Some here think the drug cartels are something more than what they are: a bunch of illiterate Mexicans with machine guns and wads of cash not caring whether the people they kill are infants, children, or old people. They just follow orders to push drugs to the USA. I can’t wait for the movie portraying this bunch of 18th century bandits as international internet savvy suit wearing debonair attractive dark haired and mysterious men in their early 30’s.
I worked for the district counsel for the IRS one year in law school, under a guy who was researching a mafia case. It was interesting to learn that these were just foul-mouthed, greedy thugs. Absolutely no glamour or mystique, like the movies. No reason to think Zetas are any better, and much reason to think they are even baser. It’s important to keep perspective.
