GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Armed men opened fire and hurled a grenade into a crowded nightclub early Saturday, killing six people and wounding at least 37 in a western city whose former tranquility has been shattered by escalating battles among drug cartels.
The attack in Mexico's second-largest municipality took place just hours after a shootout between soldiers and presumed cartel gunmen left eight people, including an innocent driver, dead in the northeastern city of Monterrey. Monterrey is Mexico's third-largest city.
In the Guadalajara attack, assailants in a Jeep Cherokee and a taxi drove up to the Butter Club, located in a bar and restaurant district popular with young people, and sprayed it with bullets.
Well, I'm damn glad I'm going to the Bahamas this March and not Mexico, that's for sure. This isn't even crazy drug-war shit going down in the total ghettos of this country anymore...a friggin NIGHTCLUB had a GRENADE hurled into it. Oh, don't forget that it also was "sprayed with bullets." Yeah, that's definitely a place I want to be drunk off my ass, stumbling around wondering what in the hell is going on. Nothing screams "Spring Break!!!" like open gunfire.
