What is the situation there now with the Dannys out of the picture? Could some of these killings be a cleanup of remaining members of that group?
ReplyDeleteAre some of these killings innocent? Are people getting shot just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Sure seems to be a lot of killing in intersections.

Delete(@1:23am)Lot of killings happen at intersections cause thats when vehicles stop at lights or for oncoming traffic,and thats when the motorbike comes alongside the side window,occupants in the vehicle cant move more than likely they blocked in with other vehicles.....so motorbike passenger pulls out pistol and blows the desired targets brains out all over his wifes face or vice versa.
ReplyDelete"Somehow a patrol of the Policia Estatal encountered suspects" - somehow, indeed! A broken clock is always right twice a day!
