Mayor’s Beheading Is Ominous Sign of Security Crisis Facing Mexico’s New President

Insight Crime; Unknown assailants murdered and decapitated the recently elected local mayor of a major city in southwest Mexico less than a week after he took office, highlighting the gargantuan task the country’s new president faces in tackling an increasingly dire public security situation.

Authorities found the severed head of Alejandro Arcos Catalán on October 6, lying atop a white vehicle on the east side of Chilpancingo, the capital of southwest Guerrero state. His body was left in the front passenger seat.

Arcos took office on September 30 after he was elected in June representing a coalition of opposition parties that unseated the ruling Morena party. Omar García Harfuch, the public security secretary appointed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, told reporters that Arcos was on his way, alone, to a meeting in Petaquillas, a town just south of the capital where criminal factions linked to the Ardillos gang maintain control.  more here

  1. I used to read, “Fred on Everything.” Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico was his home base. I thought the cartel stuff was in northeast Mexico, but apparently it is everywhere. In recent years, Fred has been bumbling around in the U.S., not the third world shithole on our southern border.

  2. Rest assured that, most likely, a majority of “immigrants” have cartel connections. These are people who share a level of brutality not understood by Americans. They have no problem exercising methods that will horrify Americans, absolutely no regard for human life and no fear whatsoever of law enforcement. Biden / Harris allowing this invasion by the worst will eventually produce an overwhelming level of violence never seen before in this country. People should examine their ability to to respond to this crises accordingly.
