At least six children and three women living in a faith-based community of U.S. citizens in Mexico were shot to death Monday in the northern part of the country, and six more children were wounded after their convoy came under fire during a brazen daylight ambush believed to have been carried out by gunmen affiliated with the cartels.

Alfonso Durazo, Mexico's top security official, confirmed the six deaths, adding that six more children were wounded in the attack, with five transferred to hospitals in Phoenix, Ariz.

He had indicated that one child was still missing, although relatives later appeared to indicate that the girl, Mckenzie Langford, age 9, who had been grazed in the arm by a bullet and had gone for help only to get lost in the dark, was eventually found.


Sad.

I guess since the victims were White, this is why posters like TheMan and highweight are mysteriously quiet about this.

if they're gonna be targeting innocent civilians now, shit just got real and they need to be destroyed .. every last one of them .. make em scared to even think about becoming a cartel member .. trump called on mexico to 'wipe them off the face of the earth' .. he's got the right idea .. but from what I hear the new president is an absolute wimp and he's not interested in tackling that problem

that seems... extreme for a random act of violence. sounds personal.


a brazen daylight ambush believed to have been carried out by gunmen affiliated with the cartels.

which cartel was it? are they known for just massacring people, including small children, for no reason?

i see the mormon sect members had dual citizenship in mexico/'murrica.

is it possible they were running drugs for the cartel?

Mexico is a cowardly country that they still have cartels operating freely within that country with no fear of being stopped by the government.

You don't hear of cartels operating freely in other countries with the exception of the usual suspects. This has been going on for damn near 40 years now. Pathetic excuse of a country that they can't police their own.

would make sense if the mormons were running drugs for one cartel and a rival cartel massacred them as a message.

personally don't see what a business org, even an illegal one, would get out of the random slaughter of children.

but i'm sure more info will come out soon.

La Mora settlement, which is located about 70 miles south of Douglas, Ariz.


The victims were all reportedly dual Mexican and U.S. citizens and were traveling back to the U.S. when they were ambushed, according to Utah's KUTV.

everyone has dual citizenship so they could go in and out of mexico with no problems. their commune or whatever it was is only 70 miles from the border and not too far from tuscon, phoenix, el paso.

last people the feds would expect would be a nice looking family of mormons.

that's gotta be a cartel's dream smugglers.

but we'll wait till more comes out.

they operate freely all over the US. coke and meth are mostly imported from Mexico to the US. nice try.

RIP to the family, but everyone down there knows you were most likely involved in some capacity with the cartel and so you ended up dead. this is a sad truth for many people.

Several LeBaron family members, many of whom live in Utah, took to social media following the massacre and described horrific scenes, including how gunmen opened fire on one child running away while others burned to death inside a car that was torched.

Other young children managed to escape and hide by the roadside while one of the mothers was shot in the chest as she put her hands up to surrender. Relatives fear some of the victims may have been raped.

One family member has described how a boy managed to hide his wounded siblings - some less than a year old - in bushes before he ran back to their community to get help after his mother was gunned down.

i doubt we will ever get the facts on this, it seems like the cartel was been wanting the family/community to run drugs for them and they initially refused. their beef seemingly went away tho until this assault at least.

the same people shocked about this story will continue to purchase their coke or weed or meth, funding these cartels.

want the violence to stop? quit purchasing drugs and selling guns to Mexico.

the DEA literally handed the cartel automatic weapons.


Disgraceful. You have a country with a military that can eliminate these narcos, and the country does nothing. Doesn't matter who's buying the drugs. The country that harbors these criminals and does nothing to stop them is to blame.

Stop blaming others just because you're Mexican. That's the only reason you're saying what you're saying.

think something like 90% of guns used in cartel murders came from 'murrica.

isn't it true also that there's only one official gun shop in all of mexico?


Several LeBaron family members

check the vice news link i posted. the history is WILD. the lebarons aren't clean by any means.


Ervil Morrell LeBaron (February 22, 1925 – August 15, 1981) was the leader of a polygamous Mormon fundamentalist group who ordered the killings of many of his opponents, using the religious doctrine of blood atonement to justify the murders. He was sentenced to life in prison for orchestrating the murder of an opponent, and died there.

