Mexico's Gulf Cartel turns over 5 members tied to Americans' deadly kidnapping

The cartel’s Scorpions group said it "decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events" related to the March 3 abduction of four Americans in the border city of Matamoros, according to a letter leaked to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named by a Tamaulipas state law enforcement source.

The letter also claimed the five members "acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline" when they attacked victims Latavia "Tay" McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams.

McGee and Williams were found injured but alive in a dingy shack on Tuesday after a four-day search. Woodard and Brown, however, had been rubbed out.

The ambush, the letter states, went against the Gulf Cartel’s policy of "respecting the life and well-being of the innocent."

The Tamaulipas source also showed the outlet a photograph of the five implicated men lying bound and face-down on the pavement.

#2 ...The Cartel kills two people and hands over the ~~stupid~~ guilty for punishment.

The Biden Administration gets 13 American service members killed during the bungled, chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and everybody's still got their jobs.

DB,

As a matter of fact, they were - from hotair.com:

The group had driven from South Carolina to Mexico for one of the members, Latavia McGee, to undergo what was initially reported as a tummy tuck, although Orange told police it was actually for “gluteal augmentation.”

#6 They don't want another Kiki Camarena episode. Sounds like the kidnappers got off easy, the cartels have some very imaginative ways of killings people.

"Hey, my eyes are up here!"

So I guess everyone has a Scorpion unit now?

#12 That should make for an interesting trial. “Your Honor, we have no actual evidence other than the appoint letter that the cartel provided with the perps.”

#13 Turning them in is weird, too.

Suppose at least one of the four was somebody's asset?
