Perhaps you should clearly explain just what was the “indisputable criminal activity of this particular group across the century it had been in Mexico”. Are you saying these Mormons were a rival criminal organization to the drug cartels? Whatever their actions were it is doubtful they competed with the cartels. The issue is that this was a cultural intrusion by a distinct group that maintained its own identity into an endemic alien culture that sparked barbaric violence. It has happened throughout the world and throughout recorded history.
Perhaps instead of just trying to argue with me, you should be reading all of the threads on this topic and pay attention to the background information other posters are providing.
This family was targeted specifically, this is no general attack on the many Mormons who live in this part of Mexico.
There is evidently a damned good reason a reason for that.
Not our circus, not our monkeys.
Pssh. I say we should just invade Mehico and kill all drug cartel members in the process.
The Monkeys part is what is getting under my skin here. The media is trying to sell this as if these “Americans” were on a shopping trip. I don’t see where the word “American” has any business in the story.
The drug cartels of Mexico and Latin America are primarily finance by irresponsible Americans who think “it’s widit” and socially acceptable to use their drugs. A free society can only last as long as it creates a responsible citizenry. It will take more than a wall.
Translation: We don't want to pay U.S. taxes or be subject to American law but when we're attacked by the corrupt, godless savages we've chosen to live among we feel entitled to the protection of American might.
“Whenever a preaching missionary enters an alien culture, there is inherent danger.”
This is a CULT. A cult with deep roots in murder (I’m not kidding) and polygamy. Here’s just one example of both: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rena_Chynoweth
Several days ago there was a gun fight between illegals and a BP Agent. The Agent killed the shooter. Very little info released. However, the aspect of retaliation for this shooting is surely being addressed by investigators. Perhaps the deceased was employed by the Cartel?
lol
They had mexican american citizenship and are fundamentalist
LDS seems like odd background as the story unfolds.
D&C 132 is STILL scripture, no matter what Wilford has agreed to do
oh no....these expats think their shinola doesn’t stink and everything is just peaches and cream in these Latin American countries...violence is so bad here in America and there is hardly any violence in Mexico except for the thousands of murders...
