Tired of abductions, Mexican townsfolk kidnap drug boss’ mom

Star-Telegram: 

In one of the stranger chapters of Mexico’s drug war, angry people in a southern town kidnapped the mother of a gang leader to demand the release of their loved ones.

The government of Guerrero state said Tuesday that it was sending about 220 soldiers and police to try to defuse the situation in Totolapan.

The town has been controlled for years by a drug gang boss whose proper name is Raybel Jacobo de Almonte, but who is better known as “El Tequilero.”

De Alamonte has lived up to his nickname, which translates roughly as “The Tequila Drinker.” In his only known public appearance, he was captured on video drinking with the town’s mayor-elect. De Alamonte mumbles inaudibly and has to be held up in a sitting position by one of his henchmen.

[Yeah, I know, but every time I
type in, “the Tequila drinker,” Hillary’s picture comes up.]

In recent months, his gang – also known as the Tequileros -has been fighting turf battles with other gangs in the area. Last week, the Tequileros allegedly kidnapped several inhabitants of Totolapan who they wanted to extort or whom they suspected of supporting a rival.

In response, a few dozen men appeared this week in the streets of Totolapan waving shotguns and hunting rifles.

  1. mexico is so corrupt that the people have to take the law into their own hands

    i remember years ago that children were being abducted, molested, murdered in some town in mexico

    the government placed lookouts near the school

    the people did not believe that they were lookouts, so they took these men out into the street in fully lynch mob fashion and burned them alive

  2. I wonder just how much this gang boss loves his mother?
    He may need to sit down, have a drink-swallow the worm at the bottom of the bottle and debate with his gang, asking-if it were your mom ,what would you guys do?
