thing?? If Drug gangs are responsible for this,what is the point?? Once again the Authoritys show up in time to count shell casings and take pictures. Why can't Mexicans declare war on Criminals kill them, their kids,pets,girlfriends,fathers,mothers, hell they need to do something other than sit on their lazy asses and blame the US.

  12. Thank you so much for this posting. The last fragile illusion I had had when I was a Latin American studies student was that at least this was in the past. that the constant terror, disappearance, and terrorism (state or otherwise) simply was not hapening on that scale anymore. I knew I was wrong, but thank you for proving I was wrong.

  13. Thanks to everyone that likes the post, but sorry for such a long and half ass post. Got a little over my head with all the reports that were translated. I went back and fixed what was wrong with some of the translation and the post.

  14. Chamuko213 I know translation is not easy and I think you did a good job so thank you for your hard work, and thanks to all the other reporters on BB too.

  15. This article is real and ambitious. So many deaths. Just one after another. It's never ending with no discrimination or no limits. Each murder has it's own little story. You don't get this type of news on cnn or the new york times. Raw and uncensored to the bone.

    Great article.
