Wow, this is great
[QUOTE=smidge146;43454044]I wouldn't mess with drug cartels. fuck that shit.[/QUOTE] Then who will? If the militia don't finish what they've begun, there will be hell to pay - every single man, woman and child knows it. If they were to resort to peaceful protest again, it won't even be weeks before heads are hanging from bridges and the police sit idly by. Even if the army is not working with the cartels, it's proven itself to be incompetent in this matter. What hits the cartels hardest is when the very subjects they so freely abused for their gains so far fight back. For what it's worth, I do not enjoy senseless fighting and killing, but this can really only have 2 outcomes: they fight (at least die trying) or they sit silently and pray the shadows grab their neighbors' child next instead of their own. I know which I'd prefer. tl;dr it's pretty damn hard for cartels to shoot at civilians when the civilians are shooting back.

Another post... [B][U]Young men from California return to Mexico to Fight[/U][/B] [quote]NUEVA ITALIA, Mexico — Moises Verduzco says he learned how to handle himself in a fight from his teen years running with a street gang near Los Angeles. Now back home in western Mexico’s violent Michoacan state, Verduzco and other United States-bred youths are putting those lessons from the barrio to war against the Knights Templar criminal cartel. Verduzco, 22, spent most of his life in the working-class city of Hawthorne, Calif., until the US deported him to Mexico a few years ago following a criminal conviction. “This is way better,” he says, comparing his preferred vigilante post with California gangster life. “Here you are doing the right thing for your town. All a gang over there [in the States] is going to take you to is death or prison.” For 11 months, armed civilians calling themselves “autodefensas,” or self-defense militias, have been fighting to thwart the deadly Knights Templar in Michoacan’s Pacific coastal lowlands. The militias’ recent successes against the gang has renewed fears of civil war here, spurring President Enrique Peña Nieto to dispatch thousands of troops to keep the groups apart. The criminal violence that’s claimed some 80,000 lives in Mexico, according to independent analysts, began in these very towns seven years ago. Michoacan plagues the government still — and it’s quickly become Peña Nieto’s most vexing security headache. Known as "Tierra Caliente," or Hot Country, this region has long sold fruits, vegetables, and crystal meth to Mexican and US consumers. Experts say the Templars dominate large parts of the meth trade. After years of kidnappings and endemic extortion by the Templars, “people just want to be able to work unmolested,” says Aaron Sanchez, an official in Nueva Italia, a market town that militiamen captured on Sunday following skirmishes with the gang. “The government hasn’t been able to deal with the situation so we as a people have had to,” he says. Militia leaders say they don’t have a good count of the US-raised youths among their hundreds of gunmen. But Verduzco and others from Southern California say their numbers are considerable. One fighter claimed to be a US Army veteran who returned to Mexico specifically to join the militias. There were many like him, he said. But he walked away when pressed for details. “We’re here to defend the people. They tell us whatever they need,” Adolfo Silva, 20, raised in Santa Ana, Calif., says of the Templars in English (seen in the video below). “I’m a guerrilla.”[/quote] [url=http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/mexico/140116/california-mexican-michoacan-self-defense-knights-templar]Global Post[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3nIfE0AUys#t=67[/media] All though I am not completely attached to the militia movement in the US, I have heard rumors that some militias are attempting to smuggle themselves into Mexico in order to aid the current rebellion. It should also be noted that some other countries are having their citizens rebel in heavy drug regions much akin to Mexico... We are on the horizon of an American Spring.
Wow this is great to see them finally put their foot down. I hope they get rid of the cartels.
It took them about nearly 1000 Years to get rid of the Knights Templar? I thought there were religious and what are they doing in Mexic- Wait. In all seriousness, why do they call it the Knights Templar Drug Cartel?

I hope this leads to less drug related violence not more. Like really.
[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;43590921]The same people that thought EpiKSnIpeZ is a great username?[/QUOTE] They came up with the name after XxXSepthirorthsCocaineDevilsXxX#goku was vetoed for being too offensive to people's sensibilities.
Viva La Revolución! Viva La División del Norte! Viva La Pancho Villa!
The cartel was one of the main reasons I'd never visit Mexico. Good thing people are done putting up with their bullshit now.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;43591252]The cartel was one of the main reasons I'd never visit Mexico. Good thing people are done putting up with their bullshit now.[/QUOTE] There's more than one of them, you know.
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43591360]There's more than one of them, you know.[/QUOTE] And some of them... Zetas(Texas/New Mexico) and Sinola(Arizona/East California) operate with in the United States. The news just doesn't mention shit like how the cartels will actually capture girls in parties at University campuses, and the next day they'll be found raped and mutilated out in Mexico. It's a pretty bad situation to be honest.

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;43576527]Black powder guns are still deadly when used properly.[/QUOTE] I doubt they are using muskets. There are many much more modern and reliable guns that are cheaper and easier to get your hands on, especially given the fact most gunpowder weapons take half a minute to reload and have shit accuracy.

Keep up the good fight
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;43574289]Its the Cartels that need to be destroyed. Everything else is just a reaction to their brutality and influence.[/QUOTE] Well, belive that this class divided society that needs to be destroyed, I mean, this is all the development of this form of economical organization. The mexican problem doesn't starts in Mexico, pretty much like Brazil. Here, this country was idealized as a exploitation colony, before, they used to explore Pau-Brasil, gold and shit, now with modern capitalism, they can explore everything! From the price we pay on products, our salary, our cities... to the institutions here, they are all carefully planned to fuck us all. I belive that Mexico is not far from this too. The thing is, are the institutions made to help people, or help peolpe explore people? I think this text here is pure gold on the subject: [url]http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=965&chapter=9533&layout=html&Itemid=27[/url]
