Reuters AlertNet – Gunmen kill jail director in Mexico border city 500 dead so far in Mexico as the country turns into the next Colombia and US policy allows the USA to go next.

MONTERREY, Mexico, May 24 (Reuters) – Unknown gunmen killed the director of a jail in the Mexican border city of Mexicali early on Tuesday, the latest in a wave of slayings to rock Mexico, authorities said.

Baja California state prosecutors said pistol-toting assailants fired five shots at Eduardo Villalobos as he left his home in the city, which lies south of the border from Calexico, California.

Villalobos was formerly the head of the police organized crime task force in Mexicali, a notorious hub in the cross-border trade in cocaine, marijuana and amphetamines.

    Unbelievably scary. When will we learn? If prohibition didn’t teach us anything… Don’t get me wrong I don’t think people should use drugs, but legalization is the only thing I can see to curb the violence.

    This stuff happens every day in Mexico. It has to be one of the most lawless places in the world. I used to be a probation officer in Arizona. Most of my caseload were Mexican nationals that were here working on farms. One of my probationers went to Mexico to visit his family over a weekend and never came back. This guy was only on probation for a misdemeanor DUI so he had no reason to abscond.

    One of his relatives came to visit me a couple of weeks later to tell me what had happened to him. She brought newspaper clippings from Mexico to back up her story. The clippings included pictures. It’s pretty horrifying so read on at your own discretion.

    My probationer had gone to visit his brother. The police were called to wherever they were for some unknown reason. My probationer’s brother got into some kind of argument with the police. The police proceeded to beat him into unconsciousness and arrested him. My probationer went to the jail to find out what had happened. He got angry when he saw how badly his brother had been beaten. He also argued with the police about it so they beat him and threw him in the same cell as his brother. The police then proceeded to throw gasoline on both of them, lit them on fire, and burned them to death in the jail cell. The local newspaper had a picture of the two burned bodies in the jail cell and a story about how the officers were being investigated for murder. It still makes me sick remembering the pictures from that newspaper.

    This type of violence is bleeding across the border more and more. Over half of the murders in Tucsn are unsolved because the victims are unidentified Mexicans killed in drug-related incidents. How many people have to die before our government will do something to stem this tide? We obviously haven’t reached the magic number yet.

    Why did we overthrow a corrupt regime in Iraq when Mexico is much closer and has oil too?
