 Thankfully they got them. Maybe the road will be a little safer for a while.I like how quickly confessions are extracted once the suspects are
apprehended.
 Here's another link to the story.

 Yeah, quickest ballistic results I've ever heard of in Mexico. This was the first I'd heard that the victims were shot first.
 
 Insert Captain Renault's line from Casablanca here..............

 Gang of 5,  not related to cartels...   quick, efficient police work...
 
 Sacrificial idiots?   whatever.  Another good reason not to go to Mexico.    I am vacationing in Hawaii this year.

 Not really.     But then, the average tourist believes MX is a dangerous place.      I, personally, wouldn't be hanging in Sinaloa but that's me.     
This crime could happen anywhere including The Baja.     Low level thugs preying on tourists.
 
 Yeah Hawaii is great and in the United States.     No place like home.
 
 
 
 
 US Marines:   providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

 F*ck it.

 Good idea!  I'll just load up my dog and camp stuff, and drive there!
 
 
 
 
 If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
 "Could do better if he tried!"  Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers.  Sadly, still true!

 The US used to get rapid confessions at
Gitmo until Obama stopped the necessary tatics.
