Mexico police find human heads dumped near Durango
Source: BBC

Eight human heads have been found in four locations outside the northern Mexican city of Durango.

The victims were men believed to have been aged between 25 and 30, the local prosecutor's office said.

Police found the heads after anonymous tip-offs, but had not identified the victims or found the bodies, the Durango state prosecutor's office said.

The state of Durango has been the scene of clashes in recent months between the rival Gulf and Sinaloa drug cartels.

Christian Book On Manly Aggression Inspires Violent Mexican Fundamentalist Narco-Cult

"My boys chew their graham crackers into the shape of handguns at the breakfast table." - John Eldredge, from Wild At Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul
What if your million copy-plus bestselling inspirational book calling on men to act more manly, aggressive, even violent became a key source of inspiration for a ruthless cultic Christian paramilitary fundamentalist crime syndicate that controls most of the Crystal Meth traffic in the US and is fond of tossing severed heads into Mexican discos ? You'd probably feel awful. Or at least a bit embarrassed. As a June 25th column in the Colorado Springs Gazette that sounds like it could have been written by satirists from The Onion, Local Christian author laments popularity of his book among ruthless Mexican gang, (the post has since been re-titled, to the milder "Mexican drug cartel co-opts Springs writer’s message") notes, "Writers can't control how readers interpret the words they write." Very true. But has La Familia really "co-opted" John Eldredge's paean to the glory of male aggression ?



We'll have a look at the book in question, Wild At Heart, by John Eldredge, in a moment. But first, a bit about the ruthless cultic Christian paramilitary fundamentalist crime syndicate fond of tossing severed heads into Mexican discos.

5. eh, don't let facts get in your way...
Mexico's literacy rate in 2005 was 96.7% and in Durango, it was 97.7%.
But please, continue posting BS opinions that have no basis in fact whatsoever, just to prove your point or to slam Mexico.

4. Maybe they get their cues from Kaiser Soze.
Having a willingness to do what the other guy won't - that there is no line they will not cross. That is what these narco-gangsters believe will get them to the pinnacle of the multi-billion dollar drug trade...they are probably right.
