- "If you are a CJNG member this will interest you... DESERT, ESCAPE... From the archives: One of the most interesting narco banner campaigns, likely from Los Viagras intended to break the morale of CJNG foot soldiers in Michoacán. From June, 2020, Zamora, Mich.
- 🧵A new video shows four armed members of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) parading two men stripped down to their underwear, holding hands and carrying signs identifying them as burglars. borderlandbeat.com/2023/07/cartel…

- A unit patch from a CJNG member killed fighting Carteles Unidos in Los Reyes, Michoacán. The patch shows a map of a Guanajuato, a rooster as a reference to Mencho aka “el señor de Los gallos”, and the letters ‘RR’ which refer to the regional boss Ricardo Ruiz Velasco
- Replying to @Hebi_Grey and @bigsnuggaTraffic has dropped around 14% since Musk bought it, not 80%. Not sure where poster got 80 from
- Often think about this poor guy who posted his modified truck as stolen and then had it appear in a CJNG convoy video with a new paint job and CJNG logo on the side. Sorry bro you aren’t getting that car back 💀
- 🧵1/5 This morning, narco messages were found in several municipalities around the state of Guanajuato. Allegedly left by the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS), they announce a new war against their old allies the CSRL as well as rivals the CJNG.

00:00 - This breakdown of smuggled weapons from the US legal market into Mexico is worth taking a look at. I'm surprised that AK platform rifles are 2x as numerous as AR15s, given that AR15s are far more popular (and usually much cheaper) in the US. vpc.org/indicted/indic…
- Year after year, Guanajuato remains Mexico's most murderous state by a wide margin due to the CJNG - CSRL turf warNúmero de 💀🔫🗡️ total en México durante el 2024
- 🧵We know what impunity looks like in Mexico - unreported & uninvestigated crimes, corruption, jailbreaks, etc. But do we have our own impunity problem in the US? Quite an interesting perspective & well-argued from @GCorreaCabrera, W. Yaworsky, C. Lewis. smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/drugs…
- Replying to @RichardHananiaAs El Salvador got safer, international orgs and press like the Economist started criticizing the government more. They rated the state of its democracy highest when violence was at its peak Sources: The Economist Democracy Index & ES National Police Homicide Data (2015-22)
- A government in control would not allow criminals to murder its security forces, flaunting their violent deaths on video. But in Mexico, around 500 police officers are killed each year w/ little reaction from the state
