Suspected drug-related violence left 13 dead, including two women, in separate incidents in Mexico's violent northern Chihuahua state, local authorities said.
Heavily-armed men attacked a man and a woman as they got out of a car in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, forcing them up against a wall and shooting them at least 15 times, including a coup de grace typically used by drug gangs, local police said.
The death toll from gangland-style killings around Mexico has escalated this year, with some 4,000 killed so far.
What are some ideas or suggestions to stop this death toll from increasing?
their government and justice system is utterly pointless, the people know it, the drug leaders know it, and we know it. something needs to be done, and ASAP. Before the country is completely ruled by the Drug Lords.
OHH NO! gosh darnit the mexican government needs to get its crap together! like this needs to get under control and i don't think that Mexico is that far gone.

somebody needs to step up and stop this- outside forces can only do so much, the mexicans need to find pride in their country and change it. that's the only way it's gonna change and stay that way. i'm thinking more mexican ghandi, not necessarily batman :)
