Mexican cartel blockades streets in Monterrey
Source: BBC News

Police in Mexico say members of a drug cartel blocked off at least 13 major roads in Monterrey on Saturday.

Drivers were dragged out of their vehicles by armed men and their cars used to cut off the roads in the north-eastern city.

The blockade happened after a shootout between the Mexican army and alleged members of a drug cartel, in which four people were killed.

4. DESTROY THE BANKSTERS
Worse than the destruction of the prison industry, if marijuana were legal the big time US banksters that make billions by washing drugster money would fall flat. Illegal marijuana has made more multimillionaires than any other industry at home and abroad in the history of the world!
