Recent violence in Los Ramones
The municipality of Los Ramones, Nuevo León, has recently grappled with violence stemming from organized crime. On July 13, authorities discovered a charred Jeep Gladiator vehicle containing three bodies at Kilometer 2 of the highway to Las Enramadas.
A few days later, on July 19, another vehicle—a classic Jetta—was found at Kilometer 75 of the road to Las Enramadas, with two charred bodies inside.
In response to these distressing incidents, on July 23, military personnel conducted preventive and surveillance patrols in Los Ramones and neighboring municipalities. These operations were executed in collaboration with the National Guard, the Civil Force, and the municipal police.
It is crucial to highlight that Mexico is currently confronting a mounting crisis of missing persons, with more than 110,000 individuals still unaccounted for.

Another typical day in Mexico, criminals succeeding at crime, while innocent law abiding citizens, get kidnapped, murdered.
ReplyDeleteInnocent law biding citizens, give me a break. We basicly no nothing about who the missing are. Are you gonna say the same thing when it comes out he was trafficking guns or something? I'm sure there innocents but mostly not! Each time I'm like man thats sad the truth comes out and then I'm like well ok he deserved it.
Delete@1.10 .You know nothing about who they are, but YOU want a break? For what, to do some research? You should have done that before mocking somebody who has exactly the right idea- not judging people before you know what the fuck is going on. They might be guilty, they might not, but you have some nerve saying ''if it turns out that....'' because one thing I notice about commenters like you, you never come back when it turns out that everything was the opposite of the bullshit you lapped up from US media. They are innocent till proven guilty. If you know something else, today, then say it. If not, Fuck off.
DeleteThe old guy parece not guilty, the other two not so much..
ReplyDeleteCan't jump to conclusions, I haven't ever even met these gentlemen..
If you're an American citizen and you get picked up, should you loudly complain to your captors that you are related to a military, police, or political pez gordo on the other side, and that the FBI, DEA, etc. will be on the case like stink on shit, or will that just make the coke-crazed maniacos paranoid ?
I bluffed some federales one time that my brother-in-law was in "la camara de diputados" in the states, even though I had no idea what I was babbling about..
I claimed that his patron was "mas cabron" than theirs, and that they should think twice about how they treated me..
Another instance was when I told some estatales that I taught English, and one of my students was "ahijado" to some federal police commander whose name I picked up out of a newspaper article..
Worked out for me those times, but the stakes weren't that high, and sadly, it looks like curtains for these 3..

Unbelievable killed them for their truck, the man would not hurt a fly.
ReplyDeleteHope this gets investigated well, by the US State department. Time passed and more likely are buried.
I dont know why everyone travels to Mex border states when there is a travel warning since 1999.
ReplyDeleteHard to just disregard your homeland and family..
DeleteIt’s been a while already. Hope they make it home safely but statistically speaking it’s not likely.
ReplyDelete847 you are talking about demarcates aren’t ya son….
ReplyDeleteCrime does exist for your informati and part of the on since you're defending Mexico and everything that happens there their is crime in the USA but not at that stupid level with disappearances and phony checkpoints and cops working with different groups maybe you're the one acting stupid

ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing something similar my father has been missing for 10 days from san benito Mx and no one seems to know where he is or if he was taken. If needed to identify body where do they take the body, would you happen to know that information?
