How a teacher ended up in the crosshairs of a notorious Mexican (New Generation Jalisco) drug cartel

The cartel that gunned down a North Carolina charter school teacher when he tried to rob one of their stash houses is one of the largest drug trafficking organizations on the planet - and has a penchant for violence, revenge and even cannibalism.

The Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación, or the New Generation Jalisco Cartel, has murdered judges, congressmen, cops and their own brethren in their bloody battle to control the US drug trade and stamp out competition, the Washington Post previously reported.

Last week, authorities say cartel’s members turned their scopes on 40-year-old Barney Harris - a Spanish teacher and basketball coach for Union Academy in Monroe - when he attempted to steal thousands in cash and pounds of cocaine from one of their trailers.

While Harris donned a bulletproof vest for the job, the gear was no match for the ammunition cartel leaders allegedly pumped into his body when they found him inside their stash house, Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said at a news conference.

“It was almost like an old Western shootout,” Johnson said of the gunfire Harris and his brother-in-law exchanged with the cartel members.

The small-town school teacher never stood a chance against a cartel notorious for vicious acts of revenge, public displays of violence and ruthless pursuit of anyone who dares to cross them.

Experience is a hard teacher. Teacher had a hard experience.
