5 die of food poisoning at Mexican rehab center

5 die of food poisoning at Mexican rehab center. Story says “Drug cartels have taken over rehabilitation centers in parts of Mexico, forcibly recruiting addicts as hit men and smugglers. The invasions have led to mass shootings at the centers that have left dozens dead.” Lots of commenters wonder if this is a consequence of Fast n’ Furious. Us too.

  • Sell the drugs to get people hooked, raid the rehab centers to recruit addicts to push the drugs to get more people hooked, it's a win situation for the cartels all the way around!

    This kind of scam would fit right in with Holders Fast N Furious program of giving the killers more guns to kill more people.

  • Drug cartels have the money. Cities, Counties and States don't. And our politicians always need more. So how long before this sort of thing comes to California? Arizona? 'News' media? Is it already here?
