After receiving written threats on the night of September 26, Oxxo convenience stores closed for the night in Irapuato, Guanajuato. According to TV Consecuencias, messages saying "paisano you must join up" were posted inside the businesses around 7 p.m..
The meaning likely was, "join us or else". It is possible criminal groups are exerting pressure on businesses to pay extortion fees, assist with money laundering, or act as spots to sell drugs or stolen gasoline.
Photos by journalist Gerardo Hernández for his outlet TV Consecuencias show several shuttered stores, with lights off and doors locked. One photo shows two National Guard soldiers standing guard on the street. He reported TV Consecuencias reported that 90% of the Oxxos in the city closed. There are at least 30 Oxxo convenience stores in Irapuato.
Neither Oxxo or local authorities have acknowledged the event.
These threats come just over a month after CJNG members burned over two dozen Oxxo stores across the state of Guanajuato in retaliation after the government attempted capture of their leader, as reported by Borderland Beat. According to El Sol de Irapuato, 13 of those were in Irapuato.

SIR threatened them with sending them via email his rants.
ReplyDeleteI commend Oxxo for not paying piso, and shame on the criminal group (likely CJNG) for making this store close! They clerks make a pittance and many poor people without transportation use Oxxo for much of their shopping needs - but CJNG only cares about themselves, and keeping their sicarios high!
ReplyDeleteBut but but CJNG say they are the good guys, they don't kill, they work at the farms picking up lettuce, Avacados.
DeleteButt Mencho is a vile criminal who talks out of both sides of his mouth, and has zero concern for anyone but his fat wife and deformed looking criminal son.
DeleteNever forget when sinaloense ARTURO BELTRAN LEYVA bitch slapped michoacano CUINI in his home turf in Michoacan when CUINI wanted to rob everything from the late FELIX CORNEJO and MENCHO was there and didn’t do shit! #PuroSinaloa without sinaloans there to keep em in check Michoacanos would have ransacked the whole continent by now!
Delete5:01
DeleteNone of that is true but whatever makes you feel good lame. Michoacános stay killing Sinaloas like nothing you fools are weaklings always have been still are to this very day! In the US you fools stay running even in the pen you guys are disrespected. Mexican Mafia eMe even said it themselves in LA times article CDS is weak and rather have worked with LFM who was more with the functions.
5:31, actually 5:01 is 100% correct. I realize your new to this so I would encourage you to read some news instead of limiting your “knowledge” to the comments.
Delete@5:01 puras pendejadas, get your story straight
Delete@5:47 link articles
Delete5:01 Arturo never slapped one of the Cuinis. It was the Michoacános that helped the Sinaloa cartel when they didn’t have coke they introduced crystal meth to them. Nacho Coronel gave el cartel del milenio the opportunity to join CDS. Nacho coronel considered himself El rey del crystal he would give chapo credit for the product until one day he asked for his money back & chapo bitch as told didn’t want to pay & asked el milenio cartel to take out Nacho & they did. They gave the military information & didn’t go back up nacho
Delete5:47 si no ahi video entonces son puros cuentos chinos, hablando de videos se acuerdan uno en donde el chapo estava llorando cuando lo llevavan para la USA? 🥹😢 y no nos olvidemos del video de puerto vallarta donde tienen a unos gueyes de rodillas y le dana a uno un patadon en las costillas 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Arriba Jinaloa plebej!!!
DeleteDont take my word for it! It also comes from your fellow michoacano SARGY, take it up with him! Those thieving instincts run deep in you michoacanos that cant be denied! Thats why you extort your own people while sinaloa is extortion free!
Delete6:28 that’s nice that you finally learned how to properly state your comments lol
Delete@6:17
DeleteEste vatos is sabe 👍
Fuck those Sinaloa bitches puros habladores los gueys!
Sargy? Reminds me of that song:
Delete"los marcianos llegaron ya,
y llegaron bailando cha cha cha
Crips, bloods, Italian mafiosos and Arian brother hood never does this behaviors in the USA. Want to know why? Cause US has law and order. Mexico is helpless .
ReplyDelete12:28 dude u stupid I wouldn't worry much about those mentioned gangs but about the politicians who r the real threat
DeleteThose gangs you mention are no where near the level that Mexican criminal organization are at. The US is Mexico’s backyard, those foreigners you mention are put in check by raza when they get out of line.
