Drug Cartel kidnaps bus passengers to fight in gladiator like deathmatches

[CptStern]

The elderly are killed. Young women are raped. And able-bodied men are given hammers, machetes and sticks and forced to fight to the death.

In one of the most chilling revelations yet about the violence in Mexico, a drug cartel-connected trafficker claims fellow gangsters have kidnapped highway bus passengers and forced them into gladiatorlike fights to groom fresh assassins.

The elderly are killed. Young women are raped. And able-bodied men are given hammers, machetes and sticks and forced to fight to the death.

The trafficker said those who survive are taken captive and eventually given suicide missions, such as riding into a town controlled by rivals and shooting up the place.

I saw that on reddit moments ago too.

Is it bad that my first thought was of the original Unreal Tournament's intro video, and that my second was of a hypothetical viciously offensive mod called "Mexican Deathmatch"?

This is why I don't visit Mexico... however I feel like I'd be a pretty good gladiator...

Seriously, this is terrible if true.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it was given the level of anarchy in some parts of Mexico.

Also he didn't say what they do with the children.

Deciptcons and Autobots unite to fight the evil drug Cartels and save Humanity in the process...and Shia marries a Mexican chick portrayed by Selena Gomez.
