On Thursday, August 25, gunmen set the Casino Royale in Monterrey on fire. Gancho reports on the latest death toll and briefly explains what was behind this attack: “Sixty-one people were killed in a casino in Monterrey yesterday, after the owners refused to make extortion payments to the Zetas.” On Twitter Mexicans are using the hashtags #CasinoRoyale, #FuerzaMonterrey, #sinopuedenrenuncien, among others, to express their outrage.
