Official's body found hanging from Tijuana bridge - Overblown coverage? Nope.


So is this piece of todays news over-inflated, sensationalized, or just the way things are in reality today?

Actually, it was edited from the UT print version to make it LESS sensational.

The print version had thess additions ommitted from the on-line version:

"Sanchez's body was found hanging from the Morelio bridge at 5:30 a.m. His head was covered by white bandages bound with duct tape, and his body showed signs of torture, including castration."

and

"The slaying appears to be not only a challenge to the Mexican army and to local, state and federal police forces, but also a message to residents. Thousands of people pass the bridge every morning on their way to school or work."

Even that version is edited. In the Spanish versions they are more explicit. He was castrated and his member shoved into his mouth. The side comments from the readers say that they think he gave the current photo of "El Teo" which appears on the cover of this week's Zeta magazine to them and he was punished for that. Just chismes right now.

There you go. Even the english and spanish versions are different. I did wonder who was going to pay the price for that cover photo of Teo.

Zeta Magazine, published in Tijuana, and "Los Zetas" are unrelated groups. Zeta Magazine is one of the few Mexican publications that "tells it like it is", at no small risk to its writers and publisher, that last one of which was assassinated.

You forgot this part of the story..
TIJUANA, Mexico — The mutilated body of a state official who authorities said was suspected of giving fake driver's licenses to drug gang members was found hanging from a bridge Friday in the Mexican border city of Tijuana.
Relatives identified the man as Rogelio Sanchez, a Baja California state official in charge of driver's licenses, said Prisma Perez, a spokeswoman for the state Attorney General's Office. Sanchez, 44, was kidnapped Wednesday as he left his home in Tijuana.
"The investigation indicates he had been giving licenses to organized crime," Perez said

Don't you mean the first one, or a partner? Hector Felix [Miranda ?]. I won't get into the Hank connection.
Blancornelas almost lost his life more than once. What a guy. Huge huevos. I think he died of natural causes, not lead poisening.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. [I know you will anyway] :lol:

Héctor Félix Miranda, Blancornelas' partner and co-founder was murdered. They ultimately pinned that on two of Hank Rhon's bodyguards. An editor of Zeta, Francisco Ortiz Franco, was also murdered. I think Blancornelas is surrounded by cops and soldiers 24/7.

They hung him from that bridge because so many people use it. If Teo starts executing and exposing every crooked offical in TJ they will need to build more bridges.

Los Zetas are mortal enemies of Teo's organization. And they have their own cartel, they don't work for anybody. This drug war has two sides: The Arellano Felix, Juarez, Zetas, and Beltran Leyva Organizations. And the Sinaloa gang, to wich Teo belongs.
