Maybe another election somewhere had this much killing, but it's bad news down in Mexico. I spoke with a Canadian friend living in central Mexico and it was the violence that he kept talking about. This is another example:
Tailed by trucks of heavily armed soldiers, four caskets floated on a sea of hundreds of mourners. Neighbors peered nervously from their homes as the crowd pushed past shuttered businesses, empty streets and political campaign posters plastering the small Mexican town of Huitzilac.
Days earlier, armed men in two cars sprayed a nearby shop with bullets, claiming the lives of eight men who locals say were sipping beers after a soccer match. Now, fear paints the day-to-day lives of residents who say the town is trapped unwillingly in the middle of a firefight between warring mafias.
As Mexico’s expanding slate of criminal groups see the June 2 election as an opportunity to seize power, they have picked off more than 100 people in politically-motivated killings, including about 20 candidates this year, and warred for turf, terrorizing local communities like Huitzilac.
“The violence is always there, but there’s never been so many killings as there are today. One day they kill two people, and the next they kill another,” said 42-year-old mother Anahi, who withheld her full name out of fear for her safety, on Tuesday. “When my phone rings, I’m terrified that it’ll be the school saying something has happened to my kids.”
Imagine that. The phone rings and mom is concerned that something happened to her kids.
To be fair, cartel violence is not new to Mexico. However, this violence surrounding the election is a bit different. In the past, a lot of violence was gang killing gang over routes or territory. In this case, the deaths are candidates or...

How long until the cartels are doing this here?
Mexican drug gangs have been violent in Yakima WA for decades:

They will be doing this here thanks to. Crime Boss Joey.
Why do Dems think we can import 3rd world people by the million and not their cultures and problems? No need to answer.
BTW
They like to say McCarthy was involved in a witch hunt. Oddly enough he found no witches but plenty of communists in government, education and media. Did you ever see this?:

Trump was right. Go in and bomb the cartels into carbon and vapor.
A little of the Mexico that I saw as a little kid, what I saw as an adult man who spent his time in Mexico alone was more violent and dangerous with bribes and ugliness and death close. Mexico is not the place the resort vacationers think it is.
Things that stood out to me about Mexico as a little boy were seeing burglar bars on the windows and not understanding them, seeing broken glass embedded on top of all of the walls surrounding the houses, having to pay the men on the sidewalks to not molest your car when you parked it, the cruelty they displayed to the starving dogs, the constant street hustles and cons, and the atmosphere of dishonesty among everyone, including the children, all of it mixed with that humble subservient peasant peon facade.
I even saw a bar where the footrest was also a tiled urinal that ran the entire length of the bar so you could pee while drinking your beer and of course the mystery of the mass appeal of the cruelty of the bullfight.
Why doesn’t the biden mal-administration ask it’s cartel buddies to stop doing this?
Sooner or later a cartel or a coalition of cartels will seize the government. It is already happening here in a small way with targeted killings for turf. It will escalate until it triggers some real vigilante action which will at first get citizens arrested and imprisoned for civil rights violations against murderer gangs which will continue in existence so long as the government feels it needs them to destabilize the population. We have now basically a gangster government and it will clash with the other gangs- the cartels- eventually when they get dangerous to the rulers.
Mebbe some of the arsholes running Mexico need to make a run down to ElSalvador.
At some point it has to be; shoot first and sort it out later. And,if in doubt, just shoot. That is how you must deal with rabid dogs.
Soon
Been saying it for years, at some point, the US will have to occupy Mexico.
It just isn’t fair we Americans don’t live in third world violent s holes so democrats imported the architects of violent turd world s holes here. And best part about it, they took our money to fund it.
They already are, just not to the degree it is there. Yet.
Since this is what we’re importing, expect to see more of it.
I think some of the people we are importing are worse than the cartels from Mexico.
Unfortunately, true.
This is better compared to Chiraq than Cambodia.
While sad, Mexico’s 100 victims doesn’t compare to a government led campaign of forced labor, re-education, and starvation that killed 2,000,000 or more which was the 25% of the population.
