  4. So the questions is.....Who do the dead sicarios belong to??? CDG in fighting has calmed down a lot so are they more united than before. Maybe our friends in the RGV can enlighten us.

    1. Yes the inter-fighting within CDG has calmed down, but at the same time the fighting can start happening again. When Metro 3 was the boss, CDG of Reynosa was united but now each commander controls his sector and does what ever he wants.

    2. There is a lot of fighting in the area between the CDG del Sur faction and the CDG Centro faction. In this case, Sur faction is believed to be responsible, but there is uncertainty.

    3. Neither are cartels - these are gangs of thugs who control parts of a city. By definition a cartel can manage a commodities price through their control of supply. These punks sequestedores extort, sell crystal in their tiendas and move a little dope across the border when you look at the big picture of dope getting into USA. A real cartel CONTROLS routes, politicians, massive geography, and ultimately the supply that is hitting the market. Los Columbianos used to manage supply/cost well but now the Costco of dope and only cartel in Mexico works to push as much as they can through to bring in the money as fast as they can get it south; because the Chapos of Mexico never know when the real cartel leaders are going to replace them like they did Chapo with Caro Quintero with Azul y Mayo with him. Chapo heated too many plazas and ultimately the USA Influence and violence forces a change - Chapos lucky he went down alive and I bet he doesn't hit US soil!

  5. Chasing around in pickup trucks. not a lot of foliage to hide in . The Mex. Military etc. have plenty of helicopters and could easily stop this filth. DO not go to Mexico . Especially in a big dual cab 4 door pickup truck. or giant SUV. Halcone's will spot you as soon as you cross the bridge . Ever seen them just sitting aound on the Mex. Side. They have cell phones and Nextel. There buddies are heavily armed and use medieval version of Calthrops called " Poncha llantas" . Stay out of Mexico

    3. Quit talking about what u don't know! I'm about to cross into Reynosa in my 2015 Ford Expedition EL and driving to Monterrey, San Luis Potosí then Leon and back. Two weeks ago it was Laredo, Saltillo, Torreon, Durango and Mazatlan in my 2014 F150 XLT. Been doing legal biz for 20 years all over N Mexico and never had a problem - I stay on carreteras and drive all night too. There's halcones and block watchers in every city in the world where gangs have to protect their racket - but if your no threat - no problem!

    4. 7:55 a.m. It's all about the game and how you play it bro. If you don't look for trouble - trouble won't find you. Maybe a few punteros will look at you and see how things could be done honorably.

    5. 12:34pm - I appreciate you speaking out Compa! Most of the people in Mexico are good and struggling to live peacefully and raise family. There aren't a fraction of the legitimate opportunities as there are in USA and when people ignorantly bash Mexico it hurts good people.

    2. Why do people keep saying that r1 is dead? R1 is not dead. M3 is dead and confirmed. R1 is still around. All the metros know that and they also now know that r1 was not the trader. X20 was the trader who killed m3 and blamed it on coss and r1. Time after after x20 also betrayed gringo and killed him.

    3. You raise a good point it's partly cuss it's not at easy as it looks n also it speaks of the quality of the sicarios and also when you put an ar15 or an m4 against the ak 47 just by design the Mexican armed forces should win almost always

  11. Frankly, carretonero, i did not go back to mexico when it was not so bad, now i know i will never go back, the mexicans are the best people in the world, but you only have to meet the bad ones once, and it is over for good...

  12. When the minimum salary is 25 dollars A WEEK, if you are real lucky to ge a job like that, and more likely you make 10 dollars a week on your own unless you are a ho', you must be making a living off legally, like laundering money legally or something, nobody drives a 2015 expedition and travels so much in mexico unless doing something dirty.
    --A while ago i told you about pemex, as son as the fix was in prices would go down and leave mexico all fucked up, so what kind of business are you in, carretero???

  13. Police don't do justice all time. Sometimes they do mistake with the people and sometimes they do injustice with the people. So that's why some people take revenge on police. Then they carry the best semi auto pellet gun.
