“I really hate the term drug cartel.”

You know, you’re really right about this and make a great point. The so-called “drug cartels” actually are just full-fledged crime groups engaged in all the typical rackets (extortion, prostitution, immigrant smuggling, drugs), and they often are broad based cultural institutions in their communities involved with everything from dirty politics and local aid.

As far as I can tell, there’s zero evidence of drugs in this case.

The media uses the term “drug cartel” as if they are some kind of legitimate business!....According to the way this story was covered in the video by the media it was the jet skiers own fault!.....This is absolutely incredible!
