Kidnapping in Mexico
In Chihuahua, Mexico, the bodies of four men who were kidnapped were found in the back of a pick-up truck. They had been kidnapped at a wedding ceremony, when, gunmen with masks ran into the Church and killed a fifth person and kidnapped the groom, his brother, uncle, and an unknown wedding attender. People don't know whether it was gang or drug related, but the city in Chihuahua that it happened is known for its violence and there is a lot of crime that goes on. In 2009, there were 2,600 deaths that were drug related. This year, there have been about 870 deaths already, just in Juarez, Chihuahua. This state is the "hardest hit with drug violence." I think it's really sad and crazy how the drug lords and gangs are taking over the Mexico government. Right now, in some places, the government has no control over them and people are murdered daily in the streets. I think that it's sad that the people have to lose their lives to power hungry drug lords who have nothing better to do but kill people.
