I had no idea it would turn out to be a mild documentation of what is going on in Mexico.

When will all this absolute horror - a result of American drug consumption - finally dawn on us.

I've only heard of hanging victims from bridges happening in Italy before this, but the article says this has already been happening in other parts of Mexico away from Mexico City.

This clearly is more attention-getting. It must also indicate this stuff is intensifying, I would think. Their chances of being identified hanging the body from the bridge would be much higher for getting caught in a more highly populated area.

It's a very sad image, isn't it?

Thank you, Texas Towelie.

Fears of mafia activity in Mexico City rise after body hung from bridge

The residents of the Mexico City suburb of Iztapalapa woke up on Monday morning to a gruesome sight. Someone had hung the body of a man, who was wrapped up like a mummy in white bandages and had his face covered with a black mask, from a busy road bridge.

Motorists traveling near La Concordia – the bridge located on the highway between Mexico City and Puebla state – alerted authorities at around 4am, when they discovered the hanging body.

Prosecutors said the victim, who showed signs of having been tortured before he was shot twice in the head, appeared to be have been in his 30s.

The incident, no doubt, was a clear reminder of the extreme violence and sadistic killings that were common throughout Mexico when mafias terrorized communities during the height of the drug war.
