Early in the morning on January 13, Mexican soldiers clashed with members of an armed citizen’s militia group. Multiple casualties were reported. Mexico’s government recently amped up its presence in the surrounding state of Michoacan after ongoing conflicts between armed civilians and drug cartel members have escalated.

Is it any different than obama protecting terrorists here and abroad?

the government and the cartel are basically one and the same now.

Why do you think so much of the violence in Mexico has ceased since the new president was elected?

Anybody notice that no cartel members were killed by the government?

Very interesting that the Mexican government is far more interested in disarming the people rather than disarming the cartels sucking the lifeblood out of the people. Makes sense though. I’m sure the Mexican government is far more frightened of a populace that wishes to defend themselves than they are in curbing the cartels that provide so much revenue to corrupt government officials.
