Tired of abductions, Mexican townsfolk kidnap drug boss’ mom

MEXICO CITY — In one of the stranger chapters of Mexico’s drug war, angry people in a southern town kidnapped the mother of a gang leader to demand the release of their loved ones.

The government of Guerrero state said Tuesday that it was sending about 220 soldiers and police to try to defuse the situation in Totolapan.

The town has been controlled for years by a drug gang boss whose proper name is Raybel Jacobo de Almonte, but who is better known as “El Tequilero.”

De Alamonte has lived up to his nickname, which translates roughly as “The Tequila Drinker.” In his only known public appearance, he was captured on video drinking with the town’s mayor-elect. De Alamonte mumbles inaudibly and has to be held up in a sitting position by one of his henchmen.

    Viva la Mexico!

    Let's do the same here when law enforcement and the courts won't do their job.

    The Mexican people started revolting against these drug lords a couple years ago. I am very excited for what this will mean for the country. The drug lords have ruled out of fear but eventually fear runs out because the people have nothing left to lose.
