Mexico, Map of Main Drug Cartels
The violent confrontations between police forces and Mexican drug dealers cause several injured and even deaths every day, in Tijuana, Northern Mexico.
The situation in Tijuana seems to be more uncontrollable as days pass by. Drug dealers are fighting for the supremacy over one of Mexico’s largest drug cartel, and they also fight with police forces.Only in the past month there have been about 180 people reported dead in shootings, personal vendettas, drugs gangs’ encounters.
Death has become such a common event in Tijuana that nobody seems to be surprised at seeing dead bodies on the street or in public places. Two days ago the police have found two bodies wrapped in blankets on a Tijuana beach, a gas station worker killed after she had attended a drug dealer and a used car dealer. Also, two other bodies were found on the street. With these six murders, the number of victims over the past week rises to more than 30.
On Sunday, even a police station and a highway patrol car have been assaulted in the Southern State of Guerrero. Seven police officers have suffered injuries after being shot at by several heavily armed gang members.
There seems to be nothing that can stop this phenomenon….will Mexico become a no-law land? It is certainly headed that way.
