Updated 53 minutes ago

Ten people have been killed and their bodies stripped of clothing in a north Mexico beer hall linked to the ultra-violent Zetas drug cartel.

The Garcia beer hall was known to be used as the location for the Zetas drug cartel's trafficking scheme, according to state investigators who requested anonymity.

The gang, founded by military deserters, was once the armed wing of the Gulf cartel until the two sides split in 2010, leading to bloody turf wars in north-western Mexican states.

Mexico's border states are major drug routes to the United States and have endured some of the worst violence in a drug war that has left more than 80,000 people dead and 22,000 missing across the country since 2006.

2. This was in the Monterrey suburb of Garcia. About 150 miles south of the border.

There's been plenty of cartel violence there over the years, too.

3. And they've copy cat like slaughtered.

With extremely brutal beheadings like those in the ME.

4. I've seen a couple of videos ...

... absolutely the worst things I've seen. My morbid curiosity got the best of me, and now I wished I hadn't. Just absolutely sadistic. I don't normally like to categorize things as "good" and "evil," these guys make an exception in terms of the evil they bring to this world.

5. I just saw a documentry on this cartel. They are vicious.

Our government should be more worried about helping Mexico then they are in staying in the middle east.
