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." Well known as humanitarians, the cartels are... The Tamaulipas source also showed the outlet a photograph of the five implicated men lying bound and face-down on the pavement. |

| #11 ...I'm sure they're very nice ladies, but #2 and 3 have lousy trigger discipline. "Hey, my eyes are up here!" So I guess everyone has a Scorpion unit now? |

| #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. |

| #5 #3 Reading the rap sheets of the kidnapped I think they were there for more than a tummy tuck. Posted by: Deacon Blues 2023-03-10 08:02 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.” Mike |
