In august of 2008 my brother in law was assinated in Acapulco. He was a taxi driver for over 30 years and refused to be a halcon for the local
cartel. So they hired his taxi one night and had him drive into the country where they pulled a gun on him and made him get out. His body was found
several days later stuffed into the trunk of his own taxi he had been tortured then shot in the head. These same cartels then threatened his eldest
son who was also a taxi driver. Eventually the family packed what belongings they could into two pick up trucks, 9 of them, three men two women and
four children, leaving everything behind that they had (very nice home) and drove here to Loreto that september. They didn't like it here so a few
weeks later they returned to the mainland to settle in PV. Most of them have since gone to the USA on refugee status.
I am sorry for your loss wooosh this war has affected many of us and it is senseless.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. The world is a smaller place. We are all losing something to these terrorists, all of us. I am so sad to hear
this. So much senseless violence, soul numbing violence, so many good people gone and now those left living with fear.

Not on this plain of existence. They mostly get away with it and murder others with almost total impunity. The legal system in Mexico is totally
dysfunctional.

I've gotten a handful of U2U's from Nomads who have been through similar experiences. We also had a cousin chased out of his TJ hardware business a
few years back with detailed threats involving their children. They left for a year and went back to the same business with no problems since. You
never know when they get the bad guys- no one calls "All ye all ye Outs in free" when the danger is over for you and it's safe to return to life.
When you file a formal complaint with the PGJE they never tell you the outcome either. The screwed up legal system keeps everyone in fear- there is
no relief- even when it "works", it doesn't.
I don't understand why the torture and dismemberment is necessary. Why torture a taxi driver or food stand owner? Are these the kids who tortured
animals or were abused themselves growing up? They made a hood ornament out of my cousins head- for what?

It's "Terror." Makes the next victim more submissive. It must work....they keep doing it.
This country needs to arm her citizens and instruct them in Vigilantism. Otherwise, the people will remain sheep to be slaughtered.
Why would one open a taco stand in Juarez? Could it be that it was more than a taco stand,or somebody thought it was? There's got to be more to this,
I can't believe he wasn't aware of his surroundings having lived in Monterey. When you choose to hang in that environment s*** happens, deserved or
undeserved. Just trying to be realistic no offence intended.

Since the young man is dead and gone, I think that question should go unasked here.

The author could have
said he lost his cousin. But instead he elaborated on his demise, that leaves it open to discussion. Jesse asked the question and no response.
Everyone gets ripped on this forum, is woooosh an exception because there has been so much tragedy in his life with all of his relatives always in
some sort of peril.

The question serves no purpose since, as you know only too well, there are no answers. Dredging through the possibilities would only be painfull for
those suffering the loss at this time, or any time, and it's no more than a sick effort to bring reason to a gruesome crime when it makes absolutly no
sense to even want to know.
Why would you even want to open this can of worms while the body still gives off heat? Does it matter?
Poor taste comes with the message board format and you just file it away- even when it's family. After a few pages of comments most everyone who is
current on the board and interested has read/replied- after that it often goes downhill.
I asked a few cousins and a local nephew today why they tortured and decapitated him even when there is no grudge involved. They said it was to set
an example to pay the monthly fees the cartel or whoever is in charge of the area demands. A five thousand dollar a month payment was in the
"average" range they said- so this is nothing new or a big secret. I had thought they saved the barbarism for their real enemies, and civilly
executed (strange word combination) the others, but that's not the case. I would wonder too if there were drugs or if something else was involved
because of what they did to him- but that's just what they do to everyone now. It was a stupid place for him to to open a restaurant but I would
imagine that city does have many living restaurant owners. I think he really didn't like the kid who drove up in the new sports car and demanded the
money. Even so, he took the kid seriously. The restaurant threat was a few months ago and I think he wasn't worried an more when they got him. A
lot of Mexicans get chased out of business apparently. Makes it hard to start a middle class, doesn't it?
