    Nobody else applied.
    A town near drug cartel capital Juarez, Mexico, had just one applicant for police chief after a spate of killings of public officials in drug-related violence.

    So now the new chief in Guadalupe, a town of 10,000 residents near the Texas border, is 20-year-old college criminology major Marisol Valles García.

    Mexico is nuts. Used to work with a guy who was previously in the federal level anti-drugs force, in the city he worked in previous to being part of the drugs force he told me on average there was about 10-15 cops killed a week, and this was a small city, no bigger than 400-500,000 I think.

    So that's 520 to 780 cops a year?

    I doubt it to be honest.

    I know a few people from Juarez and was there once. It is an absolute misery of a place. A little game the drug cartel lads like to play involves stopping at green lights and waiting to see the response of the car behind. If the people behind don't beep their horn they get 100 bucks and if you beep them you get shot. True story. Happens in Nogales too.

    Theres a good chance this lad will be killed if he makes any public shows of action against the cartels too. A police chief in Nogales was killed the day after making one. He was only in the job two or three days.

    I never thought I'd find a police chief attractive;)

    Q: Why did the Mexican push his wife down the stairs?







    A: Tequila.

    Not so much

    Why did the Mexican cross the road? To get to the other side.

    Pity he didn't make it.

    She won't be for long.

    Her plan, such as it is, is to be an unarmed police force.

    I'm not entirely convinced that the drug cartels will note the distinction. The investigator who was sent to look into the shooting of a US jetskier on a border lake earlier this month had his head mailed to the Mexican Army. Those sort of people aren't likely to stand upon principle, except for the principle that the only good cop is a dead one.

    I grew up in El Paso, Texas and we used to go down the Juarez all the time. I remember going down to the orphanages to bring toys and clothes to the kids when I was about 6 or 7. It's horrible to see what the U.S. "war on drugs" (war on competition) has done to Mexico. The U.S. has so much to answer for but I'm afraid they never will.

    Yeah, the entire country is in the grip of a gang war of epic proportions. Normally when you think of gang wars in the Americas you think teenagers with uzis and colourful bandanas.

    These guys, on the other hand, manufacture their own submarines.

    Here are a few images to give an idea of the scale of the problems, and a map over time here. If the national army can't deal with something, you know you've got problems.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭plein de force


    so how long do you all think before she gets killed?

    a month
    6 months?

    Depends how long the local headers think its funny, I suppose.

    That job might as well be considered suicide.

    I doubt any of this worldwide coverage will do her any favours.

    20:eek:

    I'm 19 and I know if I started to hunt down ganglords at 20 here the mother would give me a clatter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    She's going to die a terrible terrible death.
    That is unless she's working for the gangs, then she'll be getting high on coke all the time and getting two salaries.

    I doubt she will be very attractive once the Mexican drug barons is finish with her.
    She must be a suicide candidate if you ask me.:rolleyes:

    I'd say some police will still carry guns. It's this plan that makes me think that she's working for the cartel.

    Jiminy Willickers, she is so dead. Cue her eventually getting shot to death at a road stop, chopped up and then left in the middle of the street.

    Or hung from a bridge with a warning sign written on her.

    The cartel boys are a bunch of sick fùckers with quite the disregard for human life.

    A "mexican police chief" has a life expectancy of about ten days.

    Thats why nobody wants the job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    as nodin said i hope they just kill her. its horrible seeing some of the stuff these sick fu.cks do. i'd hate to see that pretty face 30 feet across the road from the rest of her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    So, some bureaucratic board appointed her as she was the only applicant. They have blood of their hands as she is so naive to think she can face up to the drugs gangs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    If things are getting so bad why don't they get the military in to sort out the cartels?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok

    They are, have you not heard? Thousands of troops have been poured into the affected areas and the killings still go on, in fact its got worse other than the capture of a few heads(of cartels that is!)!

    28000+ since jan 2007...........so its more than possible.
    Calling it a War sounds like the right description to me.

    http://projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/#/its-a-war.

    El Universal newspaper reported Monday that 69 people had died violently in the previous 24-hour period, the biggest daily death toll yet. The paper said that 283 people had died in 2010 so far, against 46 from the same period last year.

    According to El Universal, more than a third of the 69 Mexicans killed between Friday and Saturday died in Ciudad Juarez just over the border from the Texas city of El Paso. Four people were beheaded, and a victim discovered early Friday whose face had been stitched on to a football. Five people were kidnapped, including two security guards and a prominent businessman.

    Last year drug violence claimed more than 2,500 victims in this city.

    This thread reminds me of Breaking Bad, and im scared for her. I admire her resolve but as someone said, from a statistical point of view shes already dead, not the wisest move tbh.
