Deadly attack on casino in Monterrey, Mexico
In broad daylight.
At least 20 people have been killed and eight injured in an attack on a casino in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey.
Armed men broke into the building and set it alight, but it is not clear whether the fire was caused by grenades, or an arson attack.

Not sure of the final number, but one I just read said 45 dead.

Latest count from 8 minutes ago is 53 dead and dozens injured. Brutal act. Monterrey is normally one of the more peaceful cities.

You can have several acts of violence. Once in awhile though, something just flips a switch and people decide enough of that shit.

Don't know when that will happen, or if it will happen here though. Or if the conditions are adequate for such a thing.

It takes a lot to get over the fear. Most civilians are unarmed in Mexico, and the gangsters make sure they torture their victims and deface the bodies so that people remain afraid.

The publisher of Zeta Tijuana has said that if he had his life to live over he wouldn't publish this newspaper. It stood up to the government corruption, but the personal cost in terror and seeing his friends murdered was too high. However, at this point he has published it for so many years, that if he stopped and let his bodyguards go, he would still be murdered.

Oh, it's a very dangerous place. I've been killed twice already :P



So, after being killed the first time, you actually went back? Everyone who is blessed with multiple lives, please feel free to go there.

Just read where a casino down there was shot up by drug cartel and set on fire. Right during the middle of the day. At least 53 killed. If Nareed was one of those consider it 52.

Texas Family Killed in the state of Veracruz.

Three of the seven victims of a highway attack this week in the Mexican state of Veracruz were American citizens, officials said. A mother and her two daughters, dual Mexican-U.S. citizens who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, were aboard one of three buses that were attacked by gunmen in the city of Panuco (330 miles from Brownsville TX), in the northern part of Veracruz. The Americans were Maria Sanchez Hernandez, 39, and her two daughters, Karla, 19, and Cristina, 13.

The family was visiting relatives for Christmas.
