CNN report on the same:
Top officials in Mexico said Sunday that authorities at a prison released and armed several inmates to attack a group of people during a birthday celebration last week in a killing spree that left 17 dead.
Ricardo Najera, a spokesman for Mexico’s Interior Ministry said authorities allowed a group of inmates to leave the Cereso prison in Gomez Palacio, in Mexico’s Durango state, in police vehicles to launch an attack on revelers at a farm in Torreon in the neighboring state of Coahuila.
“The delinquents were committing their executions as part of a debt-settling scheme against members of rivaling groups from organized crime,” Najera said Sunday of the July 18 attack.
“Unfortunately, in these executions, these delinquents also cowardly murdered innocent civilians,” he said, adding that the inmates returned to the prison after the attack.
Four top Cereso Gomez Palacio prison workers — including the prison’s director — were named as suspects in the investigation, Najera said.
Mexico’s interior minister, Francisco Blake, said Sunday that the Gomez Palacio prison incident sheds light on Mexico’s tenuous security and the “deteriorating state” of Mexico’s local law enforcement.
“Today, it is evident that the Mexican state is facing an enormous challenge in security,” said Blake. He asked local authorities to monitor “the presumed complicity of local authorities” with criminal elements.
According to the U.S. State Department, many of the narcotics-related attacks in Mexico have occurred in the northern border region.[snip]

Thank you for the ping SwinneySwitch.
Man US citizens fail to study their history from the perspective of education instead of academics and this is a good specific area where it becomes manifest.
The Hebrew nation, some 3500 years ago began educating their younger generations as a method to teach a younger generation how to think. The Torah, instead of being associated with legalism, actually provided a Guide to Life with God. Education was a mechanism to instruct younger generation how to think so they could learn to live that life with God.
The Mexican culture, formed around the body of people of Mexico, or Mexican nation, has much of its historical roots from Latin and Pagan sources.
The Catholic Church has influence upon their thinking, convoluted with paganism (Day of the Dead, etc). The perspective of the Catholic Church is that they are the rulers of all personal property, since God gave that authority through Peter. This nicely explains why we see Liberation Theology emerge in communist Latin American nations from Catholic orders, which seems incredibly antiChristian.
In general, the Spanish influence in Mexico still placed power in the hands of an aristocracy, and authority is “GRANTED” down from the King.
Many middle class Mexicans and illegal aliens in the US have been educated, that is brought up in their culture to think in a fashion which recognizes the authority granted those in power, and remains obedient to that authority.
While they are in a lower class or position without social or political power, they are easily misidentified simply as hard workers seeking to earn a competitive wage in a region where the economics are more favorable. They are simply respecting and being obedient to “heffe”, but this is a different thinking pattern than US respect of legitimate authority and recognition of God given inalienable rights.
Mexicans rarely believe in the same rights which US citizens have accepted in our culture. When they are in charge, they violently suppress any opposing expression of opinion. They place higher respect for obedience to authority than to free speech or dissent.
Place a native Mexican in charge of an administrative section and see how quickly they insist all employees sign over issues which US citizens consider to be inalienable rights.
This all boils down to how different nations are different bodies of people who do not always think in the same fashion.
We rarely see any politician even recognize their differences in thinking from US citizens.
Around here many Mexicans seem to have the look of fear on
their faces when I see them in the store,,,
Many have green cards and are legal which is fine,,,
I started looking around and started to notice some that
had tattoos all over them,,,
Jail/gang types,,,
When they were in the store the other Mexicans always
stayed away from them and pulled their kids closer and
spoke to the kids in a low voice,,,
Now that store has a cop inside at all times,,,
The thug types are all gone for the most part,,,
FWIW : My parish leads the state in throwing illegals out
and sending them back where they came from,,,
All that said,,,
We have got to close that damned BORDER!!!,,,
They have open warfare going on down there,,,
There are threads here about the narco-terrs taking over
ranches in the Laredo,TX. area,,,
Unconfirmed...
I’m glad to hear that because only Mexicans can reshape Mexico.
“...This all boils down to how different nations are different bodies of people who do not always think in the same fashion.”
Which is precisely why IMO Globalization, One World is DOA.
It’s an aside from your point which is well taken, but had to throw that in there for some reason.
Thanks for your response.
God, don't give them ideas! They'll be renting out their prison hit teams, next.
It gives new resonance to that movie line, "Release the Kraken!"
You just posted the oilbummer administration.
Hows that? They won’t see it my way.
