It's my understanding that La Cosa Nostra has usually frowned upon violence against innocent civilians. They will go after rivals, and occasionally the police or prosecutors, but they usually leave bystanders alone.
This means that these thugs are worse than the Mafia.

From the article it sounds like they are just a bunch of sadistic gangs of robbers.

La Cosa Nostra was in for the long run, that’s why they even shunned drugs, well the ‘old guard.’ Plus, any deviation meant certain death. These Mexicans mentioned here are just thugs, and probably organized only at the local level. It makes no sense to to do all that terror for $10K, for example, when you can make that much with a kilo of cocaine. Unless they do it to scare the state in submission or to make some extra cash on the side.
