Mexico is heating up
Sure. The American border is open for business again.
In the first half of February 2021, 1,135 victims of intentional homicide were registered in the country, an average of 75 a day, according to the daily report of the federal security cabinet.

This represents only 1.3% more if compared to the first two weeks of January, in which 1,120 murders were counted.
So far, February 8 is the most violent day this month with 89 intentional deaths, followed by the 15th, with 84.

Guanajuato, the State of Mexico and Jalisco remain the entities with the most homicides so far this year, according to the report prepared by an interdisciplinary team made up of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

Yesterday 84 victims were counted, of which 13 were in the State of Mexico; Michoacán, 8; Guanajuato, 7; Veracruz, 7.

Early yesterday morning, the former mayor of Cosoleacaque, Veracruz, Gladys Merlin Castro and her daughter, Carla Enríquez Merlin, were murdered by an armed commando who entered their home.

Was asked, "Why so happy, amigo?"
"From myriad things
My felicity springs:
Rapping, scrapping, and capping a -----!"

#3  Homicidio? Si, three dimensional:
Malicious, then merely intentional,
Then, quite incidental,
The trite accidental
That don't even reach the confessional.
