According to records kept by El Universal Mexico's largest newspaper they report since 2005, the 24 hours of last Monday alone was the most violent for the year in the country, with 58 murders linked to organized crime. This figure surpasses the record set on Sept 12, 2008 when 41 murders occurred within a 24-hour period. Both records occurred in the same year. Among those murdered just in one day were seven police commanders and officers. One police officer was wounded and the severed head of a private security guard was left in a gasoline station restroom. The overwhelming majority of main news items in Mexico on any given day is the killings and violence that happen in Mexico on a daily bases. At the current rate of violent deaths in Mexico it is projected that the number will reach 5,000. That is more deaths than in the Iraq war, where we as Americans are spending 10 billion per month of tax payer's money to support that war and have over 150, 000 troops and other Americans in country today.
