    NSFL. This is particularly gruesome:

    The official confirmation came after photos circulated on messaging app WhatsApp depicting a severed head on top of a pick-up truck, appearing to be that of Arcos. Reuters could not independently verify the photos’ authenticity.

    Dang, man. I’d love to visit Mexico and it’s vast deposit of ancient archeological sites, but I’ll just never feel safe enough to do so. It’s probably quite safe to visit the tourist areas, as tourism brings in a lot of money for both the government and the cartels, but I’m just not interested in sitting around a gated community filled with drunk tourists.