DeleteIt's actually done in the USA all the time. There's YouTube video of retired police officers detailing how cartels and local mafia infiltrate local city councils, mayors, and police and corrupt them. It's done more low key than in Mexico. If you don’t believe it happens in the USA you're living in a dream world.
DeleteCause Mexico has such honest and noble politicians. I’d rather face a US street gang than be stuck dealing with Mexico’s NORMALIZED corrupt system of government.
Delete3:05 The USA has legalized corruption: lobbying.
DeleteYou trippin.. ur obviously out of the loop when it comes to hood shit. All kinds of stores and businesses get extorted by gangs in the US.. i know this for a fact. I know a jack in thew box and dominoes pizza and various liquor stores in LA that get extorted in LA by hispanic and black gangs.. not to mention every booth in Alameda Swapmeet gets extorted by the Eme.. matter of fact the Emes number one source of income comes from extorting illicit and legit businesses all over southern cali. All them miqueros and foos doing sdhiy in downtown LA to fukn eloters be getting taxed foo.. and the italian mafia was known for extortion giving businesses “protection”. The italians would extort hotels and restaurants and it was and has beewn widely known forever.. also if they would see that a business wasd successful they would strongarm that business away from the owner and buy it from them at the price they wanted to basically getting it for super low.. thats how they also were able to get their gaming licenses in nevada from previous holders was by forcing them off their shit and took over Vegas.. all criminal organizations have been grimey as fuck none of them have no honor. And thats a fact.. they are all a bunch of scumbags.. them italians were devils in a suit.. im sure thewyre waist deep in the dope game in the east coast
Delete4:11 wins a prize because he or she nailed it.
DeleteThe 2020 looters? Biggest gang in the USA .Lets protest by stealing Louis Vutton bags !
Delete4:17
Deletereading that broke my brain
4:17 didn’t break my brain but it’s clear he worships and looks up to US gang activity - hence the low IQ apparent in the long winded comment
Delete2:33; you are 110% correct, but these welfare, unemployment beneficiaries, and mooching wick food commenters are limiting their news to what they like to read - and worse taking the commenters as truth.
DeleteWhen you don’t expand your news to include reality, and you’ve never had the ambition to travel to lesser developed countries; absolute ignorance is what people like that which your rebuttal was targeted at, become.
Many Americans are so stupid it is truly scary!
4:17
DeleteReading at least trying to, made my right eye come off, fortunately I had glue, to put it back in.
They sell cheap, toxic stuff there anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's good it's shutting down.
12:51 is a corner store, not a jewellery.
Delete11:27 he never said they sell jewelry there.
DeleteThey closed for one day?
ReplyDeleteIs that supposed to scare the extortionist.
How about close for a month.
Having Chapo's mom taking pictures with the president of Mexico tells me they need a revolution.
ReplyDeleteDonald Rumsfeld shook hands and took pictures with Sadam Hussein and nobody said the USA needs a revolution.
Delete1:35 Dumb conclusion. Chapos mom is not involved in his activities.
Delete7:38 you say the like Donald Rumsfeld was a Good guy.
DeleteMom cjng said I can’t buy my kafreeze
ReplyDeletelmao
DeleteNot sure but I think I read the stores are being targeted because some politician is a co-owner, and is linked to some cartel.
ReplyDeleteAgain, my memory could be totally wrong.
2:51
DeleteIts own by Chinese from China.
They are cheapskates.
They pay each employee 80.00 pesos a day, which in US dollars $4.00
Maybe it's related to the Zhang Cartel?
DeleteI got no info and I'm just guessing because it's a Chinese group operating in Mexico and thinking therefore it might be related.
So now where are they going to buy coolers to put heads in?
ReplyDelete3:02 not to worry, the XOXO store was only closed for one day.
DeleteThey will use Yeti's..keeps heads fresh for 5 days!!
DeleteIraq and Afghanistan were never my war on terror. Not with Juarez in view every day. More people dying there in 1 day than the other 2 shit holes combined. Baghdad? Fuck Baghdad! Same ole dog and pony show here folks. Money and old white men.
