Tijuana: A man is hanged from a bridge, amidst wave of relentless executions
The killings have surged since 2016, an infestation of violence and blood, public executions and murders, thousands of dead, morgues that cannot sustain the flow of bodies. They are shot, stabbed, strangled, bruised necks and severed limbs, charred, burned, and disarticulated, severed limbs wrapped in black trash bags, eyes leering from a head, stuck in an plastic cooler or suitcase.
For some the degradation and violence can be seen in a single image of a body twisting in the wind, hanged from a bridge, in the early morning hours, a stillness of the day, a lifeless body swaying slightly, silently.
