Over the last week, a crime group has been killing off the members of a notorious pickpocketing gang in Puebla, leaving signed narco messages. On 28 October, the groups leader was found dead next to a narco message claiming the group would continue the killings of her gang.

Neighbors reported the body and message on 28 October in a ditch in the San Pablo Xochimehuacan area of Puebla. The text of the message was: “This happened to me for charging pickpockets too much and for being a turncoat. And we're coming for more. Atte, El Comandante Diablo. There's your Paty Rubín.”
Patricia Angélica Rubín Montes, "Paty Rubín" was the alleged leader of Los Rubin, a criminal group operating in Puebla focused on theft of handbags and pickpocketing. Paty Rubín was previously arrested in July 2025 by Policia Estatal for theft on public transport, but was later released.
In a press release, the Secretary of Citizen Security announced that the body was confirmed to be Paty Rubín.
This is second body left next to a narco message signed by El Comandante Diablo in Puebla in a week. On 25 October, another corpse was left with a message in the La Resurrección area of north east Puebla.
The message read: "The purge has arrived for all those who go around collecting fees and extorting working people... The people of El Comandante Diablo Special Forces Corps have arrived."
Killing the members of a notorious theft gang is an easy way to gain local support, especially when civilians view the justice system as corrupt, slow, and ineffective. This type of opportunistic vigilante killing and accompanying messages are a common tactic in Mexico's crime conflict.

Cartels doing kidnapping, extortion, raping men and women, property theft. Why pick on pick pockets, they to trying to earn a living.
ReplyDeleteBecause they’re idiots . Who think they have “morals” . I rather get my cellphone stolen than come across the cartel scumbags
DeleteThat's what she said.
DeleteI want to comment here about a funny occasion that occurred in another article because I want everyone to enjoy it. Somebody mentioned a "stadium full of BB posters." Can you imagine such a spectacle? One part of the stadium will have a bunch of "performative males" holding lattes which cost a quarter of their wages. Another part will have a cluster of middle aged men with faded 90s tribal tattoos and all. The last section of the stadium will be a mixed bag, wannabes, Edgar haircut types, sol fans, bordering, if not full fledged, on being incels/lowcows. OK, I'm out.
Delete4:03 yea fuck them we gotta take the country back , que se vayan a la vrg pinches cricos , they nothing without the pueblo
DeleteNuffy?
DeleteJust stick a blade thru their eyeball if u encounter em
Deletepeople really defending thieves? unreal.
Deletethis dude sit and defend lacras being killed by lacras, who cares they are both criminals so if thye kill of some scum at least its some thieves less
Delete7:24 where would you be?
DeleteWear a sign:
"IMMEHER!"
12:12 murderers taking the law on their own ignorant hands or making it up on the spot against the lowest of the low are even worse than lesser men, usually extreme right hypocrites.
DeleteBeing Puebla must be descendants of giniral and governor of Puebla maximinio avila camacho whose own brother had him murdered for demanding to be made "Presidente de México", his brother was presidente manuel avila camacho who gave the JOB to SLP governor Gonzalo N Santos.
7:24 PM
DeleteThats about right,scary thing is there are millions of these watered down men who whine and complain about race and bullshit.Very important topics,not
@7.24. Lol. What's a "lowcow"?
Delete@12.12. This has nothing to do with people defending themselves, let alone the victims of pickpockets having a say. It's organised crime stamping down on anybody who doesn't pay them a cut or undermines their propaganda. Whenever people complain that the protection rackets are just extortion a local petty criminal that everybody knows will be strung up.
Delete@12.12. If a poor street thief gets tortured and murdered by a bigger, badder, more vicious thief that doesn't need to steal then yes, they defend the street thief when they compare the two against eachother. Nobody is defending theft in principle.
DeleteIt's only shitbags killing shitbags. Relax and enjoy.
ReplyDelete5:45 when they run out of shitbags, you'll be surprised:
DeleteThey'll say: next! For you...
I like this masssage!
DeleteI am sorry, but Snitcher Truther with Lil balls snitched.
Delete@5.54. You love it don't you, you sadistic euro gore tourist. Just lean back and drool while brown people kill eachother for your droop-eyed entertainment.
