According to a news item posted Thursday evening on the website of Animal Politico, the three police agents were killed Wednesday night aboard their official vehicle in Nuevo Laredo.
The agents were identified as José Luis Orozco, Arturo Alvarado, and Guillermo Hernandez,, all of the Tamaulipas state Secretaria de Seguridad Publica Estatal (SSPE) or state police.
The shooting took place near the intersection of calles Jesus Carranza and Paseo Colon.
Meanwhile eight other individuals were killed on drug related violence since last September 15, according to an translated account published on the website of San Antonio Express English language news daily Thursday evening.

Common guys can't you see what you are doing to our beautiful country? Our nation is beginning to resemble our hearts of the mothers and fathers that have lost children to the cartels or in crossfire. Our moral is at an all time low as now this generation is so psychologically scarred it's beginning to believe more in these gangsters than in our government. Stop thinking of yourselves for just one minute and look at what your doing to the innocents. Our children have nothing to do but wish to be a Z-3 or El Chapo or an Osiel what is this. When I was growing up we knew of these people but we still were taught to look up to the good guys and do something for our country now it's all about outed elves and dying for the stupid letters. Why should that mother never see her sons again because they are constantly deployed though out the country being killers so that their family doesn't get slaughtered. Why should that mothers stomach curl everytime she hears of a cartel gunfight with police or military? Why should that fathers heart be broken when he finds his daughters body dead and raped in the streets by these thugs?? How can these children be anything good when they grow up with pain suffering poverty killings and anger in their daily lives. This dhit needs to stop this isn't for plazas anymore this isn't for money or drugs or control, it's for one thing EGO MACHISMO. This is all this to you is worth genocide on your own people? Who can save us when even us lets the drugs pass and willingly lets more guns through? Who will answer for do many dead do a few men can feel immortal and powerful. Where is justice where is humanity? Is all this a past time?? I hope not I really do
ReplyDeletemay they rest in peace. sadly i know of person that died this week in all this bulshit. god when will you make it stop. i guess both sides are just doing thier jobs. may they rest in peace.

ReplyDeletePic of what?
DeleteSo you want to see pictures ? You are just an arm chair voyeur.Hiding in your mommies,basement looking for sick thrills.Pathetic
DeleteWho's demands?
DeletePic of what? They all look the same when they are dead. Shot in the back, laying face down in a pool of blood. You know the picture.
ReplyDelete"Common Guys" who would ever have thought that Rapists,Murderer's,Extortionsist would be called Common..? These thugs have surpassed the word "Common" way long ago mi amigo! I aggree in your premise but do not ask a person who has lost all contact with Humanity to change his ways just so the mothers and children of this country that used to be called Mexico can have peice of mind. These people are Human "Vermin"
ReplyDeletethat prey are the civil and weak of Mexico and need to be slaughtered in the exact same way that they are slaughtering the citizens that they come in contact with on a Daily Basis! You have to fight fire with fire. Too many people
have given up on Mexico and it is time for Radical Action so the people can breath without worrying if someone can hear them breath..!
Civil War ??? Dam Good Possibility!!!!

ReplyDeleteNeither SEDENA, nor SEMAR, nor any of the PGEs will take or release photos of shootings or shootouts, prolly as a matter of policy. Any photos that appear in publications where I get my facts are encumbered, so I can't use them, so unless someone at the scene tweets photos, we are all out of luck in the photo department.
I totally agree with 12:43. The ones who complain can read Shakespeare,Dickens,frost and we won't complain about their fantasy world.but this site is reality!!!! If you want to inform and report show more pictures.

ReplyDeleteI hear you man,but it is human nature and there is no end in sight.It is now 2012,and we still have babies dying of starvation and HIV?We seem to be educating ourselves to get worse rather than better.The lifelong quest for money.Don't get me wrong,i am not a bleeding heart,far from it.But common sense tells you,,what are we doing?We can be as idealistic as we want,but sadly my friend,i don't believe in humanity,we are all ego maniacs with our selfish little prides.You can witness it on here by the readers and contributors to this blog in comments.We seem to be getting more and more plastic and hypocritical,who knows whats to be done,as for pictures?What pictures are they talking about?A story gets posted many times without pictures,sometimes the pictures are not released,there are many different reasons.BB would post them if it had access to them no doubt,they haven't caved in to the minority of marys just yet.
"I'm getting real tired of you clowns at bb not posting pictures like you use to"
ReplyDeleteBe cool man.I'm sure BB would have posted them if they were relevant to the story,and,if they had access to them.Hopefully they will always keep it real,unlike major news outlets who only broadcast what they want the sheep to see and hear.Sanitized political crap without a hint of the real story and truth,that people need to hear.
Reports/Chatter last night of 3 colgados hanging from Gonzales Bridge in N. Laredo.
ReplyDeleteI think alot of people come here for the pictures and videos only. Eventually they will get bored and stop coming. This is a good thing, the stories and reporting is all that matters, sure it's nice to have visual references to go with a story but it's not needed.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who follow the tragedy in Mexico have seen enough pics to imagine what it looks like when the headline says "Terror in Tamaulipas: 14 die".
I started reading, and I use that term lightly, Blog Del Narco several years back and the gore and horror in those images drew me into this world. There was plenty of images but little context and back story. So I started to search out info and eventually wound up on BB. Here I found what I was looking for, information and context. Stories and subjects that I could never find in main stream media, they are too busy reporting on whose dick Kim K. is currently ingesting.
In my opinion BB has steadily improved and the reporting and articles they feature are exactly why I keep coming back, not the pictures. Hell even Blog Del Narco isn't what it used to be, and there are always sites that do nothing more than showcase gruesome pics for those looking for that.
Keep up the Great work BB and all the guys and gals in the forum who do such a great job thank you.

Tyrone:you told me you cannot recommend a hotel to stay at.can you recommend any of the major hotels that I should not stay at?i have to go Sunday and stay for two days.im thinking as close to the bridge as possible.i used to stay at citi express out by the two bus stations near soriana, Walmart,Applebee's.etc. but I think there is a big hotel on the same street or a block over and closer to the bridge. If there was any other options I would stay in Laredo tx but I can't Thanks
