Is the Mexican government involved any way in the cartel? Are they sponsoring these acts of terror? Is the Mexican government aiding & abetting them???

It might be time for the US military to become better acquainted with our southern neighbor.

Is the Mexican government actually in control of its territory or are the cartels the actual rulers of the border area?

At some point you have to deal with reality instead of legal fictions.

We've given Mexico a free pass for far too long.

We bomb other countries all the time, but not Mexico? Where's the justice in that??

I don't know that we need to bomb Mexico yet but we should consider occupying the border.

Your racism has been reported to the proper authorities.

Our foreign policy is racist, not me. Mexican cartels wreck havoc on our border and we do nothing, because they aren't Muslim?? Do we only bomb Muslims now?? That's racist.

Good thing nobody on the boat was injured.

Vigilante attacks and mob justice appeared to be on the rise in Mexico this week as violence mounted, more than two dozen bodies appeared along roadsides and the government ruled out any new crackdown on criminal gangs.Prosecutors in the northern state of Sinaloa said Thursday five young men have been murdered in recent days, and in all five cases toy cars were carefully placed atop their corpses. The men were apparently car thieves, and the toys indicated both the reason they were killed and served as a warning to other thieves.
The latest such murder came Wednesday. Prosecutors said the victim had been identified as the same man seen on security camera footage earlier that day stealing a pickup truck at gunpoint from a woman outside her home in the state capital, Culiacan.
That same day, a total of seven suspected kidnappers were killed by townspeople in the largest mass lynching in recent memory in the central state of Puebla. Some were beaten, some hanged.
The National Human Rights Commission said 43 people have been killed in lynchings so far this year, and 173 injured. That was up from the already-record year for mob justice in 2018.
"Those who take justice into their own hands commit acts of barbarism, not justice," the commission said.
Vigilantes say they have to act because authorities won't crack down on criminal gangs, which have become more brazen and have begun returning to the grisly mass executions that marked Mexico's 2006-2012 drug war.
On Thursday, the notoriously violent Jalisco cartel killed 19 people whose bodies — in some cases dismembered — were left hanging from an overpass and strewn along a highway in the western state of Michoacan. Another set of four dismembered bodies were found in plastic garbage bags the same day on a highway in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, and a few hours later, five more bodies were found wrapped in garbage bags elsewhere in the state.

Prohibition has some really bad side effects.

And nobody returned fire? Mind boggling.

They have oil.

But keeping our border unguarded has been a higher priority for the Neocons.

Congress should enact a law making it illegal for Mexican Cartel to carry weapons.
