Several municipalities in Southern Guanajuato were the backdrop for burning businesses, vehicles, and gunfire, after the rumored capture of "El Muñeco", a leader of the Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL) last night.

According to AM Noticias, the violence began in the municipalities of Juventino Rosas and Villagrán with gunfire around 10:30 p.m. on January 30, 2023. Soon after, another shootout occurred on the Carretera Juventino Rosas-Celaya highway when Public Security officers engaged with armed criminals. At that location, tire spikes were deployed by the criminals.
Just after midnight, dozens of videos of the violence began appearing online, mostly across the south of the state, with the northernmost attacks in Celaya. They show burning vehicles, businesses, and record the audio of shootouts. Once again, several Oxxo convenience stores were targeted by arsonists.
According to La Silla Rota, "El Muñeco" is the brother in law of José Antonio Yépez "El Marro", the imprisoned ex leader of the CSRL.
AM Noticias reported that five alleged criminals have been detained. A video circulating online showing five men being arrested by Guanajuato police seems to confirm this.

Paralyzing a city through narco blockades, gunfire, and burning of buildings is a common strategy employed by criminal groups in response to the capture of high profile members. In addition to slowing government movement by creating roadblocks, these attacks are intended to cause enough terror and chaos to pressure the government into submission.
The event sparks immediate comparisons to August 2022, when the CJNG burned dozens of vehicles and businesses across at least 11 cities in Jalisco and Guanajuato following the attempted capture of a high ranking officer, as reported by Borderland Beat.

It really sucks that Mexico will never be able to deter this plague, at least not in my lifetime. These people have done way too much harm to the country of Mexico. Such a beautiful country with a beautiful culture and rich history. Only to be tainted by these self-glorified Narcos. Whoever thinks these dudes are some sort of robin hoods really have shit for brains. They do absolutely nothing for their people but bring death and destruction. I pray for a better Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI agree brother. From year 2000 on up Mexico has really been going downhill as far as crime goes. They blame it on the gringos demand. But it’s really a select few that keep the shit up. Most Mexicans want what everybody else in the world wants peace and prosperity. But it’s a few that do whatever it takes to get prosperity making peace impossible for the rest. The governments US and Mexico won’t do shit. Autodefensa sell out and start taking money. But the citizens are gonna have to take Mexico back. That’s the only way it will happen. Start lynching the cartel capos and politicos.
DeleteYou can only blame one country for the state mexico is in right now,mexico.
DeleteWhen a people gives tacit approval and hero worship for drug lords and cartels as evidenced on here,what do you expect?
"They blame it on the gringos demand"
DeleteHas nothing to do with demand,mexicans were caught in malaysia making meth,showing their expertise to malays,and opening a new drug market,no doubt it was the malay demand,canadian,australian,U.S.yada blah,supplier or demand ?
6:51 Go to LA boy... you will change your mind about Mexico... I know you probably cant afford to travel... but make an effort.
Delete12:04 Mexicans teaching asians to deal/make meth? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha they been into that sinces decades ago...
DeleteAs soon as CDS sent Barbie to make war with CDG it was all downhill from there.
Delete12:30 actually it was CDG that invaded Nuevo Laredo. Nuevo Laredo was run by local gangs at least one los chachos and I think also los Texas were affiliated to cds and milenio cartels. So CDS was in Laredo before cdg invaded.
DeleteLong time ago a nuevo laredo criminal group killed some cops and juan n guerra went up there met the leaders and told them to stop fucking up. Nuevo laredo was in tamaulipas and juan n guerra was the top capo. Fast forward to later and los chachos were in charge and their alliance was to cds. Los chachos betrayed osiel cardenas by trying to steal a ton of coke that was supposed to cross to usa thru laredo and the deal was done but los chachos had the local police commander who was supposed to meet the cdg convoy transporting the coke try to arrest el cos and the rest of the men. And the rest is history. Nuevo laredo was taken by cdg and later on given to the zetas.
Delete2:14 would you be referring to Arturo Garza Treviño or the Prunedas?
Delete6:51 you want to see Hell, just go to Mexico.
Delete7:03 If you want to see hell, just take a ride (or try) on LA metro, thats hell for sure.
DeleteMexico is hell, a no man's land.
DeleteEasily get killed, Taco man almost got killed for not paying piso.
11:39 Is clear you never been to downtown LA in your life... Easily get killed, students got killed for going to school, black people get killed by police for being black....
DeleteThey kill and kill, kidnap yet when one of theirs is arrested, let's have a tantrum, pinches cry babies.
ReplyDeleteDamn, CJNG is #1 rat cartel
ReplyDeleteDont forget about Chapizza and CDN... nasty cartels...
DeleteCds number one snitching ass cartel. Jaliscas number one snitching on mantas cartel when they find it hard to take out enemies they rat them out. 🐭🐭🐭🐭
DeleteJuarez cartel and Union Tepito are the ones minding their own business. The others should learn from them.
DeleteDid anyone find out who got busted?
ReplyDeleteI called my Tia Coca, she said some CJNG tweakers got busted.
DeleteTell Tia I'll be sending her $15 via moneygram after I eat my burrito... good thing I can do it inside the local mercado/taqueria.
DeleteNo tiene caso hacer un desmadre si no vas a rescatar a alguien
ReplyDeleteYa ni la chingan los grupos puro desmadrar la ciudad y haciendo que el pueblo los repudie
