MATAMOROS, Tamaulipas — The failed strategy by the Mexican government has created a new issue in this border city where organized crime has tried to diminish common crime in an effort to lower public attention. Drug cartels appear to be succeeding in lowering common crime, something that the State of Tamaulipas has failed in.
“They cut my fingers off for being a thief,” the tattoo on the forehead of a suspected criminal explained. Information obtained by this outlet points to the victim being connected to a series of burglaries in the city. His kidnapping and torture appear to be a “lesson” on behalf of cartel members. The objective of the strategy is to create terror among common criminals to keep them from “heating up the plaza” or calling attention to the region with petty crime.
During the last 45 days, the security strategy that has been taking place in this city has been run by the Gulf Cartel. Gunmen with the criminal organization have spread the word among common criminals that those who target innocent civilians will be mutilated, punished or murdered.
Breitbart Texas has previously reported on how a cell of the Gulf Cartel led by Sergio “Sr. Cortez” Ortegon have kidnapped, interrogated and executed kidnappers and extortionists. In both cases, gunmen have recorded the executions and interrogations which were then disseminated on social media.
The “hawks” generally used by the cartel to scout for military patrols have since undertaken a new task: acting as lookouts to track down criminal acts where the public is being targeted.

The price paid was a high one, though.
As is always the case, I would think.
Law and drugs and order.
Then you have Duterte in the Philippines executing drug dealers.
“Law and drugs and order.”
Needs another syllable and you can use Ian Dury’s music:

...and new lyrics, of course.
But I am told drugs are a victimless crime.
I learned the same fairy tale.
Another good version of lock her up could be a sing-song from ‘Ring Around the Rosey. -— — “Take the keys and and locker her up, locker her up .. Take the keys and lock her up, my fair lady...”
Lol. SO TRUE.
Nice trip down memory lane from a L-O-N-G time ago.
