[MEX] 14 kidnapped from village that rose up and killed cartel members

14 kidnapped from village that rose up and killed cartel members
December 28, 2023 - The Guardian

Farmers in Texcaltitlán in central Mexico, tired of being extorted, chased down gang members and killed 10 earlier this month

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A drug cartel in central Mexico has kidnapped 14 local residents, including four children, in apparent retaliation for an uprising by angry farmers earlier this month that killed 10 cartel gunmen, officials said.

Farmers in the village of Texcaltitlán and a neighboring hamlet had apparently grown tired of cartel extortions. Armed only with sickles and hunting rifles, they chased down suspected gang members amid bursts of automatic gunfire on 8 December, hacking, shooting and burning them. Four villagers also died in the clash.

Prosecutors said late on Wednesday that the cartel then abducted 14 people, including four children between the ages of one and a half and 14. The abducted adults include three policemen who were seized at a cartel roadblock, and a wounded villager the gang snatched from a hospital soon after the clash.

José Luis Cervantes, the head prosecutor for the state of Mexico, located west of the country’s capital, Mexico City, said no ransom demand had been received. Previously, state officials had denied anyone was kidnapped, and said they were simply “missing”.

But residents of the village and a nearby hamlet said the Familia Michoacana drug cartel was demanding they hand over the leaders of the uprising, in exchange for releasing the kidnapped children and adults.

Cervantes said none of the villagers would face charges for the 8 December clash, because the confrontation had been classified as “legitimate self-defense” because the farmers were defending their properties.

Gunmen from the Familia Michoacana cartel, which has long dominated the area, had showed up in the village earlier, demanding local farmers pay an extortion fee.

The bloodshed occurred in the hamlet of Texcaltitlán, about 80 miles (130km) south-west of the capital. A video of the clash that emerged appears to show the gunmen wore military-style uniforms, some with helmets. Villagers apparently set their bodies and vehicles on fire.

Drug cartels in Mexico have been known to extort money from almost any legal or illegal business that they can, sometimes attacking or burning ranches, farms or stores that refuse to pay.

The Familia Michoacana is known for its brazen ambushes of police, as well as the the 2022 massacre of 20 townspeople in the town of Totolapan in the neighboring state of Guerrero. The attack killed the town’s mayor, his father and 18 other men.

They should get the Israeli army in there and really go after those kidnappers... oh wait they'd probably kill their own hostages, nevermind.

Interesting how in Mexico they call gangs and racketeers as "cartels"... I've always thought cartels were in the business of smuggling tonnes of drugs and dealing with corrupt government officials and making billions of dollars, not shaking and murdering every grandpa and grandma for $500 USD a month.

They are sometimes known to give small crumbs back to the community, to look charitable, or conscript innocent bystanders into forced labor. I'm thinking, this is a polity.

There is a documentary about the cartels trying to take over avocado farms as well.

One of these documentaries is age-protected. About avocados.

As avocados were deemed a 'blood commodity', and probably because they contribute to deforestation, Cheran made them contraband.

Protectionism is also a characteristic of some nascent form of a state.

It begins when ungovernable or neglected people just start asserting rules.

I think that anarchism is only a temporary phase between administrations, probably during power struggles, when the powers that shouldn't be have to pick their battles and people eating guac and having a j are not critical to confront at that very moment.

God bless those farmers ..


May their kids also rise and kill more cartel members.


Death to cartels forever!

Imo.