He had at least 13 wives in a plural marriage, several of whom he married while they were still underage, and several of whom were involved in the murders.

...

It has been estimated that more than 25 people were killed as a result of LeBaron's prison-cell orders. Many of his family members and other ex-members of the group still remain in hiding for fear of retribution from LeBaron's remaining followers.

dude was the mormon charles manson on steroids.

this is very disturbing to me personally. especially because of what they did to the children. the people that did this are absolute cowards, and everyone in that area wants justice. no one wants to hear or see this happen.

and yes it does matter who is buying the drugs, america is actively making this happen. you don't want to admit this however, no american does.

yes. people in mexico are pissed off bc the president is being too nice.

mexico has a large military, and with previous encounters, they always win. the only times cartels win is when they cowardly ambush a small convoy, but that's simply bc they are outnumbered.

pretty much all the cartel runs away when the military is on their way...and they run into the mountains to hide.

You act as if the cartels would be handing out bibles if they didn't have access to guns coming from America.



The fact remains is that you have a country who is riddled with cartels that murder on a daily basis and poison the rest of the world with drugs, and yet does nothing about it.


highweight the hypocrite even admitted it himself. The Mexican army can annihilate these cartels in a few days, but the government does nothing.

Instead, Hollywood makes movies about these cartel leaders and glorifies this type of criminality.

the american government helped mexico infest itself with cartels. DEA/CIA both helped them establish themselves.

this country continue to feed BILLIONS and weapons to cartels.

$750 per weappn....probably fully automatic rifles in there too. That seems like a great deal.

While there is gun violence in this country, there is less than there was 20-30 years ago.

It says a lot about the low lifes you're hanging out with...I literally don't know a single person here who is involved with a cartel, nor have I ever met someone who lost a loved one to cartel violence. Most people killed by cartels are up to no good, fact.
THIS.

it's a sad and unfortunate truth. I know a lot of people in Mexico, so do my Hispanic friends, I personally don't know a family or individual with a lost friend or family to the cartel.

One of my friends from Culiacan said most of the people that end up dead are involved in some capacity, and he lived there during some violent years.

I have lived in the US my whole life. Only 2 people that I personally knew have been murdered here. On the other hand I have personally known 3 Mexicans who returned to their country and were murdered, and I have known 2 who were kidnapped for ransom, one of which was a very, very wealthy rancher who was an associate of my father. I know a lot more Americans than I do Mexicans so in my small world, that country is dangerous as hell. I have doubts I'll ever return.

the cartel charges money to cross drugs across state lines. these Mormons are placed right at the crossing between Chihuahua and Sonora. Seems like the mormons got tired of the taxes and spoke up. Cartel retaliated. Probably more complex than that, but that seems to be the word on the street according to my sources.

I can't believe you're arguing this :oldlol:

it's not about numbers/sheer size. the 'murrican army is built for traditional warfare. as vietnam proved and afghanistan/iraq reiterated- it is clearly not built for prolonged guerilla style warfare.

fighting the cartels would be similar to fighting the taliban. mexico has a ton of mountain ranges that the cartels could escape to in case of a massive land invasion of their territories. they have billions of dollars, unlimited weapons arsenals courtesy of 'murrica, and the protection of politicians and local citizens. i bet they've built elaborate underground/in-ground facilities in the mountains for just this contingency.

if the u.s. military invaded mexico, it'd just be another pointless expensive war we'd be in 20 years from now.

if all it took to take them out was a full on military assault, the mexican military (277k active members, more than the united kingdom and germany) would've wiped out the cartels decades ago.

One problem with your argument though is the cartels are not an ideology or religion. They are strictly for-profit. They might have billions now but a war vs the US will drain that dry with no more to come. Do you think their soldiers will be willing to throw away their lives when they are no longer getting paid?

I'm pretty sure the US military can easily locate and take out a significant amount of their cocoa and marijuana farms if they wanted to. The cartels right now operate with impunity because the locals are scared of them. That wouldn't be the case if the US military were after them. Also, unlike Afghanistan or Vietnam, we would have the support of the locals. Maybe they wouldn't be wiped out but they would certainly be crippled.

the taliban was and still in the business of poppy cultivation for the international heroin market. the cartels are actually their biggest customers.


