Suspected Mexican teen assassin, 16, linked to 50 killings

[QUOTE]MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican prosecutors said Thursday they were investigating a 16-year-old suspected hitman who was believed to have participated in at least 50 murders while working for a drug gang.
A spokesman for prosecutors in the northeastern state of Sinaloa said the teenager, identified as Francisco Miguel N., was part of a gang known as Los Mazatlecos, a criminal group attached to the Beltran Leyva drugs cartel.
Police arrested the teen for carrying a loaded gun and drugs. He later confessed to working as a hitman for the group, local prosecutors said in a statement.
The teenager said he had taken part in executions of police, farmers and even a musician since February.
The 16-year-old, one of whose nicknames was "El Nino" or "The Boy," said he was given an AK-47 rifle and a pistol to carry out the various attacks in Sinaloa, a violent coastal state with a long tradition of drug trafficking.
Sinaloa is home to the powerful drug cartel of the same name, led by Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman. Once allied to Guzman, the Beltran Leyva gang has fought with him since breaking from the Sinaloa cartel in 2008.
A number of teenagers have been captured working for drug gangs, lured by the prospect of quick money. In June 2011, a group of six teenage drug gang members were captured after a shootout with police in central Mexico.
Turf wars between the gangs and their clashes with security forces have killed more than 55,000 people during the rule of outgoing President Felipe Calderon.

This is just absolutely horrible.
Mexico is getting worse and worse.
Fucking mexico, man.
I don't see this shit ever ending.
If it gets any worse then the US may get seriously involved in it
not much different from child soldiers I suppose

Either we get involved, be told we are wrong for doing so and that we aren't the world police, or we stay out of it, be told we are wrong for doing so, and that we should try to help because it's the right thing to do. Either way someone's gonna talk shit about us.

Mexico is fine in just about every other way except for the drugs. But as long as you stay away from the border, you're gonna be fine. (Don't drink the water and don't eat stuff from the foodstands) Source: I go to Mexico City every year.
[QUOTE=The golden;37665386]Oh totally. Mexico is totally fine, ignoring the death toll of 54,927 people.[/QUOTE]
What an accurate number you have there.
This doesn't surprise me at all.
I mean I'm not trying to sound edgy or anything. I mean this actually doesn't surprise me.
Mexican cartels kill each other all the time, so the odds are definitely higher for a probably poverty stricken youth to become a hitman for a gang.
Are not low ranking cartel members pretty young anyways, it's the same for every war, when the war goes on for long enough there's not enough grown men to fight (And in this case you also minus everyone who doesn't have criminal ambitions).

You say that like they aren't involved already

You don't get involved in internal affairs of other countries. Unless there's oil.
Rate me all the dumb you want, but you know it's true. Libya, Iraq, you're just biting at every opportunity to get a handful of oil for yourselves because you, USA, well, you're actually smart to get most of the oil from the outer resources rather than using your own oil rigs.

Protect South Vietnam was to protect against communism, Cold War era.
Assisting South Korea against the North was just plain dumb, you know it. Korea deserves to be united, one way or another, and you know it yourself that diplomacy
Fighting the Nazis? Please remind me how much USA fought the nazis. Russia is the biggest victor here, with the help of Britain, USA just went late in the war just again to get the riches, while selling most of the resources to the fighting parties and gaining lots of money for it.
Fighting the German Empire? Oh, the WWI.... Same shit again, went into war when 80% of war was done, lost merely 300-400k of men and still gained the riches from the Quadruple alliance defeat.
Fighting against the men - exactly, you weren't fighting any other country so your argument goes totally invalid.
And yes, Iraq was invaded due to oil. Saddam Hussain, with his full retard policy against the USA, just gave them a valid enough reason for USA to invade Iraq and still be right in front of the all other world.

Yes. It had nothing to do with oil, which is what I was saying.

I’m not going against the Russians here, they sacrificed a ton more than we did, but we still fought together against the same foe.

What riches? What the hell are you talking about? Germany and Italy declared war on us, not the other way around.

The French thought up the Treaty of Versailles, but go ahead and think it was us.
[B]Oh yeah, and Canada has just as much oil as Iraq, and they're right next door. Why aren't we at war with them?[/B]
Some guy called Ross Kemp in the UK went there, and while he was filming the documentary like 10 people or something had died within the week of filming

USA was fighting against communism and Russia in particular. It was a war of influence, not defending someone else due to xxx.

Definitely better than USA. It's plain wrong to get into internal affairs of any country.

Remember that French was displeased with the Treaty of Versailles, while everyone else were okay with it.

Go ahead and play dumb, you should realize that attacking Iraq had more excuses then than attacking Canada now.
Enough. This is useless and we all know everyone will remain with his own opinion. Lets not derail topic further.

wrong
The United States was the one displeased with it, woodrow tried to suggest a new plan(fourteen points) for rebuilding Germany instead
but the European nations(ESPECIALLY FRANCE) were so butt hurt over Germany they supported the extreme reparations and demilitarization of Germany as an entirety because they shared a border
they ignored the united states's suggestion of rebuilding germany because "they are safe across the ocean"

It was somewhat about oil and assuring US assets remained safe in the Middle East, not just catching the bad guy.
It was for oil, looking good by cooperating with other countries like Germany and UK.
S. Vietnam and S. Korea were about stopping the spread of communism which you still continue to fear.
Nazis were thought of as the greater of two evils, the other being Soviet communism.
You only got involved because you felt your sovereignty was under attack because of shipping lane raiding and Mexico's poorly handled invasion leak.
Rarely do you do it out of the kindness of your American freedom loving god fearing heart, just saying.

Everyone in this thread is confusing ultimate relevance with ulterior relevance. I was surprised to hear how many of my friends overseas said that they do not have to take critical thinking courses for college degrees, yet USA scores so low on tests....
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;37670118]wrong
The United States was the one displeased
[/QUOTE]
----Stop right there. Not really
The French were the one who were mad at GB and USA that they didn't punish Germany even more. They wanted to weaken them as much as they could to gain even more advantages in the region, since they were bordering lands they knew very well that Germans could retaliate a much bigger deal back at French later if they will get firepower fast and efficient, and they did it at WWII.
Don't pull that shit since I've recently passed my history test on 20th century.
