Anyway, it's god to know the Mexican police have their priorities straight. God forbid they release the Marine back to US custody and they go after the cartels. That would be too much work.
Are you saying that a couple of individuals (It doesn't care if they're marines in their country, in Mexico they're just a couple of individuals) carrying a gun, are in any way, comparable to a fully organized drug cartel?
Uhhh That is getting me so pissed right now.
America has mafia and gangs and all that -blam!- walking around right now, well thats the same -blam!- thing as a drug cartel. -blam!- it dosen't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.Mexican drug cartels are way more powerful. You compare petty gangs to something that has more power than the Mexican government in many places in Mexico itself. So much so they've started crossing into our southern states and our police forces can't do much about it. Strapping a woman's face to a soccerball, threatening to kill police and their families if they interfere... the Mexican Cartel problem is much larger than any Mafia/Gang the US has... and many times more powerful.
Yes but what is getting me so -blam!- pissed is that people are always syaing "ughghgh they have the cartels they shouldn't be worrying about this type of thing" Sooo in the US they shouldn't worry about petty crimes and such and focus on gang amd mafia violence? Where's the -blam!- logic in that saying? The mexican police handle it just as the US, you can't trial people if you don't have -blam!- evidence.Thing is it is becoming as much as an American problem as it is Mexican. The Mexican drug cartels are established in well over 200 US cities, fueled by our insatiable need for illegal drug consumption, and bolstered by already established US leading gangs. The Joint Forces Command is concerned that this internal conflict will have a major impact on the stability of the Mexican state over the next several years, and therefore would demand an American response based on the implications for homeland security alone. After the JFC broached the issue in its 2008 report, several journalists and academics subsequently discussed in print the possibility that Mexico could become a failed state.
It is not just Mexican police anyway.
- Mexican Army
- Mexican Air Force
- Mexican Navy
- Mexican Naval Infantry
- Mexican Federal Police
- Mexican state and municipal police forces
Casualties for the Mexican military and police are in the thousands with a good thousand or so children dead.
Casualties for the cartels have shot above a hundred twenty thousand.
