Off With Your Heads!

In Mexico their has been an ongoing battle dealing with illegal drug wars that has gone a little too far.

Five heads were discovered in separate ice chest near a road, underneath a ficus tree in the state of Jalisco.

The five individuals in this particular brawl are few among the several thousand of people who have been killed due to this ongoing drug war.

Over 7,000 Mexican soldiers have been sent to several different areas to possibly help maintain the killings and findings of decapitated heads that seem to continue to grow over time.

On each box, inscribed messages ensured that further threats and violence will persist if the battle continues on.

"Like these, I am going to finish everyone," one box says. "I'm going after you, 'Goyo.'"

The victims' eyes were taped shut and all of them were reported to be men, between the ages of 30 and 45 years old.

President Obama has spoken out about the horrible incident that has taken place in Central Mexico, saying that the U.S Military can help Mexico with its rising drug war violence.

  1. Well, this is a graphic way to get a reading audience's attention about the nastiness of the drug business. It's also a look at the other side, and how the devastation caused by drug use is felt by both the sellers and the users. If there wasn't such a profit incentive, then there wouldn't be such gruesome consequences for the competition, and I'm assuming the victims were competitors or thieves. I don't know what the answer is, but sending in the military to help is probably a futile gesture. When big money and corrupt people are mixed together, the end result is often volatile.

  2. that article was extremly disturbing. I mean I realize that there are horribly violent things happening all over the world everyday. I pray everyday that people will find more humanity in themselves and rise above violence and destructive behavior. But, manslotter has been a human trend since the beginning on time. I have heard about so much violence coming out of Mexico is very sad.
