President Felipe Calderon declared three days of mourning on Friday and demanded a crackdown on drugs in the United States after armed men torched a casino in northern Mexico, killing at least 52 people.

Under intense pressure as violence soars, Calderon said he would send more federal security forces to the city of Monterrey, where gunmen set fire to an upmarket casino on Thursday in one of the worst attacks of Mexico’s drugs war.

Lashing out at corrupt officials in Mexico and “insatiable” U.S. demand for drugs for fomenting the violence, Calderon urged Congress to stamp out drug consumption and stop illegal trafficking of weapons across the border into Mexico.

  1. Maybe they will come here and do the same at TIME magazine. There was a fire.

  2. Operation burning bush.

  3. Why did the ATF walk some matches to messico?

  4. Another person here who doesn’t use drugs and does nit own a gun. F**k you Calderon, please die.

  5. F**k Calderon, he is a corrupt pos. There is a reason why drug cartel haven’t killed him yet, because he helps them.

    I hope someone kills that piece of s**t.

    F**k Mexico.

    And f**k you Obama and napolitano for not securing the southern border and deporting the illegal roaches that are invading us,

  6. If Calderon wants a crackdown on drugs then I suggest he cracks down on the CIA!!
    He’s just another NWO shill or he would attack the punk-ass CIA. Hey CIA -you bunch
    of punkass morons – why don’t you send some of your hitmen after me??
    I’m bored. You punks bore me!!

  7. so much insanity been seen in the world! yikes!

  8. Well look at the little yappy dog that’s barking now.
    You keep your dirty little illegal Mexicans on your side of the border.
    And if you find any Americans bring guns into your country kill them.
    Because they are most likely government or BATFE workers.

    • Anything that punk says is just a show.

  9. Calderon, along with george h.w. bush, clinton, g.w. bush and now barry soetoro are all alCIAda, I mean CIA. Who is the #1 organized crime drug cartel in the entire world??? the CIA – go figure…
    With a little help from the ATF, DHS, DEA, FBI, etc., etc., etc……………….

    • Yeah, they’re all just a bunch of evil scumbag punks. They probably suck their
      thumbs and wear diapers when they go home.

  10. @Lavon… I am glad to see people like you.. very much awake on the real reasons behind the events.

    @Americancitizen…. when they say “Americans”, they are not talking about you !! but to the ones that really control things in this country. Now, the sad part is that when you travel abroad, you, as an American, will be target for the atrocious things that those in power do around the world. They may think you are one of them, but you know that you do not even agree with their policies; or do you? do you approve the ATF actions in mexico?

  11. deport the illegals and the drug consumption in this country goes down 90 percent…

    • that’s probably the dumbest thing i’ve ever read in my life with or without the illegals america is the biggest consumer of drugs in the world just because there is illegal immigrants doesn’t change it it’s sad people think that way…. but wait Obama probably told you that huh?

  12. yep.. it is my fault ..i dont use drugs..i dont own a gun..it is not the millions of illegal here taking jobs and using that money to funnel crap up their noses… nope..not the mexicans fault at all..i can not believe the balls of the calderon…these guys.. calderon..obama..and the lot have got to be stopped… you are right again 51… it is getting way too out of hand ..they are turning this world into a sick circus…

  13. I’m guessing that the fires were set because extortion money was not paid by the casino owners. Many people are killed in mexico because they don’t or can’t pay the extortion or ransome money.

    So what do our guns and stupid drug laws have to do with the mexican drug cartel savages and their unending crimes of extortion and kidnapping?

    NOTHING!!!

    • the fact that your guns end up in the hands of the drug cartels and that’s why they have the power to do the things they do

      • The gov gives the guns to them. I guess you haven’t been ‘looking4truth
        very hard, have you??

      • want the truth?

        the mexican people allowed themselves to be disarmed and look what happened!

        we can’t let it happen here!

  14. the CI Alcida is not going to let a little thing like murder interfere with a 500 billion dollar a year business. Let’s not forget about how much they made off the weapons exchange. As sad as this is, thats the price of doing business with the globalist. As for the families and the victims you are in my prayers.

  16. Get ready for the govt to use this as a reson to start beating up and robbing children and people like willlie nelson. crackdown” means more females hit by cops, more handicapped kids shot by them, more bums stomped out, more rights violated.

    • That sounds like a pretty safe bet to me.

  17. Get ready for news headlines that sound increasingly bizarre.
