La Despidida Bar? Don't go to the Despidada unless you're ready to be sent-off.

United States NEEDS to investigate Héctor Agustín Murguía Lardizábal, former mayor of Juarez.

This can't be, gun ownership is illegal in Mexico isn't it?

Damn, we used to go drink at the bars in Juarez all the time when I was a kid.

Ya see the thing here is, guns ARE outlawed in Mexico, thats why ONLY the outlaws, gangsters, cartels have guns. If the peons of Mexico are going to DEFEND(??) themselves, all the hell they get is a little pinata bat. Now, I know that the Mexico Governemnt, the Cartels think this is enough for these peons to have in their hands against automatic weapons. Guess just seems little one-sided to ME. Then of course, if you got several MILLION hungry, poor people with pinata bats, could start a Peon REVOLUTION. But then again, the Cartels, Government would never allow that to happen.

I've told them and told them, "stay outta the bars in Juarez, it's bad for your health", but do they listen, NO. It's just all fun and games til 7, 15, 30 people have cerveza running out of 20 AK47 holes in their body. I bet these are the same fools still going to rehab centers also. Hell, just go lay on the train tracks, less pain and "you" never know what hit you. FAST!!!!

[Confused]

Someone needs to make a movie about this, I do not understand how more people are killed in Juarez in one year than in Iraq or Afghanistan. Calderon really stirred the pot. I do not see how anyone still lives in Juarez.

Can't go out at night, always have to worry about being caught in the crossfire. These people need to take back their city. Wait maybe they have.

Down in Nuevo Laredo(across from Laredo, Texas), they have a mutual cease-fire. The Cartel, Zetas are in control of the city, but they let the Mexican Police keep the vehicles and just drive around, acting like they are doing something. Apparently the "cease-fire" was not good for the Mexican Army, so guess no soldiers are there to take the city back. They say their is no violence beause no one will go up against the Zetas. They own the people, they own the city. Is the same thing going to happen in Juarez, the rest of the country?? Will the cartels, the Zetas over-throw the Mexican Government country-wide???

If the US would legalize cannabis and work out a deal with the cartels to buy the stuff from them under certain strict conditions, there might be an end to this carnage.

Come to think of it, they should do the same to ELP and turn it into a cool desert city like Tucson or Phoenix.

Okay so which cartel would they buy from?? Ju goin to buy from the meanest gangsters wit the biggest guns and they goin to kill ju if ju buy mota from somebody else. Maybe ju goin to buy from the cartel got da best mota and cheapest price, but they got no guns. So how they goin to sell da best mota and da cheapest price if they got no guns?? Los vatos that got the guns goin to kill them if they try to have better sales, no?? So es legale or no legale, somebody goin to have da bizness and somebody goin to get killed.
