Massacre reported in Irapuato, Mexico — 24 people dead
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
The Jerusalem Post reports in English:
Twenty-four people have been killed in an armed attack on a drugs rehabilitation facility in the central Mexican city of Irapuato, according to media reports on Wednesday which were confirmed by a Mexican federal official.

Mexican news network Milenio said seven people were also injured in the shooting at the facility in Guanajuato state, the second such attack to take place in Irapuato in the past month.

On June 6, 10 men were killed when button men opened fire in a rehabilitation center for addicts in Irapuato. It was not immediately clear if the same facility was hit both times.

Guanajuato, a major carmaking hub, has become one of the principal flashpoints of surging gang violence which President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has promised to quell.

#3 Rehab facilities stateside have been a focal point for drug distribution. Typically, one condition for people who have been involved in crimes committed while drugged-up to receive relatively light sentences is for them to quit drugs, typically at a rehab center. Problem is rehab centers are a great place to peddle drugs through corrupt staff members who will both sell drugs to patients and certify that someone who has gone through the program is clean. So this is possibly a turf war.

#4 I'm indifferent to whether narcotic drugs are legal or illegal. If legal, they should be legal all the way. If illegal, ditto, meaning that an arrest for possession should lead to an expedited trial and appeals process that ends up either in execution or acquittal within low single digit years. What Mexico has is the worst of both worlds.
