Mexico’s Kidnapping Epidemic Reaches The Stripper Community (They’re The Ones Kidnapping)

The only two-word combination scarier than “Zombie Apocalypse” is “Kidnapping Strippers.” But in Mexico, where seemingly everyone is fodder for a kidnapping, the seedy and the seamy have combined and led to a rash of men getting kidnapped for ransom in the southern municipality of Pachuca in Hildago. It turns out the men had been frequenting a titty bar where a group of titty girls were getting patrons drunk and stealing their information—addresses, professions, even their salaries—and waiting to pounce. In a bad, kidnapping way, of course… not a good, lap dance way.

The group is presumably responsible for the kidnapping of two minor brothers in Tula, whose father had had relations with one of the prisoners. The young people were released 72 hours later in exchange for 350 thousand pesos.

[T]he women also participated actively in the kidnappings of their victims and later they were in charge of the monitoring during the captivities… [t]wo of the prisoners would have confessed their participation in the crimes and all of them could serve time of up to 40 years of jail.

[Ed Note: By the way, yes we did use Google Translator, for the hilarious effect obviously.]
You know that an area is fucked up when you can’t even go to the strip club to relax. Sure, a fight or two may break out, but there’s always the sweet salvation of a cosmetically-enhanced brunette dancing to “Youth Gone Wild” to take you away. Now you have to worry about getting kidnapped? That’s just wrong. Sure, the gangland killings of journalists tipped us off, but this shows us we know need some government intervention there now!
