What’s your point? That the USA is as bad as Mexico? NO, it isn’t, but it’s on it’s way as long as people keep making excuses for it! Remember citizens in Mexico are unarmed.
Let me know when you see this in Detroit....BTW, the article goes on to talk about a young woman grabbed by the military who was breaking up some of this drug mess in Mexico....she was raped. Let me know when you see that in Detroit, too.
“Last year, more than 20 police officers and rival gang members were beheaded, and their heads were often put on public display in harrowing fashion. In Acapulco, two police officers’ heads were posted on the fence outside a state government building above a poster-board sign that read: “So that you learn some respect.” In Michoacán, assassins stepped into a crowded nightclub and rolled five severed heads onto the dance floor.”

More than 1,000 police officers, soldiers and members of enemy cartels have been killed this year as President Calderon has turned up the heat
The most violent parts of the USA are significantly more violent than the most violent parts of Mexico. That's exactly what I'm saying. The overall murder rate in Mexico is higher than it is in the United States, but the differential in violence is mainly concentrated in turf wars between narco traffickers, not the kind of people normal people engage with on a regular basis. As for horrific narco-trafficking crimes, yes Mexico has a lot of that, but then Mexico doesn't tend to have horrific school shootings (Virginia Tech, Colombine, etc.) either.
