Blog #8 Mexico gunmen set casino on fire, killing at least 53

Six attackers ran into a casino in Monterrey, Mexico, poured gasoline all over and torched the place.
One lady that was interviewed said the men came in and yelled for everyone to leave the building. She listened to them and left the building but many others ran to the second. Five of the six attackers threw gas everywhere then they set it on fire. Some of the costumers trapped themselves inside by trying to hide in bathrooms. Officials said that many exits were blocked so that possibly increased the death toll. The media had suggested that the men fired weapons and hurled grenades but later on a witness explained that did not happen and they men only gases and burned the place. Images of the shocked people outside of the casino were shown on television.

The drug cartels in Mexico are even worse than before, killing more and more people every time they attack. Their attacks are very horrid and inhumane. They need to be shut down immediately, not only are they affecting those in Mexico but everyone that they are distributing the drugs to. It is bad enough that they are distributing drugs but the killing just takes it to a higher level. Many of the attacks brought on by the members of the drug cartel have no motive and are just random acts of violence on innocent people. It is terrible for people to suffer because of the dumb acts of others. Not only is the victim suffering but the victim’s family and friends also.

  1. with all the violence that drug cartels bring into a society it makes it impossible to live safely and build a family there. Pretty soon Mexico is going to have mass amounts of people moving either out of those areas or to new countries. i think it is very important to invest in the safety.
