It is just non stop Mayhem in Mexico.
(Reuters) - Suspected drug hitmen shot dead 15 people at a car wash in western Mexico on Wednesday, the third massacre in just a few days, putting new pressure on President Felipe Calderon to stop the growing violence.
The gunmen, in three SUVs, opened fire on staff and customers in the car wash on the outskirts of the city of Tepic in Nayarit state, provoking panic as the victims, all workers at the car wash, collapsed to the ground.
The multiple murder is the third since Friday when gunmen shot and killed 14 people and injured a 9-year-old boy at a party in Ciudad Juarez across from El Paso, Texas. On Sunday, gunmen in Tijuana killed 14 people at a rehabilitation center in the city bordering San Diego, California.

Mexico captures major Tijuana drug gang leader
Another Major jackass taken off the streets of Mexico !
only a few thousand more to go .
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican police captured a drug kingpin on Tuesday known for having the corpses of tortured rivals dissolved in acid and blamed for much of a surge in violence in the northern border city of Tijuana.
In a fresh victory for Mexico's bloody war on drug gangs, Teodoro Garcia Simental was caught in southern Baja California early Tuesday, police said.
Garcia Simental, also known as "El Teo" or "Tres Letras" for the three letters in his nickname Teo, was apprehended when an elite force of some 50 federal police raided an upscale neighborhood in the beach town of La Paz near the tip of the Baja California peninsula. They searched several houses before finding him.
"No shots were fired. It was a very fast operation. The investigation has been going on for a long time," a police officer who participated in the operation told Reuters. Garcia Simental was handcuffed and swiftly flown to Mexico City.
The top smuggler split from the Tijuana-based Arellano Felix cartel to help Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman -- head of the rival Sinaloa cartel and Mexico's most wanted man -- wrest control of key smuggling corridors in northern Mexico.

U.S. closes Mexico crossing after shooting
And it gets better yet , border agents closed the port between Tijauna and San Diego , For a little while due to Human traffickers , What a mess Mexico is !
To bad they just don't shut the whole damn thing down for awhile !
....
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - U.S. authorities closed the world's busiest land border crossing for several hours on Tuesday after suspected Mexican human traffickers tried to enter with illegal immigrants, U.S. officials said.
U.S. agents fired at three vans packed with about 70 illegal immigrants that tried to evade heavy security and cross into the United States, the officials said.
"The port is closed and will remain closed for several hours," U.S. Customs and Border Patrol spokeswoman Angelica De Cima said after the incident at the congested San Ysidro crossing between the Mexican city of Tijuana and San Diego.
Three people in the vans and a motorist were wounded, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Officials said the suspected migrants did not open fire on U.S. agents as initial reports had suggested.
"Three vans attempted to run the port through one of the northbound vehicle lanes to avoid inspection," De Cima said, adding that two agents fired their weapons. "I cannot confirm that fire was returned," she added.
Mack said the border crossing partially reopened on Tuesday evening. A Mexican border hotline for motorists said seven lanes at the crossing were open.

Mexico "narco junior" teenagers escape jail
Just what Mexico needs , More gangstas back on the streets ! And 20 jailbreaks this year alone ? What a mess south of the border !
....
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Seventeen teenagers, many accused of working as hitmen for drug gangs, escaped from a juvenile detention center near the U.S. border on Thursday after digging through an outer wall, police said.
The boys, suspected young drug cartel members often dubbed "narco juniors," scraped a large hole through a brick wall using an iron rod at bedtime in the center in Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California, a police spokesman said.
"They made a hole and no one noticed. Then they hit two guards with the rod and made it through the wall," said the spokesman for Baja California state police, who asked not to be quoted by name.
Police launched a search backed by helicopters. Mexico has experienced more than 20 jailbreaks this year. President Felipe Calderon has made crushing the drug violence the centerpiece of his presidency.
