CADEREYTA JIMENEZ, Mexico | Mon May 14, 2012 12:01am EDT

(Reuters) - Suspected drug cartel killers in Mexico dumped 49 headless bodies on a highway near the northern city of Monterrey, a sickening atrocity that prompted the government to condemn the "inhuman" violence plaguing the country.

The corpses of 43 men and six women, whose hands and feet had also been cut off, were found in a pile on a highway in the municipality of Cadereyta Jimenez early on Sunday, officials from the state of Nuevo Leon said.

The Nuevo Leon government said the notorious Zetas drug gang had claimed responsibility for the bloodbath, one of the worst to hit Mexico during its struggle against the powerful cartels.

The massacre follows several other mass slayings in Mexico. Many have occurred in the north, where the Zetas have waged a war against rival groups for control of smuggling routes into the United States, the biggest market for illicit drugs.

1. This is what people should think about every time they use illegal drugs.

This is the cost for their high.

2. I also accept responsibility for all environmental atrocities when I post on the intertubes.

It's my insatiable need for Power, don't you know.

Or is it cool when my legal activities have unintended consequences leading to death?

I wonder how many people I'm murdering every day?

3. Buying American grown marijuana produces violence in Mexico? n/t

[Taverner]

4. I second that

As per Heroin, Cocaine, Meth, etc - if they were LEGAL, there would be no DRUG VIOLENCE

When's the last time you saw violence from liquor distributors?

[ellisonz]

8. Not exactly.

Heroin is largely produced in Afghanistan, Cocaine in Columbia, and Meth is just evil.

But legalizing American grown marijuana would do more good than harm.

9. solution.....legalize pot

This is something lawmakers should think about everyday that they keep pot illegal.

This is the cost for them fighting this losing battle.

5. Cadereyta massacre was part of Los Zetas Mothers Day plot

"The 49 individuals found butchered on a remote section of highway east of Cadereyta, Nuevo Leon Sunday may have been the victims of a Los Zetas plot for a spectacular Mother's Day massacre, according to information taken from Mexican press accounts, private emails and other sources."

6. Those Americans that use drugs are actually responsible for these murderers aand should feel quilty.

If we in America didn't require so many drugs...there wouldn't be such a great demand and the cartels would earn less money... therefore less competition for their business.

10. do you also believe

That abstaining is the solution for unwanted pregnancy?

In the " leave it to Beaver" neighborhood, I suppose that works.

11. I reject that. The blame for prohibition-related violence lies at the feet of the prohibitionists.
