(Reuters) - The bodies of 23 people were found hanging from a bridge or dismembered in ice boxes and garbage bags in northeastern Mexico on Friday, in an escalation of brutal violence involving rival drug gangs on the U.S. border.

In a first incident, the bodies of five men and four women were found hanging from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo, in Tamaulipas state just across the border from the Texas city of Laredo.

Police could not confirm who was responsible for the murders but a message seen with the bodies indicated it may have been an attack by the Zetas cartel against the rival Gulf cartel.

Hours later, police found the dismembered corpses of 14 people in garbage bags and ice boxes dumped near the police station of Nuevo Laredo, police investigators said.

1. so long as drugs are illegal they will be profitable, and such wars will continue nt

3. I doubt cocaine will be sold in liquor stores or the giant box store pharmacy

Mexico has a drug problem moving coke across the border since the fighting over 'wiggle room' shrinks,fewer cartels can turn a big tax free profit.

Maybe mexico need to lead the way and legalize coke. Just a thought

2. "Oh,Mexico! It sounds so simple I just gotta go."

A beautiful country being terrorized.

How sad.

5. baby's hungry and the money's all gone

Any parrot heads willing to catch a finland concert across the border?
Does Jimmy even perform along the border ?

4. OK, but we have a comittment to stay

in Afghanistan until 2024. Plus, we make money from these cartels. I mean, who wouldn't want that.

But i'm just a dumb American who thinks this is the right thing to do...give em more guns.

I think Arizona and Mexico should just sit down and hash it out. Drug cartels and teahadists have much in common.

6. Absolutely NUTS.....this is crazy land....

when will this change...?????

7. Poor Mexico. So close to the United States and so far from God. nt

8. Ay, Caramba, We Don't Know

...who the dead are, or who did it, and why so many more than usual. We've stood by across the border as tens of thousands have been killed in Mexico, hand wringing, while thousands of free market capitalists are doing their thing in the nearby heart of darkness.

(Puttin' on the tin foil hat) This is far from the whole story. Lots of fake notes accompany dead bodies. Lots of torture, murder and general drug mayhem are right down the road from our own FBI field offices in San Antonio and Corpus Christi. Come ON, fourteen chopped bodies around the Nuevo Laredo police station? The jurisdictional limits are bullshit; our law enforcement can and do go wherever, whenever. But you don't see U.S. law enforcement jumping, do you, nor Mexican.

This comes out of Reuters, the network of the world's owners who would wish to distract by shocking our countries into some good guy-bad guy drug narrative. There's something else going on, and no one's able yet to connect the dots. But think about it. Wells Fargo's Texas money laundering, cartels, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, separated by some competitive free market thuggery. Somebody's benefitting from these kinds of atrocities, and it's not just summer concert tokers.

Where is the complete story. (tin foil hat still on) Let's keep our radar out.
