Across Mexico, thousands of farmers and truckers are blocking highways today to protest insecurity, rising fuel prices, and poor conditions of farmers. Security along Mexico’s highways has deteriorated in recent years due to carjackings, disappearances, and rampant cargo theft.
The highway blockades, scheduled for April 6, are being organized by the National Association of Transport Drivers (ANTAC) and the National Front for the Rescue of the Mexican Field (FNRCM). Highways are reportedly blocked in more than 20 of Mexico’s 32 states.
Nationwide strikes and highway blockades have become a common protest tactic in Mexico in recent years, where threats to truckers and other motorists have increased. Mexicans consistently rank highways as one of the places where they feel most unsafe. Cargo transport drivers are particularly at risk. Around 40 cargo trucks are hijacked across Mexico every day, with 80% of the hijackings including violence.
Stolen tools found at CSRL cargo theft safehouse following crackdown on fuel theft in Mexico.
Criminals, often linked to large cartels, will ambush cargo truck drivers on rural highways. Sometimes, the criminals use tirespikes or lasers to force the drivers to stop. Other times, the criminals will box the drivers in with vehicles and force the drivers out at gunpoint. The hijacked truck is taken to a rural stash house before the goods are ransomed back, or sold at markets.

DeleteI'm white to. But your posts are so fucking retarded. I will you could be banned. You are the biggest faggot ive ever seen post on sites like this. I hope you die slowly. You absolute disgrace to the white race. Fucking go suck some tranny cock. You bitch ass faggot.
DeleteThere is a very simple solution to this. Have a couple of armed bodyguards travel along with the truck driver. Allow these bodyguards to carry high caliber weapons. Making the trailer box humanly unable to open would also help. Installing a pass code in the rear door that only the shipper and receiving warehouses would know. The driver would not know the pass code. Doing this would drop the number of these incidents dramatically. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteOr get the driver tortured and killed

DeleteNone of that is feasible.
You’re joking hopefully cuz those were really stupid ideas.

There’s another simple solution to this as well:
DeleteJust nuke Mexico like we did Japan.
Maybe they’ll end up better like the Japanese did., better people, better craftsmanship, better common sense and
better loyalty to America.
Long live the USA.

ReplyDeleteCorruption is built into Mexico's culture, highway cops were disbanded bc even the "good guys" were fucking their own ppl, mexico is doomed forever until the ppl show balls n take back their OWN country, but alas, "it's every mf for himself" stupidos!
ReplyDeleteThat's Koo foo
Delete12:50 and 1:53 this bullshit is all destabilizing attempts rooted in extreme right discontent, both in Mexico and today's US gov., straight from ricardo salinas pliego, el xoconostle x gonzalez, Ricardo Monrial, alito, marco cortez, moreira, viggiano, lily tellez, they and more are losing their nalgas to the government anti-corruption programs...
Deleteagitation is nothing new, and it gets financed or helped by the worst and most corrupt the world has to offer...
"Money spent by the CIA to destabilize Chilean government of Salvador Allende"
More than 8 million dollars between 1970 and 1973, and more than 3 million spent on anti-Allende activities in 1964.
Spent on opposition parties and propaganda and subversive activities and media outlets like "the Mercurio".
Subversion by extreme right "democrata-cristianos" blamed on US invented communistas.
Somebody needs new tricks for the usual motherfuckers and their crazy "leadership".

DeleteAmerica now leads the pack, death squads are on the 2028 drawing board. Don't forget, the repubs denied that there was actually a "project 2024" until after trump won, ICE Venezuela Iran are just stepping stones to acclimate Americans to the NEW America, boil frogs slowly
DeleteI hate to be so dark, but, Mexicans: this is what you get for celebrating and romanticizing the thieves and the banditos in your culture.
ReplyDeleteYou have nobody to blame but yourselves.
Now you are suffering at the hands of the very outlaws you have created.