Afghanistan's opium poppy harvest produces more than 90% of illicit heroin globally, and more than 95% of the European supply.

has nothing to do with ideology or religion. many cartels are heavily into catholicism and even have patron saints.

there really is no difference between the two.


They might have billions now but a war vs the US will drain that dry with no more to come. Do you think their soldiers will be willing to throw away their lives when they are no longer getting paid?

yeah, their revenue would not dry up. again, the taliban had 45k members at the time of the invasion in '01, they are up to 60k now, their opium production has skyrocketed, and just a few weeks ago maga was in talks to surrender to them.

would be the same thing in mexico. when has a war on drugs by the 'murrican gov ever resulted in losses for criminal organizations? prohibition, even when enforced with police/military, has always meant bigly increased profits for criminals. with no exceptions.

the only party that would lose $ in that enterprise would be the 'murrican tax payer.


I'm pretty sure the US military can easily locate and take out a significant amount of their cocoa and marijuana farms if they wanted to.

so why don't they? :confusedshrug:


Also, unlike Afghanistan or Vietnam, we would have the support of the locals.

not only do they have the support of locals, they have the support of the politicians they have on their payroll.

one of el chapo's henchmen who turned state's evidence claimed the sinaloa cartel paid the president of mexico $100 million (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/15/nyregion/el-chapo-trial.html)

again, if all it took to take out the cartels was an overwhelming military force, the mexican army would've wiped them out in the 90s.

I ain't trying to sugarcoat our problems, of course there are places in Mexico that are extremely dangerous, but most of the country doesn't have these problems. Come on bro, you know how the US media is, they make it seem like the whole country is under siege. Americans, Canadians and Europeans are retiring to Mexico by the thousands each year, I've posted videos of this. They are moving to places that have no cartel violence. Unfortunately for these Mormons, they live in one of the more dangerous places in Mexico. I wouldn't live there even if they paid me, fortunately me and my family live in one of the safest cities here, there is literally no cartel violence here so all this news about drug violence is as foreign to me as it is to you.

The vast majority of those killed are involved in one way or another in criminal organizations, obviously some innocent people have been killed, I won't deny that but it's a fact that most cartels don't mess with the citizenry, they aren't dumb, they know that if all the people rise up against them, there days would be numbered. As it is, most folks are too scared to rat them out because these cartels are ruthless, they not only go after the whistleblowers, they go after their wives, children and friends. These guys ain't messing around. The money is so great that they have the police and local politicians on their payroll, the plomo o plata deal. Turn a blind eye and you get money, try to be a hero and end up dead along with your loved ones, it isn't much of an option. Some of the cartels, not all, are also involved in kidnapping rich people, extortion, raketeering, sex slave trade etc... The Zetas were extremely brutal, they went after the citizenry, they gave no fukks, the other cartels (including El Chapo's) saw them as bad for business so a few of them teamed up and proceeded to wipe out the Zetas, thats why you don't hear about them anymore.

Let's be honest, if all it took was for the military to go full ham on the cartels, they would've been wiped out by now since Felipe Calderon declared war on them in 2006 but that hasn't happened. You kill or capture a capo, another pops up to take his place. You kill dozens of sicarios, dozens more a recruited. The most sensible option is legalizing drug use, you take the criminal element out, you tax that shit and you fund programs to get people off drugs. People will always want to get high, just like how Prohibition was a complete failure, people will always want to get their drink on. Seriously, if heroine were legal, are you gonna buy that shit? Anyone who wants to get heroine right now, they could easily find it, you can't legislate that problem away. You need to get to the root of the issue, why do some people feel the need to take that garbage?

The US military intervention isn't happening. Cartel members don't go around with uniforms declaring themselves as cartel members. The US military would have to get down and dirty and smoke them out where they are...of course the military would kill a whole more cartel members than cartel member killing US soldiers but the fact is that some US military personnel will die, how do you think the American public will respond? What if a US convey gets ambushed and captured and they get tortured and beheaded on video? What happens if the US military kills innocent civilians? You think the Mexican population will support them? Its not as easy as Trump makes it seem...also the sovereignty issue will come up by the opposition parties. No country likes seeing an army of another nation in their country. Just ask Iraqis, Afghanis, Vietnamese etc.

prohibition accomplishes nothing but turning petty street criminals into multi billion dollar conglomerates that can hold entire nations hostage.

alcohol was treated the same as heroin for a time in 'murrica, all that accomplished was to turn some small time italian and jewish extortionists and pickpockets into legendary powerful crime figures. gave birth to la cosa nostra.