ReplyDeleteFuck these cartel pussies.Ive never been afraid of the trash bastards at Sunland Park. I ride the racehorses for real. To them it's just a code. Aqui o en Mejico pendejo. TU familia.no importa en donde. Chinga TU pinche abueles pitos Chiquitos. No dick having assholes. Just run the over. Invite them into the concrete stall and kill. Put the body in the river for the chemicals.
This has to be SIR s cousin, bunch of gibberish nonsense 😂 lol
Delete3:52 Who ever it is speaks español worse than Mentita’s meth head sign writers - and that’s bad. At least consult Google translate mijo de Reddit 3:14!
DeleteWould you like to go to the Kentucky club and have some pisto with me gibberish? It's a short walk into another world cuz. You'd get sold for a thrill kill. All your body is worth is $200.
Delete3:14 You have any source to support that?
Delete-I firmly believe.
11:31 I firmly believe MAGAZIKANS like 3:14 DIG THEIR SMELLY FACTS OUTTA THEIR ASS...then they eat and regurgitate them a few times before spewing their puke all over the place, like changos.
DeleteThey are a branch of the trumpanzee hominide nacopitheco.
SIR have a point
DeleteIt’s like 2020 all over again
ReplyDelete4:17 not at all, tromp will never fly again after so many people have seen his ass flapping his nachas in court pleading the 5th more than 440 times...
Deleteinciting his Proud Boys and Oarh Keepers to insurrection, was nothing to brag about,
Proud Boys should have stuck to Gay Pride Parades.
Mr. T
DeleteThinks he is untouchable.
Classified documents,boxes, he is in big ass trouble, they were to stay in office.
Then you have, that he did not pay taxes in New York.
Let's see if the fool can get away from that.
🤔"paisano you must join up" Isn't Irapuato a disputed plaza where mantas we're just left hanging? The only paisanos in Guanajuato are Guanajuatense. Think critically.
ReplyDeleteSame state different individual, the angry man with the white Nissan if I'm understanding correctly was recently captured. The rumor is he separated from CSRDL. S Z would be his initials.
Paging Itzli
Zermeno made his own group but csrdl accused him of joining las jaliscas. He barely got caught last week. Grillonautas & el universal accused him of being cjng member. He could have joined cds Chapitos & called himself Fantasama Z (Zermeno)
DeleteHmm. That last source counts 11 municipios where mantas were left against CSRDL
ReplyDeleteThat is referring to this story
Deletehttp://www.borderlandbeat.com/2022/09/alleged-cds-banner-announces-they-are.html
Was that BB story recently updated as it was reported mantas were placed in 9 municipios?
DeleteI am an american who went to live in mexico. I opened a couple businesses. If it wasn't the american criminals there robbing me, it was the police and the poor mexican people robbing me because they said it's ok to do so cause they are poor and I am a rich gringo. I love the Mexicans and I see how difficult life is for them but I would have been killed if I did not leave. Many people just disappear. Not a good place to retire either, too dangerous. Sorry to say that.
ReplyDelete6:46 It's ok, you can thank grampa Obrador for that.
DeleteAnd Mexico still being the #1 destination for Americans to retire. Americans are the #1 illegals living in Mexico, #2 are Canadians. Not sure which spot/type of business you chose. But think your opinion is biased.
Delete11:35 I regret to inform you that due to unforeseen events transpiring in Mexico. Kidnapping, murders etc.
DeleteMexico sovereign country is no longer the #1 Costa Rica safer to retire and Panama.
2:03 There are 50 times more americans living in Mexico than Panama (15,000 vs 800,000) legally... the number of illegal americans could easily double that number. Panama is the "best" option, but when it comes to numbers, well... Update your facts boy. Mexico still the #1 destination for vacation and living for US nationals and canadians. ☺
Delete8:39 Ok PRI lover.
Delete6:46 congratulations béiby you went and learned your lesson and got out.alive
ReplyDeleteI am a mexican American corazon. The cartel gave me trouble cause they wanted my business. I know most of CDS. I dont see you living in Culiacan joto.
Delete@9:29
DeleteYour pariente in another post stated that CDS extortion is free
9:29 be proud, La Gilbertona
Deletees de Sinaloa, I would never tempt cartels, I am too pretty for shit.
