This past Wednesday another massacre took place in Mexico. With the increase of violence in Mexico over the past few years, the death of fifteen men would be one of three massacres this week. The massacre took place at a local carwash in the city of Tepic. Most of the victims were recovering drug addicts who were employed at the carwash. It is thought to be believed that the employees were washing stolen cars, but there is no know connection to the shooting. With the increase in violence and murder, another carwash owned by the same owners lost a man the day before in a shooting. Investigation is taking place to see if there is a connection between the two shootings. The gunmen suspected in these shootings are in drug and gang organizations. There seems to be a connection in reference to drugs among the gunmen and the victims in the same shootings. For example in Tijuana there was a shooting at a drug rehabilitation center, killing thirteen drug addicts who were currently in recovery. The victims may have had a previous relationship with some of the gunmen, or maybe the gunmen who are part of the organizations are trying to send out a physical message to the government and the local people. Also in Tijuana 135 tons of marijuana was taken into police procession. Following the drug bust a message was verbally said to the police department. Someone hacked into the police department’s radio line and threatened to kill 135 people in the city. As the drug production continues to increase cartels will continue to try and defeat the government and over power it. These shootings and massacres are a message to the government and will continue, because this groups want the attention and fear they gain from committing these attacks.

Why do you think that drug gang related crimes are prevalent in Mexico? Read my blog on the same topic. :)
