So all the police have quit after killing 5 officers and the police chief. The article also talks about this:

"Near the northern industrial hub of Monterrey, police found the bodies of two men each hanging by an ankle from a pedestrian bridge. Officers said a witness reported that gunmen strung up the men alive and then shot them.

Such grisly displays at bridges have become common in and around Monterrey as well as in other Mexican cities torn by drug violence."

Every death in Mexico is a result of our fucked up drug laws. The blood is on the hands of our incompetent politicians.

I shouldn't have implied.

Explicitly: drug related death

 

[hanoverphist]

you do realize the same stuff happened long before our incompetent politicians decided we needed to wage a war on drugs, right? people were dying at the hands of cartels before the 90s. im not saying the "war on drugs" isnt detrimental, im just saying its not the main cause of drug related deaths in mexico. people using the drug trade to get more money is the reason. same as it always has been.

The war on drugs was being fought long before the 90's bro

You know using that sh*t is a vice or sin? The users, the suppliers and their associates are all responsible for the deaths. Dont try to hold one side harmless because doing so makes you a drug sympathizer (which is quite evident already).

In other news, Mexico is making headway against the people that supply those idiots. There is positive news along with the negative.

We have been waging the war in a major way since Nixon.

You contradict yourself. You claim the war on drugs isnt the main cause of the these deaths yet admit the deaths happen due to the lucrative black market drug trade made available by our drug laws.

What about the users that have increased the demand for the drugs.

No responsibility there?

FTFY

That said, the laws do suck - it's time to decriminalize weed so people will stop using the shit.

Well, at least he did not blame it all on American imperialism or liberal American gun laws.

They capture less than 5% of the product that comes into this country. They inspect less than 5% of the containers coming through each sea port. Do the math this sub is crumbs on the floor of a bread factory.

You know using that sh*t is a vice or sin?

No. but I do know "what is sin/vice" is a subjective opinion that you are entitled to.

I don't follow what your implying.
