They seem to be an outgrowth and rival to an Evangelical Christianity-oriented drug gang called La FamiliaThe warnings, signed by the the Knights Templar gang …
Here is a news article from last year about Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar.)
As the name suggests, these narcos are inspired by the Jerusalem-based crusaders who fought in the name of Christ between 1119 and 1312, at which point the Pope disbanded them. But unlike their medieval idols, these thugs cook up methamphetamines, or crystal meth, and have left scores of mutilated corpses strewn about Michoacán since their emergence as a group in March.Anyone who follows Mexico’s mayhem, which has resulted in almost 40,000 gangland murders since 2007, will find the news of drug-dealing Christian zealots unsettlingly familiar. The Knights are a breakaway group from the “narco-Evangelical” cartel known as La Familia Michoacana, which burst onto the scene in Michoacán five years ago by throwing five severed heads onto a discotheque dance floor.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2079430,00.htmlBut they soon began murdering many of their old friends in La Familia. This points to another key problem in Mexico’s drug war: when cartel capos are taken down, their lieutenants battle for the crown. Because former cartel mates are often in the same towns and know where one another’s homes are, the internecine fights are particularly devastating. On a single day this month, June 9, thugs displayed 21 rival corpses outside the Michoacán capital, Morelia. Two weeks earlier, fighting between Knights and La Familia loyalists was so fierce that about 1,000 people temporarily fled their villages.
