It is going to happen here too. This includes sites like FR — no one is big enough to stop these fellas from deciding to wipe him/her here. Neither you nor I can match their will to silence the truth about the drug trade. They know where everyone lives and what they do and where they go. They have their own intelligence through the legal and illegal Mexicans (and other nationalities) living here. Oilfield workers know almost EVERYTHING about a property on which they work. Can’t say more.
I don't dispute the point. The enemy's intentions are obvious.
But we may be overlooking something: they've targeted journalists because they are easy to manipulate.
Journalists are concerned with one thing: fame. This makes them easy to control. At the same time they are the least protected against intimidation, which makes them vulnerable to coercion.
Time to take the hint??
