Bodies Hanging from Bridge in Mexico Are Warning to Social Media Users
I guess this is why the Portland Police don’t enforce immigration laws. They don’t care they don’t have to. Oregon is a sanctuary state for the Mexican drug cartel …..Funny thing is every since I began posting about mexican criminals, mexicans have written to me within the United States and threatened to kill me and my family. These Mexicans are animals and need to be removed at any cost from the United States permanently.
“This is going to happen to all of those posting funny things on the Internet,” one sign said. “You better (expletive) pay attention. I’m about to get you“

Social media users who denounce drug cartel activities along the Mexican border received a brutal warning this week: Two mangled bodies hanging like cuts of meat from a pedestrian bridge.
A woman was hogtied and disemboweled, her intestines protruding from three deep cuts on her abdomen. Attackers left her topless, dangling by her feet and hands from a bridge in the border city of Nuevo Laredo. A bloodied man next to her was hanging by his hands, his right shoulder severed so deeply the bone was visible.
Signs left near the bodies declared the pair, both apparently in their early 20s, were killed for posting denouncements of drug cartel activities on a social network.
“This is going to happen to all of those posting funny things on the Internet,” one sign said. “You better (expletive) pay attention. I’m about to get you.”
The gruesome scene sent a chilling message at a time when online posts have become some of the loudest voices reporting violence in Mexico. In some parts of the country, threats from cartels have silenced traditional media. Sometimes even local authorities fear speaking out.

They were signed “Z,” a possible reference for the Zetas cartel, which operates in the area.
