America’s real enemies, those who truly do us harm, are NEVER confronted. Fentanyl kills almost 100k a year… zilch.. nothing. There should be an all out war on the cartels. They should be droned, their assets droned, their houses torn down, their families imprisoned, subjected to SOF raids… how Israel deals with terrorists. But us? Nope. Nothing.

This is what leads to vigilante justice. While I don’t advocate for it, I would totally understand if the citizens of our communities started taking matters into their own hands regarding cartels and their street gang proxies.

Those that do will go to prison where they will not be greeted as friends.

Do you mean the cartels or the politicians that we elect, over and over and over again, that do nothing but figure out a way to make money from their positions and screw over their friends and neighbors?

I’m of the thinking that it’s the politicians that are far worse enemies than any cartel member.

I know who the cartel member is. They can be pointed out.

The politician is the true subversive that seeks to profit and, at the same time, destroy. And they do it with a smile on their faces and take pictures with you and the fair.

Legal consequences aside, the cartels are not at all shy about wreaking extreme vengeance on anyone (and his family) who crosses them—or even appears to be crossing them.

No matter how ‘illegal’ they may be, if they are within the U.S. they get all the Constitutional rights when it comes to prosecution of crimes. Witnesses against them have a disturbing amount of ‘bad luck’.

Attacking them in Mexico would be seen as an act of war against a sovereign nation. There is no way that Mexico would agree to such actions. Regardless of current corruption, Mexican history wouldn’t allow for it. Who knows where such a thing would lead? We did it 100 years ago with not-so-happy results.

Many were under the illusion that legalizing (and of course taxing) marijuana would put the cartels out of business in the U.S. Instead they seem to be growing and prospering more than ever. Would you voluntarily openly compete against them for sales?
