So motive is irrelevant? It was a horrendously despicable crime, but cartels do things for reasons. If they kidnap someone it is for ransom or to put them in the sex trade. If the kill a judge’s or police captains family it is to make LE too afraid to take them on. When they bomb a rival cartel it is to take over territory. If a cartel member shoots someone in the face for disrespecting them it has a reason.
Killing women children and BABIES is not done for no reason. It is not even that some psyco went off because crying babies triggered him. It was a hit. Why was there a hit?
If you think that is irrelevant then you would need to raise your IQ by double digits to even qualify as stupid.
NYT is putting out stories like this to paint the women and children as somehow deserving of murder. The cartel may have had their reasons, that doesn’t justify the murder of American women and babies.
