Mexican authorities found 17 more mutilated bodies over the month of December near the US border.

Thirteen of the bodies were discovered in two abandoned vehicles in two separate cities in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, bordering Texas. Four of the bodies were found hanging in public in the Mexican state of Coahuila, which also borders Texas.

I am seriously considering putting together some people together, and bringing a proposal to the Mexican border towns to help them clean house. There is some serious money to be made down there.
 
This is what happens when weed is illegal, cartels and black markets.
 
It shows the effectiveness of Mexico's strict gun control laws, a warning to us all that if only the gov't (and criminal gangs) have guns that bad things may happen. ;)

With everybody and their brother growing their own pot here in the US, my guess is that the cartels make much more money on cocaine and meth than on pot.

The violence is spawned by prohibition and its black market. We've known that for AT LEAST a century.

The rational solution, and moral solution, is to repeal the prohibition.

It's not like this kind of thing is rare or unusual:

What happened there was a tragedy, but you're solving violence with more violence. We cant keep up with them, the best way is to repeal our policies. If it continues, then we use military action.

It won't continue, what we have today.

Drug use WILL continue, will probably go down, but instead of being sold by gun-toting criminals, it will be sold by tax paying pharmacies.

We saw the same thing happen after they repealed liquor prohibition in 1934.

What about the prison industrial complex? They also need to make money.

Your dealing with the kind of men who dont talk. They only know one kind of law. The law of the jungle. Eat or be eaten. There is no compromise with that kind men, unfortunately.

:lol: :doh We have been using "military action" in the worlds leading opium nation (Afghanistan) for over a decade now. If the most powerful military on the planet cannot advance beyond a statemate, in over ten years, against an enemy that has no navy, no air force and a "rag tag", at best, army then we have a very bad battle plan. Just how long do you see the US military campaign in all of south and central America, to wipe out the grug cartels, taking us to fight? :roll:

Since the American occupation of Afghanistan, their opiate production has drastically increased. That is not coincidence.

Of course not. The brother of the corrupt president of Afghanistan is reputed to be in control of the opium trade. What better time to increase production than when all sorts of diversions exist to explain armed convoys and massive supply shipments of "relief effort" goods. Nothing like the "fog of war" for good cover. ;)

I wont even get into the Iran Contra ordeal. Just another scam to pillage resources and sell drugs for massive profit.
 
Cocaine Importing Agency, was the new moniker for the CIA during the Iran Contra.

In fact, rogue elements within the agency have been drug runners for decades. THAT is but one reason why the drug prohibition will never be repealed. It is a very lucrative scam.

I am definitely against any type of military action at this time. I'm sick of us having to take care of everyone else's problems. :roll: Then WE become the bad guys.

The Cartels buy their guns here. We are the gun supermarket to the world. It's a strawmans paradise.

Wait a second, you're scolding someone for wanting to "fight violence with violence", then in the same breath suggest military action? Seriously?

Supply a link for this assertion please. Before you do so, please read that "fine print" that often alludes to "of tracable weapons". Many world gun-running markets do not allow "tracing" as they are not in the mood to play meet the police. Tracable firearms are, therefore, often greatly exagerated as being represented as all firearms, while they are a mere subset of those actually recovered in/from cartel hands.

And sometimes our government (think Fast and Furious) actually arranges for those purchases. What kind of paradise is that?
