(CNN) -- Twelve to 15 bodies showing signs of torture were found on the side of a remote highway in the Mexican state of Michoacan, the state attorney general's office told CNN en Español. Authorities were still arriving at the scene Monday evening to verify the exact body count, officials said. The discovery follows coordinated attacks in at least eight cities in Michoacan that killed three federal police officers and two soldiers Saturday in what officials called an unprecedented onslaught by drug gangs. The bodies found Monday were in the same place where four bodies showing signs of torture were dumped in June, the Universal newspaper reported. [Source:cnn.com]
First of all, let me applaud the mexican police for doing something other than beating up and extorting money from drunken frat assholes on spring break. Not that I'm against that mind you. I think anyone seen in a puca-shell necklace or smelling like an Axe product should automatically be assaulted on doucheyness alone. Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Mexico's decline into something out of the Book of Eli. This is a bad time to find oneself in the midst of a social apocalypse. America can't help you right now. We've got way too much of our own to deal with - the failing economy, multiple wars, the VH1 reality show lineup - I'd say hold off on the no holds barred drug wars until we get our shit together. Otherwise, you're on your own and...well...no offense, but...you're MEXICO.
