Six policemen and one
more unidentified person lost their lives during a riot, that took place at dawn this Sunday at the La
Toma Prison, located Veracruz, in Mexico, confirmed the state government.
At least 12 others are
reported injured.
The riot in the state
prison of La Toma, in the municipality of Amatlán de Los Reyes, began when the
1,300 inmates demanded the dismissal of the director and the chief of custody
of the prison.
The riot began on
Saturday night in a penitentiary in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz.
Agents of the anti-riot group of the Ministry of Public Security entered the La
Toma social rehabilitation center to try to control the revolt.
The Government reported that upon entering, the policemen were repelled by inmates who had seized some carpentry tools and set fire to mattresses.

The burning of
mattresses, stated in the bulletin, "may have caused the suffocation of the
police elements."
On the outskirts of the
prison, members of the Federal Police, the Navy of Mexico, the State Police and
the Military Police, guarded the facilities to prevent relatives of the inmates
from entering.
The eastern state of
Veracruz has been mired in a spiral of violence in the last decade due to the
presence of drug gangs.
Los Zetas have control
of the prison.
CJNG has all those policemen on their payroll, big bad zetas are mad cause they control the system and put them all in jail lol
ReplyDeleteOther articles state that the riot started when they tried to move some very dangerous inmates to another facility.
ReplyDeleteWhich zetas? Old school zetas?
ReplyDeleteSuffocation thats is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIf coca grew in Canada instead of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, then America would be just as corrupt as Mexico as Americans would become the narco-trafickers attempting to smuggle drugs into Mexico....crazy world, wrong multi-verse.
ReplyDeleteOnde andabas, Chiva...
ReplyDeleteHI
Why are 7 corrections officers getting into a prison riot and fall in a trap of burning mattresses? Oh I see, the military police, the state police, the army and the marinas were busy trying to find their assigned checkpoint 10 miles away from the prison, and governor yunes is un pendejo too. That helps.
ReplyDeleteAnd I literally thought that this was due to complaints by narcos of the high cost of “ potato chips “ sold at the prison!

6:05 chips are real expensive in US prisons, everything is exensive in US prisons, and was made even more expensive by the fact that some prisoners get obama checks to spend at the prison commissary, usually a business of the warden who needs to help his meager paycheck for his own chips,
DeleteHow about private prisons for profit?
No gas masks for police Zetas control the prison. Imagine anything and everything goes in there.
ReplyDeleteYou can bet the deceased officers were the ones giving the prisoners the most trouble to the narco-zetas, let's check the complaint file.
DeleteSo much for Easter Sunday.
ReplyDelete9:06 I think April 1st is not about the Easter Bunny which is about real innocent children but not a Mexican Holliday
DeleteIf los zetas have control of that prison and they wanted a different director and chief? They probably lost the control of the prison
ReplyDeleteThe end results of the bastards in charge selling the area to various gangs and sitting back and letting them murder each other and civilians,so many disgusting venal politicos doing nothing but exacerbating an already dangerous situation for the general public.They take millions and get a few years(i guess many people would take that deal)they should get life sentences,as they are officials in charge of the most basic of human rights,safety.They trade a people for a ransom of money,they should be held accountable in the most rigorous way,but this is the PRI past masters at destroying Mexico with hair raising corruption
ReplyDeleteOn february 1913 Mexico was recovered from its "revolution" y US Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, a drunk mariguano who conspired with general Victoriano Huerta, a drunk mariguano himself.
DeleteThe US has financed all of mexico's wars and has kept their favorite skinners in charge ever since, because they know how to make trouble for others and make money for themselves.
"1913 US Ambassador"