The American mafia thrived in the 20s and 30s because of the inane decision to illegalize alcohol. A child's idea of morality. You could say that removing the restrictions on alcohol didn't magically eradicate the mafia, but it certainly knocked a leg off their stool and forced them to move on to other things like gambling.

Why would the situation with Mexican cartels and other drugs be so different? I say legalize everything and add the same or stricter regulations that we have around the creation, distribution and consumption of alcohol.

It's true, I've never been affected by drug violence, not even when I lived in Tijuana from 2005 to 2011 when TJ was a cartel battlefield and almost every morning we'd wake to the news of more people murdered (cartel members going at it). We were like, let them kill themselves :lol

I do recall this one time the husband of one of my cousins almost became a civilian casualty though. He worked very late that night, it was about 2 in the morning, he was driving in his late model pick up truck, he was singing along to the radio and there was hardly any traffic, he got to a red light, stopped and turned to his right when a car pulled up alongside him, he was still happily singing when he noticed a dude in the backseat pointing a shotgun at him and the driver yelled "no es el, wey!" which means "it's not him, bro!". They sped off immediately and he said it took him a moment to recover from the shock...my cousin's husband was about to get blown away because the sicarios thought the truck belonged to someone they were ordered to wack.

Yeah, they moved from TJ after that, and so did we shortly after :lol

We're assuming though with this belief that human beings as a whole are all responsible and smart individuals with the mental capacity to understand right from wrong and with the mental fortitude to be able to conquer bad habits.

That's fantasy land.


Even though hard drugs are illegal and carry stiff consequences, the American public has a drug problem. Thousands of people die on a daily basis from drug addictions or drug-related offenses, and this all happens while drugs remain illegal.

Making it more accessible to the public doesn't curb drug-related deaths, it only multiplies it. You then create this chain reaction of having more people in hospitals, higher insurance rates as result, and less availability of average medical care for those citizens who refrain from using drugs.


All this does is shift the problem from one area to another. Does not solve the drug epidemic whatsoever.

Why are people still taking drugs you ask? Because they're so easily accessible. Because cartels exist.


I cannot answer the question of why alcohol and cigarettes are legal. I don't partake in either one. I can only say that the efforts against the tobacco industry to put an end to smoking have been effective.

And again, all you guys are saying is that if one is legal, then all should be legal. How do you justify this? Do you not foresee the consequences?


If Meth was legal, I would not smoke meth. I know it's a poison. But knowing the consequences of meth use, how can you justify the legalization of it? Legalizing Meth doesn't create less Meth users. It creates more.

If you want drugs right now, you can get them easily no matter if they are illegal of not. Legalizing them isn't gonna make someone who doesn't want drugs go off and get them, its not that complicated. Upside, more tax revenue, safer drugs, money to fund programs to get people to stop using them (like AA for alcohol), no more drug cartel violence etc.

You are arguing that more people will get hooked on drugs if they are legal...simply not the case because anyone that wants to take drugs NOW can do so. You agree with me that they are easily accessible, so what's stopping someone who wants coke from purchasing it today?

My point, those who want drugs can do so right now, those who don't won't. Their legal status isn't gonna make people who know better suddenly become junkies.

That's why my analogy on beastiality is appropriate, people who wannna fukk an animal are doing so right now, legalizing it won't spawn a whole generation of dudes wanting to bang a chimp :confusedshrug:


LOL because there are plenty of people who don't want to break the law. If you decriminalize weed, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, whatever, then you automatically create a curiosity and an easier avenue for those who would otherwise not try it themselves or at least purchase it illegally. See my point? Decriminalize prostitution and I guarantee you you'll have a lot more people having sex in hotels and a lot more people cheating on their spouses.

