"wenty-four corpses were found bound and shot execution-style in the Mexican city of Atlapulco on Friday, according to Humberto Benitez, secretary-general of government in the State of Mexico.
A criminal investigation is now under way to determine if the killings were a result of organized crime, a news release from Mexico's attorney general said Friday.
Atlapulco is just south of Mexico City.
The killings come roughly two weeks after tens of thousands of Mexicans marched on the nation's capital calling for greater government action to prevent the wave of violent crime sweeping the country.
Non-governmental groups estimate there have been more than 1,500 killings in Mexico this year linked to organized crime.
In late August, Mexican President Felipe Calderon met with the country's 32 governors to develop a plan to battle the nation's alarming rise in violent crime."

Who would shoot a perfectly good corpse, and why?
I don’t know if there are travel warnings from our state department concerning Mexico, but there should be.
Obviously suicides. No organized crime or drug cartel indications here.
Move along, move along.
Well let's see ... that didn't seem to work.
Perhaps ten's of thousands storming the presidents palace, and lynching him might help?
Just a suggestion, is all.
Since January, more than 1,300 people have been killed in execution-style hits or gunned down in fire fights, which often rage for hours in broad daylight and turn residential neighbourhoods into war zones. If the trend continues, 2008 will top last year's toll of 2,500 deaths in drug-related killings.You don't hear so much about Americans at the Border. Too bad.
More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says Think about it. A man or woman killed in Iraq or Iran in the line of duty is a hero. But what is an American killed at home by an illegal alien because the government has failed in its sworn duty to guard the borders. This is a pact between the sovereign and the person has paid taxes and loyalty. The answer is to that question is pretty awful. And it bodes ill for the republic.
But is it true?
Yes, according Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.
Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.
Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans--but by no means all -- being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.
Why isn't there an outcry in the black community? Beats me.
Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs. One woman in San Francisco who had her family killed by an illegal is even demanding the city to drop its sanctuary city status.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. If you check the links you'll notice that its McCain who cites Chertoff. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.
However the number of illegals on death row is far lower. Sadly, so many small towns and villages across America have sent their warriors off to war half way across the world only to see communities fill up with illegal aliens.
Makes you amazingly angry. Amazingly. The single biggest issue for me over the last several years has been illegal immigration and yet again I know that no matter what happens in the election we will have a president who doesn’t give a darn about doing anything about the problem. Heck both have been for amnesty for criminal invaders. Most Americans when polled agree with me. Why won’t congress and the executive branch follow along?
That was my thought. What an odd headline.

I don’t know, I am still trying to figure out why so many are still flogging the dead horse of socialism!
Haven’t you heard? We’re just a miniscule minority who have no chance of stopping illegal immigration. It must be true because one of our new improved liberal newbtards says so.

Perhaps the shooter was only after one of the corpses and shot the others because they were would-be witnesses?
most likely suicides, vince foster shot himself twice in the head with his weak hand.
hunting accident?
Border programs have been remarkably ineffective. There are extra funds for local law enforcement to spot check for drugs entering, and for drug money leaving, the US. All the revision points are set up on the south bound lanes of the highway. Nobody wants to confiscate drugs. Let the drugs come in and then grab the money before it leaves.
This makes local law enforcement accomplices in illegal drug traffic.
Your tax dollars at work.
Larry the Cable Guy shot his horse 'cause it broke its leg. He said if it didn't get better by next week, he's gonna shoot it again!
Not sure why you need to bind a corpse you plan to shoot. They don’t usually have a lot of mobility.

“most likely suicides, vince foster shot himself twice in the head with his weak hand.”
I’m sure you’re kidding, but if you’re not, do you have a cite for the “twice” part?
