From my count, there were about 30 beheadings in Mexico last week, tit-for-tat decapitations from Veracruz to San Luis Potosi to Sinaloa and Sonora. Everybody’s jumping onboard with the head chopping. In Culiacán, the headless corpse was found with a message to Arturo Beltrán Leyva to get out of town. Then twelve more materialized in Veracruz. The Get Shorty coalition of Beltrán, Carrillo and Zetas then did three in a posh Nogales, Sonora, neighborhood, Colonia Rodeo. From my understanding, the second body was found near the police chief’s home and the first thing to come to everybody’s mind was whether his neck was still intact. Clearly, someone is taking no small measure of pride in the cleanliness of the beheadings. These are no rusty bow saw jobs, but rather, exceptionally clean slicings, probably with a powersaw.
