Sirens in West Ajijic

Lots of sirens in West Ajijic going west. And no, I'm not jumping to conclusions by saying it's narcos. But the trucks that pick up bodies just passed me. If you know what is going on please post. Any loss of life diminishes us all.

17 dismembered bodies found dumped near Tizapán, across the lake.

INFORMADOR has a couple of articles - one about the finding of bodies and the other about a shootout:

From an online INFORMADOR report, it appears that at least some of these victims had criminal records, some were ex military and some had documents with South American phone numbers:

CB:

What I find interesting is that none of the Mexican media articles that I have seen have shown such a graphic photo as the one in the article referenced. I saw the same photo in a San Francisco, CA media article.

the pile of bodies was shown in the Washington Post but I have not seen it in the Mexican papers so far but then I did not look for it.

Brigitte:

While poorly explained, that was my point. The Mexican media (often known for sensationalism) didn't have photos that I have seen while the US press known for verbal sensationalism and reserved photos has now published the photos.

Cnn Mexico posted this gnarley foto
