Dead gang members make great fertilizer.
If they need bodies for fertilizer they should just have a rap concert and then bury the bullet magnets after they shoot each other.
Watch Somos on Netflix for a very dark Mexican cartel movie. Based on a true story.
I wish these avocado pistoleros would come to Houston and defend my Avocado Tree against the possum that is stealing my avocados.
Artie chokes three for a dollar.
Also watch The Avocado Wars episode on ‘Rotten’ on Netflix.
Good for them.
I remeber 5 or so years ago, when the drug wars were so bad that the mexican farmers couldn’t harvest limes and the price per case quadrupled.