DeleteWe don’t steal we just sell your children drugs laced with fentanyl
ReplyDelete@3.17. They're often just Police let off the leash to serve the purposes of the corrupt authorities and whichever boss has most to lose when people are being robbed. They get together and some mythical Commandante is created to scare the petty thieves and reassure the business owners. Commandante Diablo was likely just 3 sweaty middle aged cops with masks who'll be back at work tmrw. And no, it isn't Rey de Reyes attack dog from the Gulf-Zeta war lol.
ReplyDeleteTownspeople, pheasants, compensinos should team up with weapons and get rid of the local criminal cartel, an eye for an eye.
ReplyDeletePoor picket gang.
8:39 there are laws, only worse beasts want to go back to lynching, "Strange Fruits" are reappearing on the US hanging from trees as the extreme right wingers grow more frustrated by their "king's stupidity"
DeleteThe pheasants and compensinos ARE the cartel members, in plainclothes!
DeleteWhy hasn't Borderland beat reported on the assassination of uruapan mayor huh....
ReplyDeleteMijo they have jobs and families, they are on volunteer basis. Meanwhile, complain to Shienbaum to do something about his death, he was a very outspoken good guy. Shienbaum is known to say, she is going to put all the PGR on this Case, but in the end nothing gets done, just like Valeria the influencer that was shot, live on camera, she said a group was put to investigate and bring the criminals to justice, to this day nothing has been done. What the group does ,go to drink at the topless bars, but no progress.
DeleteDear BorderLand Beat,
DeleteI want you to do a story.....
On Bruce Lee, the best martial arts expert and how he died.
Can you also include photos, I like to read articles with photos.
I hate to say it but this is probably one good thing that the cartels are doing. These pickpocket scumbags are too lazy to work in an honest job and earn a living the normal way. I went to Paris France recently with Buffy because she had to look for vampires. The streets are full of Romanian groups that all pickpocket. They are not afraid of the police. If there's no evidence they are let go. If there is evidence they are held for one hour and then charged a small citation and released to continue their pickpocket stealing. I guarantee you that if somebody started killing these dudes the pickpocket would immediately stop. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDelete9:44 Fucking Muff Diver, the closest you have been to france is when you french kiss buffy's ass...
Delete@9.44. You are a flat out moron, comparing France to Mexico. You think that organised crime insisting on taking a cut to make the trade organised is a "good thing"? You believe their propaganda,and use Roma in Paris as an example to justify their "cleansing"? You guarantee that it would stop if thieves and pickpockets were tortured to death like they are in Mexico? Jesus....
DeleteYou guys outnumber them 100 to 1... A revolution would be nothing, for you Industrious SUMBITCHES, wey!
ReplyDeleteAre you all going to cover the murder of Carlos Manzo? I understand BB is unpaid but instead of random stories, maybe covering the most widespread news right now would be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteYeah thats fair. I'll see if I can make time after work today to cover it.
Delete10:56
DeleteSince you have a lot of free time, and it's important, grab the information, from Mexican newspapers, translate it to English, with the credit line given, send it to BB email, posted in this website, when Huaso gets off work, he will put it in here.
Thanks for going the extra mile.
Carlos Manzo very sad bro he was supposed to have federal protection..He dared to criticize Sheinbaumberg and others and knew he was in danger but ?
Delete@10.56. This isn't a "random story" dude. I've been wondering why the Manzo story hasn't been covered too, but this wasn't just a rubbernecking story. It's important.
DeleteYour tio is a cartel member or your primo or maybe the neighbors… or you can be one too
ReplyDeleteYes, no period nino.
DeleteSignificant meth bust in Oildale California.
ReplyDeleteSpecial operations teams are already training for the Mexico assault, in conjunction with the CIA, according to law enforcement sources, who said the plans are not yet fully formed.
ReplyDeleteSince President Donald Trump declared drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations earlier this year, the door has been opened to more aggressive tools, including use of the military.
“For us to put U.S. soldiers on the ground in Mexico is just a tremendous obstacle in terms of political ramifications," said Jack Riley, who was special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Chicago from 2010 to 2014.
Riley's legendary law enforcement career was highlighted by his relentless pursuit of drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman
Commandante Diablo we need your services in USA where the BLM cartel is shoplifting.
ReplyDeleteSecretary of Public Security, Juan Carlos Oseguera Cortes at the Michoacan Gob palace,anyone see the way this pig behaved with the female journalist? She dared to ask a question about human rights in which he supposedly has a masters degree? His answer was to use clubs and intimidation on anyone..Mexico needs an answer to these pigs
