"That's no way to get ahead in the drug business."

Churchgoers attending Sunday morning Mass in Palomas, Mexico, discovered three severed heads in the town's main plaza, law enforcement officials said.
Eddie Espinoza, mayor of the town of Columbus, where many residents have family ties in Palomas just south of the border, said the horrific display by the perpetrators marked an intensification of the drug-related violence that had quieted somewhat in the area in recent months.
"Compared to the killings of the past, this has escalated to a more severe, gruesome kind of exhibition," Espinoza said.
After authorities were alerted to the presence of the heads in the plaza where a Catholic church sits, a badly charred sport utility vehicle containing the bodies of three headless victims was discovered south of town, said Columbus Police Chief Angelo Vega.
The killer or killers left a message with the severed heads that referred to the victims as extortionists, Vega said. The message essentially said the killers would not tolerate anyone else extorting local victims, that "it's our game, nobody else's," Vega said.
In the ongoing violence between warring drug cartels in Mexico, the public display of severed heads and decapitated bodies has become almost a commonplace horror in Ciudad Juárez and other parts of the country. "It's happened all over Mexico the last couple of years," said Ernie Ortiz, director of the New Mexico High-Intensity Drug-Trafficking Area office.

So, what you’re saying is Bill Richardson wants them to “HEAD on over!”
HAHAHA... uh... ew.
See, this is the kind of JOKE illegal immigration is. Deadly, disgusting and dangerous. It’s no laughing matter, yet the clowns who support illegal immigration are yucking it up.
Severed Heads Would be a great name for a Rock Band
"That's no way to get ahead in the drug business."
Competition is tough....................
Check out the number of narcotraficantes and other criminals from Mexico living in Columbus. Everyone knows who and where they are living, yet they have somehow managed to get legal residency papers from our government. What is wrong with this picture?
No worries.
We see heads separated from bodies ALL THE TIME in the United States. Pay no attention.
How ‘bout them Browns this year, folks?
Supported by drug addicted Americans.
We have taken a dirt road west out of El Paso that runs along the US Mexican border. At the time there was nothing but a rusty barbed wire fence separating the 2 countries. I'll bet that fence has rusted away by now.
I've also driven on that road, which is now paved. Driving at night, about 60 miles east of Columbus, I crossed a road at an intersection and the pavement stopped. Two cars then flashed their headlights at me. I noticed that they were Border Patrol vehicles. Seems I almost inadvertently drove into Mexico.
If you find one sitting on the shell of a turtle, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

It has been a few years ago but we also went into Mexico on that road. We drove into a dusty little bitty town, I don’t remember if I even knew the name. Not a border patrol in sight at that time.
I’m not familiar with the head on a turtle shell symbol.
What’s it mean/signify?
From a Breaking Bad episode. If I explain it, then I’d spoil the plot.
WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE IT IN FREEPMAIL.
I’m highly unlikely to ever see that. And wouldn’t care anyway.
He sleeps with the tortoises?
The Chinese would find that image quite . . . something . . .
IIRC, turtles there are a symbol of longevity.
LOL.
Mega ouch!
If HE sleeps with turtles,
He’d better be sure they’re not SNAPPING TURTLES!
Well, that’s one way to get more headroom.
