Fear has invaded the Mexican border city of Reynosa after gunmen in vehicles killed 14 people, including taxis drivers, workers and a nursing student, and security forces responded with operations that left four suspects dead.

While this city across the border from McAllen, Texas is used to cartel violence as a key trafficking point, the 14 victims in Saturday’s attacks appeared to be what Tamaulipas Gov. Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca called “innocent citizens” rather than members of one gang killed by a rival...

The attacks took place in several neighborhoods in eastern Reynosa, according to the Tamaulipas state agency that coordinates security forces, and sparked a deployment of the military, National Guard and state police across the city. Images posted on social media showed bodies in the streets...

...the area’s criminal activity has long been dominated by the Gulf Cartel and there have been fractures within that group. Experts say there has been an internal struggle within the group since 2017 to control key territories for drug and human trafficking. Apparently, one cell from a nearby town may have entered Reynosa to carry out the attacks...

Security is one of the great challenges facing the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He has assured Mexicans that he is fighting the root causes of the violence and since the beginning of his administration in December 2018, he has advocated “hugs, not bullets” in dealing with criminals.

I thought that Cackles had the border under control. Well, perhaps she needs to visit Europe, first.

No innocence detected. The assholes had a Claro satellite, an i-Phone 14, perfume, necklaces, earrings and no pistol

That's impossible! Mexico already decriminalized the use and possession of pot, cocaine, meth, LSD, and several other drugs 12 years ago.

Anyone who thinks decriminalizing drugs here in the US will cause the violence to stop, is a bona fide idiot. Those cartels will just have to work harder and will branch out into more avenues of opportunity.

You advocate for the revision and reimplementation of the Volstead Act also?

Why would I do that? Drinking is fine, as long as one doesn't get stupid.

As for drug dealers, I would advocate that they be taken behind the barn and have a 9mm bullet gently inserted behind their right ear.

Nobody is indiscriminately murdering women and children over alcohol.

Jesus Christ, man. Get a grip on reality ok? I know you think that you're being "cool" and edgy" because you like sitting in your little pad getting high.

But people are fucking being murdered right to the south of you, all because you want to be "cool", "edgy", and "hip." Sure, you get your drugs from "some guy" who grows it locally or maybe you grow it yourself, but how many years did you support those murdering cartel members before now? If you think about it hard enough, the reason the drug cartels became so rich and powerful, was because of the money you ultimately gave them

How does it feel? Any normal person would go hide his head in shame.

So you think we should invade Mexico?

WTF?!?!?!?!

The violence is BECAUSE of the US drug policy.
Nobody's going to smuggle pot across the border risking imprisonment and death if pot is legal.
Legalize, keep taxes low (defeats black marketeers), and use revenues from drug taxes to fund treatment centers.
Will it stop "gangsterism?" No. The criminals will simply revert to more traditional mafia type crimes.
But ending the "War on Drugs" will also end the ongoing war against communities of color

Bullshit. Those states which have decriminalized certain drugs are seeing more of a cartel presence. And why wouldn't they? The drug cartels have more freedom to conduct their business in states like Colorado, Washington, and Oregon.

Why?
Ever hear of meth, cocaine, the rest? Why risk prison bringing pot across the border or in illegal grows when you can just apply for a license and open a store?

AND

You've provided no evidence of increased cartel operations in pot in Oregon or anywhere else for that matter.
Do

Colorado's marijuana laws are inadvertently helping Mexican drug cartels keep their business going.

It's not the legalization of pot that is the problem, it is that the other drugs along with pot are illegal in neighboring states. Your link supports MY argument.

"If you combine the legalization of marijuana and you combine that there are no regulations for the legalization of marijuana outside Colorado, it becomes an attractive criminal enterprises," said Jorge Duque with the Colorado Department of Law."
