49 Killed on the South Side

South side of the border that is:

• CADEREYTA JIMENEZ, Mexico (Reuters) - Suspected drug cartel killers in Mexico dumped 49 headless bodies on a highway near the northern city of Monterrey, a sickening atrocity that prompted the government to condemn the "inhuman" violence plaguing the country.
  
  The corpses of 43 men and six women, whose hands and feet had also been cut off, were found in a pile on a highway in the municipality of Cadereyta Jimenez early on Sunday, officials from the state of Nuevo Leon said.
  

It's a good thing Chicago isn't embracing this culture of lawlessness or anything, right?

• Three men — including two members of a Mexican musical group that had just finished performing — were charged with felonies after a late-night birthday celebration in an Hermosa neighborhood residential garage became violent.

  A Mexican ranchera trio had been performing in a garage in the 4700 block of West McLean Avenue when police arrived at 2:40 a.m. May 12 to investigate a noise complaint, prosecutors said.

  As officers approached, one was allegedly punched in the face and tackled by two men – Lino Sarabia-Martinez, 24, and Antonio Villa, 43, both residents of the home, prosecutors said.

  They allegedly tried to unholster the officer’s handgun during a struggle, prosecutors said. When the officer fell to the ground, his baton was taken and used to hit him twice in the head, according to court records. Another officer used a taser on one of the men, prosecutors said.

  A third man, Federico Villa-Martinez, 35, also listed as a resident of the home, allegedly threw a bottle at a police officer before punching him in the nose, Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Ericka Graunke said.

Hmmmmm. We're pretty sure it's only a short step from out of control parties to piles of headless corpses being stacked in the streets.
