Arrestee Describes Acid Dissolving on Behalf El Teo

TIJUANA — The Mexican military Friday announced the capture in Ensenada of a suspected drug trafficker who confessed to having dissolved the bodies of 300 victims in acid.

Santiago Meza López, 45, was among three men and a girl detained by members of the First Amphibious Group Special Forces Unit and the Federal Police near the toll road between Ensenada and Rosarito Beach.

In a brief interview with reporters in Ensenada, Meza said he was a former construction worker who worked for a drug trafficker named Eduardo Teodoro García Simental, who is known as El Teo. Law enforcement authorities say García is a one-time member of the Arellano Félix cartel who broke off from the organization this year and is believed to be behind much of the brutality in recent months as drug gangs fight over territory.

Meza said the victims were already dead by the time he received them and that he didn't know their identities. He said it took about 24 hours to dissolve them in barrels filled with acid. A military communique described the victims as García's enemies and debtors.

Welcome Back: "Severed Heads in Boxes"

It's been what? a month? two months? since I did a "decapitated heads in boxes" post. But they're back:

Three severed heads inside an ice chest were found Tuesday morning in the plaza in the village of Guadalupe Distrito Bravos, situated east of Juárez, said Chihuahua state police.

The heads were of men who were not yet identified.

Tuesday evening, the body of a man without a head was found by authorities in a sewage canal.

The head of a police commander was found in an ice chest Sunday in a nearby village.

Decapitated heads is the trade mark of what Gulf Cartel affiliated paramilitary group? The Zetas. The answer is: the zetas.

Tips for Self Defense in Prison...

I find myself constantly giving out this kind of advice to people:

The biggest aspect in surviving a real life or death encounter on the streets is protecting yourself as efficiently as possible. Today I will share some powerful self defense destruction tips!

When you are in the middle of a fight your goal for the end game is to escape with as little injury to yourself as possible while destroying the bad guy. If you can't escape, your next idea should be to attack, going all out using every ounce of strength, stamina and violent animal instinct you have.

Part of fighting is being able to protect yourself and absorb incoming blows to your head, midsection, kidneys, your ribs and groin. In this article I will expose a technique on how to destroy your attackers fists when he throws a punch at you.

A very effective tip for protecting your head and face is to hold both your arms in a boxing position in front of your face obviously which is common knowledge.

But this is where my powerful technique comes into the equation!

When the bad guy becomes violent and throws a strike at you, have your lead hand bend backwards holding your ear in your hand to create a triangle for blocking and destroying his knuckles!

Once your assailant pulls his arm back to punch you raise this triangle with your arm, and you will notice the point of your elbow blocks your face and will destroy the knuckles of your opponent.
