There was a time when we had little in the way of taxpayer funded law enforcement in this country and that lack was covered by citizens.

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.

Never occurred to them to ask the cartels to stand down.

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.

I have heard they are “concerned” which translated probably means they’re not sure who’s stupid enough to follow them over the cliff anymore...

“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.

If the vigilantes are successful in rooting out the Cartel, the Federales are worried they’ll be next.
