Lay off the cartels or the politicians don’t get this month’s payola.
Screw the federales guys.
Trust the federales.
They’ll all be dead in a week. Same thing would happen here.
If they trust the army, they’ll be dead in short order.
“The price of FREEDOM is Eternal Vigilance”.
Since the Government is in bed with the Cartels, this is what they shall reap.
That can be said for our very own U.S. Government.
Lay with dogs and don’t be surprised to find yourself covered in fleas.
if they were serious they’d join the vigilante forces and deal with the cartel.
Mahn, choo doan wanna mase weet are pahrtners! Leeb dem lone!
Translation:
Stop your advance or the Government will help the cartels survive.
They would be best served to regroup and grow their forces all across the country to take on both the Cartels and eventually their own corrupt government, IMO.
Of course, I advocate the same here, but even though most will find any excuse not to fight, perhaps enough would be willing to sacrifice everything for a chance to set things right in this country once again before it’s truly too late.
Sounds like the vigilantes may be a little too effective. So the government needs to take over and contain the violence to insure no more cartel members are needlessly killed.
Vigilantes are taking matters into their own hands to root out corruption? I guess Mexicans really ARE willing to do the jobs Americans won’t.
This raises two important issues in the US.
The first is gun control, where the arguments for or against gun liberty are generally over either self-defense or to overthrow a tyrannical government.
But this shows a third scenario: under a supposedly intensive gun control regime, the people have been forced to take up *illegal* arms as vigilantes against organized crime organizations the government is incapable of stopping, or unwilling to stop.
The other thing is vigilantism. In the US, the government, academia and the media all damn vigilantism up one side and down the other as racist, criminal, and unjust. But here is an excellent case of vigilantism doing what it is supposed to do: taking the place of an ineffectual and corrupt government, and protecting the people by driving out the organized criminals.
It is vital that Americans are aware of this, because we are always close to being in a similar situation. Not just guns for self-defense, or the idea of somehow overthrowing a corrupt and decadent federal government; but as the means to take care of ourselves against criminal organizations, gangsters and mafias.
Does “we will contain the violence in Michoacan” mean that they will eliminate the cartels?
“Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong”
Oh that’s rich! Probably “related” to Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame. I mean what’s next, Fernando Kitajima for El Presidente!
If the gov’t was protecting the subjects, the subjects wouldn’t have to take things into their own hands.
Let that be a lesson to the current administration. I’m glad these folks were able to arm themselves.
Mexican govt wants vigilantes to stop because the govt is working with the Drug Cartels
If disarmed Mexican vigilantes can take on the cartels, and incite a plea for peace from the federales, imagine what fear we well armed American patriots strike in the heart of the socialist overlord.
“Mexico urges vigilantes to stand down in drug gang conflict”
I figured this was exactly what the outcome was going to be when I read articles a few weeks ago that said the Mexican government was going to help locals who had banned together and had successfully gone after the cartels running amock because the authorities were doing nothing to stop the criminals that were attacking the good folk across the board.
This is a good reminder of the reason for the 2nd Amendment, and just who is the militia it talks about. And why we need it.