By your logic, you're telling me that the amount of drug users would either stay the same or decrease by decriminalizing drugs. That's just not remotely possible in any scenario. Drug use would rise astronomically.

What is your point? It's all poison. What happens when you drink too much alcohol? You can kill yourself or you can kill others. Legalizing all drugs just because "uhhh alcohol is legal derp derp" doesn't solve anything.
holy shit you're ****ing retarded. the worst part is that you think you're actually making a clever point.

legalizing most drugs will inevitably happen. legalization doesn't increase usage, it just prevents black market funding and turns it into tax revenue. you can spend some of that money on infrastructure, on educating people on the dangers of drugs, or whatever is important.


there's literally zero benefit for society when you keep weed, mdma, shrooms, even cocaine illegal. unless you're in an industry that directly benefits from the drug war. we learned all of these lessons already from prohibition.

Having this Libertarian belief that we should allow humans to do whatever they want with no consequences and "let natural selection run its course" only creates the downfall to society. At some point, YOU are going to have to deal with these people and the strain it will create to the economy.

Canada's marijuana use stayed the same after legalization.


Second quarter 2019: Almost five million Canadians report using cannabis
From mid-May to mid-June 2019, about 4.9 million or 16% of Canadians aged 15 and older reported using cannabis in the previous three months. This was unchanged from what was reported one year earlier (before legalization) for the provinces and from the last time estimates for the territorial capitals were collected.

People who wants drugs can get them now, no one is not doing drugs because they are illegal :roll: The Canadian study bears this out.

the taliban was and still in the business of poppy cultivation for the international heroin market. the cartels are actually their biggest customers.Sure they are, I never said the cartel would be wiped out, I said they would be greatly weakened. The Taliban used to run Afghanistan, they've been on their defensive for quite some time now.




has nothing to do with ideology or religion. many cartels are heavily into catholicism and even have patron saints.

there really is no difference between the two.
What I'm saying is people are willing to die for ideologies, especially if they are fanatics. Not as many people will be willing to sacrifice themselves to a guaranteed death going up against the US military when they have other options (albeit less lucrative).




yeah, their revenue would not dry up. again, the taliban had 45k members at the time of the invasion in '01, they are up to 60k now, their opium production has skyrocketed, and just a few weeks ago maga was in talks to surrender to them.

would be the same thing in mexico. when has a war on drugs by the 'murrican gov ever resulted in losses for criminal organizations? prohibition, even when enforced with police/military, has always meant bigly increased profits for criminals. with no exceptions.

the only party that would lose $ in that enterprise would be the 'murrican tax payer.



so why don't they? :confusedshrug:
Again, I'm not saying the cartels won't be around, but they will be on the run and playing defense. They won't be living the high life with impunity in Mexico like they are doing now. No more huge mansions with Lambos and pet tigers. No more partying it up in the hottest night clubs. They will be driven to the mountains and living in caves. What up and coming gang banger with $$$ in his eyes would want to live like that?




not only do they have the support of locals, they have the support of the politicians they have on their payroll.

one of el chapo's henchmen who turned state's evidence claimed the sinaloa cartel paid the president of mexico $100 million (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/15/nyregion/el-chapo-trial.html)

again, if all it took to take out the cartels was an overwhelming military force, the mexican army would've wiped them out in the 90s.
Again, this will only work with the support of the highest elected officials. If they stopped fearing assassination and blackmail from the cartels then a US backed Mexican war against the cartels will deal a heavy blow. It won't wipe them out, but they won't be getting away with this overt and brazen shit anymore. El Chapo Jr. won't be getting released.

A better example is Colombia. It used to be a war zone narco state. The gangs are still there, but it's been much more peaceful in recent decades. Hell, I've been to bachelor parties there and it's fun as hell.

I was just answering your question. I don't even care if usage goes up a little bit.

My point is that legalization would go a long way to fix that exact problem that you brought up - the reason the streets are infested with drugs and druggies in the first place is because of the war on drugs. you're funding criminals and aren't fixing anything.

