lol maniosos
Have you guys been hearing about it too? You spring breakers better stay the on our side of the border...
Apparently there is an open war going on between the Zeta's and the Manioso's (Gulf Cartel)...The federales have apparently just left town and are letting them fight it out...supposedly dozens if not hundreds dead in the last week...it's house to house fighting with machine guns, grenade launchers etc. Supposedly a pile of bodies was burned in the town square of Reynosa two days ago and they have dead bodies hanging from telephone poles everywhere down there...apparently it's raging in several towns from Valle Hermoso to Cuidad Miquel Aleman...
The mexican media is afraid to cover it because they are afraid they will be assassinated...

Miguel Aleman? Damn, I used to WW hunt with an outfit there on Sugar Lake. Haven't thought about that place in a long time.
I was actually planning on goin to McAllen for SB. Prolly stop over in Las Flores for some tacos, elote, Victoria/Indio, etc...
[nervous gulp]
Damn. I used to go partying in Reynosa all the time back in the mid to late 90s when I was in school in McAllen. We'd just take a skip day and go across for cheap bottles and tortas every now and then too. It was always fairly peaceful and we never had issues, I can't imagine seeing it like this now. That's messed up.
Still go! Bring me back some chanclas.
Bodies hanging from telephone poles? Wow...
We had a high school teacher from SoCal go down there and get executed while vacationing in his wife's hometown...caused quite the uproar...
where's the War on Drugs at?
It failed the day it was thought up...
crazy border towns but i hear it's getting bad deeper in too.
It didn't fail at imprisoning millions of Americans.
And even though all of that horrible is going on, I bet there will be some spring breakers stupid enough to go there. Then their parents will be on TV crying wondering what happened to their stupid kids.
It doesn't matter what side of the border you are on, if it's Spring Break, you have a vagina, and access to alcohol...the maniosos WILL find you.
True that it imprisoned a great deal of Americans, but even in those imprisonments--there were flaws and inconsistencies in the laws that were supposedly created to end the drug problem in the U.S.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is an Manioso?
Here's what's being written via the Valley Monitor from McAllen yesterday:
Reynosa leaders speak out about recent shootings
REYNOSA — City authorities are providing information about recent military confrontations in an attempt to quell rumors spread through the social networking site Twitter.
Last week the residents of Reynosa, Miguel Aleman, Valle Hermoso, Matamoros had been shaken by rumors of shootings in their communities.
Reynosa Mayor Oscar Luebbert confirmed a shooting occurred in that city the afternoon of Feb. 22 and a grenade that was launched at the police department the following Wednesday. The Mexican Navy confirmed other shootings. No other authority has spoken out.
On Monday morning, leaders said Reynosa had been quiet over the weekend through twitter that can be followed by http://twitter.com/dirdegobreynosa.
Authorities from the state of Tamaulipas have not confirmed any of the shootings reported earlier, including those reported last week. Gov. Eugenio Hernandez Flores said he was just informed that more federal law enforcement were coming into his state.
But witnesses said they saw at least two convoys of soldiers, with a total of 40 vehicles, on their way to Reynosa. A person at the Eighth Military Zone of the Mexican Army confirmed that the military presence in Reynosa was reinforced.
In a press release the Secretariat of Defense reported that its soldiers detected a confrontation between organized crime groups in the intersection that connect the towns of Camargo and Comales, south of Rio Grande City.
There were no arrests made, the release states, but 22 vehicles —Luck_The_Fakers_ including two armored vehicles — were seized.
The soldiers also seized six assault rifles more than 2,000 rounds, five homemade bombs, one grenade launcher, 95 magazines of ammunition, 28 grenades and one hand grenade.
The army said the public can report an incident by calling 011 (52) 899 926-7092; or send an e-mail to [email protected] or [email protected]

REYNOSA, MEXICO - A new intelligence report obtained by CHANNEL 5 NEWS says the recent violence along the border started with the murder of a Zeta leader on January 18th.
The Zetas blamed the Gulf Cartel and demanded they hand over the killer.
When they refused the Zetas then kidnapped 16 Gulf Cartel Members in Miguel Aleman.
That led to the shootouts up and down the border last week.
The report says the violence may not be over. It says the Gulf Cartel has now joined forces with La Familia Michoacana and the Sinaloa Cartel to fight the Zetas.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS will continue to monitor the situation.
Excellent!
Hopefully this doesn't mean that herb premiums increase too much or causes a drought.

At least five attacks took place in Nuevo Laredo and the state of Nuevo Leon over the weekend, led apparently by members of the Gulf cartel who allegedly drove from the Matamoros-Reynosa area in search of members of the Zetas, according to the U.S. intelligence official. Their convoy included 20 SUVs with the logo, "CdG [Gulf Cartel]" and "X" plastered on the backs of the vehicles to distinguish themselves from the Zetas. The vehicles carried an undetermined number of heavily armed men.
Using grenade launchers, they struck police installations, according to accounts that couldn't be independently confirmed by authorities in Mexico City.
This sounds intense yo.
Well it didn't fail at calming the violence in Colombia and pushing it up closer to us.
Oh so Chapo Guzman has more allies...
The violence was self-created with the introduction to cheaper, faster, easier-to-make highs. (i.e. crack and black tar heroin). The code was; to make money the fastest and protect your interests by any means necessary. Columbia was/is still enshrouded in violence, but not as bad as Mexico as the Mexican cartels cut out, for the most part, their ties to the Columbian cartels.
Damn... I have a friend headed to Monterey Thursday, I better warn him.
To be honest, if you're getting your herb from Mexican sources--you're not getting quality smoke. But then again, I don't know how its done in Texas. I just know where the sources are out here.
That's interesting---I did wonder when I posted that if maybe it's just that because of the increasing violence in Mexico, we're just not hearing about Colombia.
