CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO
At least eight inmates were killed and about 10 others injured on Saturday in a fight between gang members inside the municipal prison in the rough border city of Ciudad Juarez.
The fight involved rival factions of a single gang, the "Aztecas," either because of internal leadership disputes, or for control of the drug trade, local media reported.
In December, six inmates were stabbed or beaten to death at the same prison — which is located across the border from El Paso, Texas — in a clash between the Aztecas and a rival gang known as The Mexicles.
Saturday's fight started early in the morning and was controlled by police using tear gas, city officials said.
Officials gave no immediate information on the condition of the wounded, who included nine prisoners and one guard.

They're just doing the prison gang wars that Americans don't want to do.

I think we should do like the Romans and have our prisoners fight against each other in an arena.We could bring the toughest American prisoners and the toughest Mexicle prisoners together and make it something like the World Series.

This right here is our new globalism. According to Lou Dobbs, there are over 200 different gangs in the US. They caught a few gang members in Florida this week. They only lack about 1700 gang members. The UN is doing the same thing they have been doing for the last 50 years. Sitting on their butts.