Legalize the substances, put the druggies in a corner and give them access (many of them are mentally ill or useless to society already), use the tax dollars on infrastructure and building/growing/fixing your cities.

it's that ****ing simple. people that are responsible and that have lives won't suddenly become drug addicts because drugs are legal. instead you'll fix a million other problems.

legalization solves INTERNAL criminality as well. it's not just the cartels that are criminals, your streets are filled with criminals taking advantage of this broken system. the areas hit hardest by drug abuse need to profit and benefit from legalization as well, which will be easy because the pie will be massive when you start keeping the funds and stop giving it to gangs and cartels, or corrupt politicians and the corrupt interests they serve.

cartel members die by the tens of thousands every year. they have proven they are more than ready to die for their movement.

people are under the impression that the taliban is just a bunch of cave dwelling islamist fanatics who just pray all day every day and commit jihad.

nope. in practical terms they are no different than the mexican cartels. they are first and foremost the world's #1 supplier of opioids/heroin who work hand-in-hand with criminal orgs on every continent, the mexicans included.




like i said before, would not be surprised to learn that they have already built high end bunker systems in the mountains for such a contingency. it's what i'd do in chapo's position. :confusedshrug:




aka it would never work. :lol




right because the center of the drug trade moved north. even if you took out the mexican cartels, someone else would just pick up the slack. too much $ at stake.

fun fact- before medellin and the cartels were the #1 suppliers for 'murrican junkies, the french connection entry into the country was through canada. specifically the montreal arm of the bonanno crime family. virtually all of the smack that came into the country during the first heroin epidemic of the 60s-70s came through the northern border.

This should never be a reason to legalize marijuana. It should be to keep "criminals" out of jails for something minor as smoking marijuana.

By introducing a tax, are you going to send someone to jail for selling marijuana tax free?

You think that arresting and fining people for selling loose cigarettes a productive use of time? That's what is happening now. Maybe poor people still can't afford legal marijuana - you gonna throw them in jail for buying off the streets still?
I'm not sure what you're referring to. I'm saying legalize and decriminalize it and give people the option of buying it legally. When you legalize it you give people the option of growing it themselves as well, so there's no need to enforce anything like that.

But when you sell it in a store, you tax it and it's still the same as street prices when you include that tax, except a good chunk of that goes to the your provincial or state government, and a chunk goes to the federal government.

https://business.financialpost.com/cannabis/cannabis-business/governments-raked-in-186-million-in-taxes-on-cannabis-trade-in-first-five-months-of-legalization

Canada is just a small population, less than 40 million people. Imagine rolling that out to 300+ million people. People that are smoking marijuana already. Can do some real good with those funds.

Mass shooters all have a mental problem. We have a mental problem in this country. We've been saying this for years, while the blowhards in the media want you to believe we have a gun problem instead.

The shootings are not forgotten, but our government officials refuse to address the real problem behind it. Look at your faux-Mexican Beto. He wanted to confiscate your AR-15's and AK-47's, and if you didn't comply, you go to jail. Guess where he's at right now? Out of the race.

I could care less what the race of the victims are. Why do you automatically assume that if you're White and Conservative, that you're some sort of bigot? The first people who usually mention race tend to lean Left in my experiences. Weird, huh?

Right, but I was referring to the graph that was posted showing the high number of deaths. Big difference between death caused by your own negligence (drug overdose), vs another individual taking a life. No one can defend the # of deaths caused by the cartel in Mexico because the number is simply too astronomically high compared to everywhere else in the world.

You do realize that these people getting executed on video are cartel members, or in the case of the uncle and nephew one, ratting cartel info to a rival cartel? They aren't nabbing civilians off the streets and torturing/executing them on video just because they got nothing else better to do..

There are extremely dangerous places in Mexico, smart to avoid those, the rest of the country just has your normal crime that occurs anywhere else in the world. If you aren't involved in any cartel business, you're chances of ending up in a cartel video are basically nil.

Damn, the cartel mowed down a bunch of police officers today, killing 5 of them. No one arrested. The president will probably come out on Monday and urge patience and restraint to law enforcement acting out against the cartels.

You do realize that these people getting executed on video are cartel members, or in the case of the uncle and nephew one, ratting cartel info to a rival cartel? They aren't nabbing civilians off the streets and torturing/executing them on video just because they got nothing else better to do..

