Perhaps you should clearly explain just what was the “indisputable criminal activity of this particular group across the century it had been in Mexico”. Are you saying these Mormons were a rival criminal organization to the drug cartels? Whatever their actions were it is doubtful they competed with the cartels. The issue is that this was a cultural intrusion by a distinct group that maintained its own identity into an endemic alien culture that sparked barbaric violence. It has happened throughout the world and throughout recorded history.
Perhaps instead of just trying to argue with me, you should be reading all of the threads on this topic and pay attention to the background information other posters are providing.
This family was targeted specifically, this is no general attack on the many Mormons who live in this part of Mexico.
There is evidently a damned good reason a reason for that.
Not our circus, not our monkeys.
