Hollywood Head was Mexican Drug Cartel Hit
It was a murder mystery made for Hollywood, as well as made in Hollywood…
Two weeks ago, on a hiking trail in the shadow of the iconic Hollywood Sign, a decapitated human head was found in a plastic bag.
It was a moment many have dreaded, when the Drug War raging in Mexico and along the U.S.-Mexican Border finally spilled over into Anytown USA.
The LAPD, the law enforcement agency in charge of the investigation, has apparently been too busy with local crime to realize that decapitation has become a Mexican drug cartel’s signature atrocity.
They announced that until they had a motive, the killers could be anyone.
"Without identifying the victim, and without knowing why this person was killed, and the people that's he's associated with, it could be anything," said Commander Andrew Smith, the officer in charge of the investigation, and chief spokesman in the case.
But that's not strictly true, Chief, is it? A lot of men kill their wives, don't they?
Very few cut their heads off.
Drug cartels are notorious for "signature" murders. Black & Decker sells more chainsaws in Miami than in Washington State. Other "signatures" the "Colombian Necktie" in which the victim's throat is slit, then the tongue pulled backward and down through the opening, usually as a warning to snitches.