There are extremely dangerous places in Mexico, smart to avoid those, the rest of the country just has your normal crime that occurs anywhere else in the world. If you aren't involved in any cartel business, you're chances of ending up in a cartel video are basically nil.

yeah I'm aware it's usually cartel on cartel violence but a 6 yr old isn't part of any cartel .. my point is they'll kill whoever they have to and in the most horrific way .. yes, it's usually gang on gang but innocents can get caught up .. but you live there and know how things are better so I'll take your word for it but I'm not risking that shit lol

43 students (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/cartel-members-arrested-in-hunt-for-43-kidnapped-students-a6828741.html) is one case that comes to mind.

A post from one of the Mexican commenters about the funky town video:


The video was first uploaded on September 26th in 2016, so I guess it was created just a few days before that day.

From what I know the killers in this video are members of the Sinaloa Cartel and judging by their accents I guess they are from Chihuahua. Of course the Sinaloa Cartel isn't the only cartel operating in Chihuahua, but they are the strongest cartel in that area.

Cartel killings are "normal" here (depending on where you live), but usually the sicarios don't go to such an extreme like the killers in that video did. Most victims get shot.

How I feel about it? Well, I just hope I never get kidnapped by a cartel. Quite in contrary to what many people say the cartels don't just target rival cartel members or people who mess with them. ANYONE can be a victim. It doesn't matter if you're a rival, a lawyer, a police officer, a government official or a soldier. Maybe you're just unable to pay an extortion fee. Maybe you're just related to a rival cartel member or a policeman. Maybe it's your dad who can't pay the extortion fee and they kidnap YOU to make your dad pay?. There are a lot of reasons. There are also civilians dying in shootouts just because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's not like the cartels care about them.

A post from one of the Mexican commenters about the funky town video:
Can you find a post where I said that 100% of the victims of cartel violence are other cartel members? I am aware that some civilians can get caught up in a crossfire...but facts are facts, the vast majority that have been killed are up to no good. Extortion and kidnappings, that happens in other parts of the world too, cartel violence doesn't except in countries like MX and some Central and South American countries (obviously not to extent that unfortunately is happening in MX).

Your agenda is to paint Mexico as negatively as you can, as if the cartel victims are mostly civilians...they aren't. You want me to post links of American kids being killed in gang shootouts in Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis etc? One happened just recently on Halloween night, little girl got shot in the neck...stop pretending that shit only happens in Mexico.

I've said numerous times, there are extremely dangerous places in MX, but the majority of the country isn't...facts back up my statement..

And at least we don't get incel mass shooters murdering people randomly over here...must be tough leaving your kids off at school each morning not knowing if that'll be the last time you see them alive.

correct.

what is of problem is your government directly put over 1,000 weapons in the hands of cartels at a low price of $750/weapon. this is are the estimated figures from 1 mission, the fast and furious mission. other similar missions have been carried out without any estimated figures. do you have any comment?

thats bc Mexico knows it's suspicious.

150 DEA agents showed up to Mexico 3 months ago.

All of a sudden shit starts sturring up.

NOT A WORD on the street on which cartel was behind the killing of this fam. VERY strange bc behind every killing, the street keeps their ear to the ground. When those 43 kids went missing, everyone knew who was behind it. Strange indeed. Is there an american agency that has along history of stirring shit up to destabilize a region???

i think they played a part or let it happen. remember, the FBI allowed the murder of Malcom X, they knew about it. The FBI at the time knew about the racial tensions between the Italian Mafia and the Black Community in Harlem. They had more surveillance on Malcom X then the Mob.

It's like blaming McDonald's for making him fat. Yeah, it's readily available and potentially harmful. But he's the free-willed being going out of his way to consume it.

Anything to deflect responsibility.

There have been 114 children killed in school shootings in the last 10 years. Even 1 is too many but it's not an epidemic. Most of those were not mass shootings but in the ghetto. A child is 30x more likely to drown in the home pool. A person in the US is anywhere between 50x-250x, depending on who's figures you believe, more likely to die by an illegal alien than die by a shooting at school.

I visit Mexico frequently and this pisses me off. I hope they catch these ****ers and just slaughter them. These mother ****ers kill babies. It's sickening.
