Mexico saw no thaw in its gang-related violence on Christmas Day — the chilling remains of six decapitated heads were discovered in a town in the western part of the country.
...Michoacan ... police have not yet identified the victims and have also been unable to find their bodies. The heads were discovered on Sunday in a municipality near the state of Jalisco– in Jiquilpan, a region with a history of violence in recent years due to competing drug gangs,...
In another two separate incidents, also on Christmas but in other regions, a total of 16 people were killed in gun-related violence presumed to have been motivated by drug-related violence.
Of the 16, seven people were massacred in the municipality of Atoyac de Alvarez, in the southern state of Guerrero. The victims included five men from the same family, as gunmen enter the house where the victims were gearing up to celebrate Christmas. Three brothers, their father and their uncle were shot dead according, to AP. A married couple ... were also killed.
Out of the seven that were killed, two were municipal police officers and one a state police officer, according to state security spokesman ... Preliminary investigations suggest that the gunmen were motivated by revenge and had attempted to target only one individual but eventually ended up killing bystanders.
In another incident on Christmas, nine people were killed in Chihuahua state....five of the nine, including three women who were killed in Ciudad Juarez, were tortured first.
Guerrero and Acapulco in particular have for decades been known to add to Mexico's reputation as a notoriously unsafe place due to drug-related violence.
In the five years since former Mexican president Felipe Calderon began to use the military to combat the country's powerful drug cartels, some 50,000 people have been killed.

Fine, what shall we call their heads... random heads
The British were the best and most humane colonizers.
“Severed” works too.
No. A body that is decapitated has had its head removed. The word “decapitated” has as its root the Latin word for “head”. The writer should have described them as “severed heads”.
Two of my good friends - my church choir members - are from Michoacán and Acaculpo. It is so bad there. Thirty years ago, when my friends were young, it was just incredibly poor. Now it is beheaded corpses in the town square.
Marana tha!
Great flick ...
Feliz Ah No Head more...
Man people just can’t seem to get a(HEAD) in Mexico!
Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like severed heads......
Thank you, I have never seen that. LOL Really funny though.
I earlier on FR read that Hezbollah is active in messyco in the drug trade. Chopping off heads also sounds like a raghead tactic.
[[How does a head become “decapitated”?]]
By taking a leave of absence
The sign said “Stop Ahead” So i stop- look, but don’t see no head- stupid sign
Jalisco used to be nice.
Or decorpsed heads.
Ever worry about slipping on marbles that the kids spilled on the floor? It's like that, only different.
Sounds like it’s time to reduce head count.
I fish various bits of Lego persons out of each load of wash. “Oh, look: two torsos and a set of legs!”
