Warning: It's gruesome, in that particularly Mexican fashion. Like !Alarma! times a hundred.

It looks like the killings were the work of the Zetas, in retaliation for the Sinaloa cartel's handiwork in Nuevo Laredo last week, where they hung nine people from a bridge and decapitated 14 others. Nuevo Laredo is Zetas territory, and Chapo Guzman wants it. Jalisco is long-time Sinaloa cartel territory.

A lot of tit for tat killing going on down in Sinaloa too, supposedly between what's left of the Beltran Leyva boys and their ex-partners, the Sinaloa cartel.

These guys are the Frankenstein's monsters of drug prohibition.
