“blended extreme violence with pseudo-religious teachings and claimed a mandate from God”
Ah. Muslims!
We will see what will happen now that the Socialists won power on Mexico. Michoacán is a very beautiful state. I would like to go again.
The Mexican Army cannot be trusted for some structural reasons. The Marines have been the only reliable unit in Mexico because they are not attached to any one region and are much harder for a local cartel to corrupt.
“We like each other, and they respect my decision,” he said, “but if they learn that I’m out here doing something which doesn’t square with our values – if I mess with innocent people – they will come for me. From them, there’s no hiding.”
If it is indeed a drug cartel then this quote shows off a huge problem: that numerable people in the military do not consider the manufacture and shipping of drugs to be preying on the innocent ... at least if it isn’t us Gringos being poisoned.
We are their Lebansraum.
Joe Nobody already wrote a book about this.
