Mexican cartel massacre: 9 Americans, including 6 children murdered

[GardoneVT]

The documentary on Amazon they were very reluctant to talk about weapons other than Fudd guns like 12 gauge shot guns and deer rifles that they legally possess. There was a small part of them at a shooting range.

Understandably so.If a camera crew showed up at my home,I wouldn't broadcast my whole collection either.

Yeah, your right about that.
The stakes for us getting volunteered to sort out Mexico's shit is just too damn high for casual postings on Twitter.

Maybe my years of getting "voluntold" have left me just a bit jaded about the whole committing troops to other peoples problems.

I dont need a security clearance to safely assume theres already anti-cartel groups in Mexico,both indiginous & from Up North. Trump is simply marketing to his Mormon political constituency.

Trump seems eager to join a COIN war vs the cartels. I reckon that war would come to American streets in short order

This.

Plenty of Mexican cartel troops are already here, they're armed, and they don't mind killing. Fortunately, they've stuck to fratricide, but that could change within hours of Black Jack Pershing's resurrection.

Not so far fetched.

Something to think about anyway.

I used to live in Douglas. Been down into Sonora and Chihuahua a few times. It will open your eyes to the war down there.

Won't see anything like that here in the US.

Nothing in my post suggested we get involved, just pointing out the ridiculousness of "tRuMpS kIdS bEtTeR bE fIrSt oN tHe gRoUnD".

I agree with you.

But for them, it wil be just business as usual. Gruesome vengance is part of their daily life, they expect no different from foes and are prepared for that. In the worst case someone else will take up the same position and return to "normal".

I'm sure there are some US COIN elements working with Mexico authorities. How much they can really do in these circunstances is anyone's guess.

We're willing to engage ISIS and other threats in the Middle East and around the world. This threat is not only closer to home, it's in our home, and arguably an equal or greater threat depending on how you frame the situation.

In any case, it's just another portion of the maelstrom sucking our country down.

A bunch of people slaughtered in Mexico? Yawn...must be a Tuesday. Or a Monday, or any day ending in y.

All I know is Sicario 3 is gonna be lit af fam.

I've asked that very question here and so far "well it's different" is all I've got for an answer.

I don't fear ISIS in my daily life, but people being arrested on a daily basis in my slow paced corner of the world with cartel and MM ties is something I worry about.

I recognize this is a no win situation for us to some degree, and I'm not a fan of sending more troops to die in battle, but I have to believe that at some point we will have to get involved in Mexico and I'm not sure this incident will be the reason.

The Mexican mafia is a prison gang, they hire out to the cartels for work in the US but compared to the Mexican drug cartel’s they are small potatoes

It's Vice, so there are things in it consistent with that. But this did provide some background to which I was unaware.
