Mexico’s narco culture sings praises of drug violence
On Tuesday, joggers discovered the decapitated boides of three men near a bullfighting ring in Tijuana, yet more casualties of Mexico’s rampant drug violence.
While many Mexicans would be revolted by the grisly murders, there is also a popular subculture that celebrates this sort of violence.
Worldfocus correspondent John Larson, producer Bryan Myers and field producer Ivette Feliciano report on “narco” culture. Megan Thompson shot the piece.

Re: John Mulholland’s comment
With all due respect, Mr. Mulholland, you are an idiot. This country has long been fighting a war on drugs. If we don’t arm the enemy, who the h*ll are we going to fight? If we don’t keep fighting the war on drugs, the next thing you know, we’ll have a pot-smoking president! Geesh.
Re: Your report on drug violence in TJ and Mexico
Sir: I have worked around Latin America for the aslt 15 years. I was impressed that your report pointed out that the guns and drugs that cause this violence are paid for with money from the U.S. This story is repeated in many countries in Latin America. Only when the U.S. realizes that as long as we provide the richest market in the world for illegal drugs will we make the changes necessary delegalize these drugs, close this market, and, as a consequence, stop the cartels from Bolivia to Mexico to operate.
Thank you,
John Mulholland
