Hopefully Trump can keep it bottled up in Mexico as the drug runners are having more trouble crossing the border.

Better border control should keep the heroin deaths down. At least the price will be higher.

In the movie the Untouchables, Connery’s character responds to a Costner character’s question about liquor as follows:

The problem is not finding it, the problem is who wants to cross capone to get to it.

Obscure film?

I believe the film generated one of the first internet memes.

I guess this cartel hasn’t paid their license fee to the Federales in some time, so the Mexican feds came to collect!

Lived in Mexico in the 80s. Back then, their press would show front cover pics of the dead perps that cops shot up in standoffs.

This video fits their SOP.

Naval Infantry Force - The Naval Infantry Force are the Marine Corps and amphibious infantry force of the Mexican Navy. The main task of the Infantería de Marina is to guarantee the maritime security of the country’s ports and external and internal defense of the country. To accomplish these responsibilities, the corps is trained and equipped to take on any type of operations from Sea, Air and Land.

They are very respected and feared by the cartels.
