10 people, ages 8-21, shot dead in Mexico

Marijuana is the number one product of the Mexican cartels, they do also bring across Cocaine, but it is harder, they have a hard time finding mules for coke because everyone in mexico knows that coke gets you sent to prison where as muling marijuana for the most part gets you deported without more than just time served. If you legalize, the market for Mexican swag dries up, not overnight, but within a year. Most of the cartel violence in this country is ONE cartel member coming across and hiring members of El Eme, or The Aztecas who live here to do their dirty work. As their product dries up so to with their ability to hire guns here. Not only that, but most of the kidnappings and violence are directly linked to the moving of marijuana into this country. Last week in El Paso a man was shot because he lost a load at the port of entry. If no one loses loads there is no reason for violence here.
 
I have zero clue about Cali or Texas gang activity. I'm sheltered in a Lilly white upper middle class Louisiana suberb.

Is keeping drugs illegal in the >U.S. really worth all the carnage this drug war is causing.If drugs were legal and heavlly regulated this wouldnt have happened.
This war on drugs is taking more lives and destroying more families then the drugs do themselves. Its time to end the failed drug policy. How many more innocent people need to die???
If you don't think that this isn't happening within the U.S. too,then you don't watch the news much.

well, you know....if people in the US weren't buying drugs, there wouldn't be drug lords in Mexico killing people over the chance to sell them here, would there.....why don't you recognize that every time you buy illegal drugs you cause death.....

I don't buy illegal drugs. I realize, however, that by eliminating the illegality of growing drugs in the US, we can save hundreds of thousands of lives in the US and elsewhere. Anyone who opposes the legalization of marijuana is, therefore, a mass murderer, and should be sentenced to life without parole.

I oppose it, I do not want to save any lives, they all deserve to die.

Using this logic we should have NEVER repealed prohibition. That's how stupid this logic really is.
 
1) The State Department said to avoid the border towns, which is where the carnage usually goes on. If you plan to go to magical touristland, then you're probably going to be safe.

2) I'd like to point out that if you are a buyer, and responsible for keeping the cartels fed, you are just as guilty as the people who support the war on drugs. Thanks for keeping these maniacs well-fed.

really?.....do you think it's illogical to say that if people weren't giving Mexican drug lords money in exchange for illegal drugs, Mexican drug lords wouldn't be killing each other and innocent bystanders in a war to see which one get's to sell them the illegal drugs?.....

I have to say, Socs, if you think that's "illogical" you are a really are the fucking idiot I have always suspected you to be......

When you see how many lives are lost due to alcoholism, both the drinker , and the victims of the drinker, then Prohibition in hindsight may not have been such a bad idea after all.
 
yeah, like telling people in the 20's not to drink beer of have a cocktail they were supporting gangsters was a good strategy.

The religious moron's are the main opposition

In the 1920's and 30's if people weren't spending their money on illegal booze, rival mobs would not have been shooting each other and innocent people over alcohol. So people should have realized that when they bought illegal booze they were killing people.

when you see how many lives are lost due to gun violence, both the shooter and the victims of the shooter, then maybe banning guns in hindsight is not such a bad idea after all.

Do you like how that sounds? I don't. In the US we don't deny the majority of people their rights because a minority of people act stupidly.
 
For those who claim that the violence is localized in a few border towns like Juárez, Tijuana and more recently, Reynosa (across the line from McAllen, Texas), the tragic incidents across the country over the past weeks point to that as being woefully misinformed.


Calderon is losing this war and he needs our help. The Mexican Mafia is flowing into our country which doesn't help matters for us.

All the more reason to take away the supply of money going tax free to the Cartels.

The US is quickly becoming the nation of druggies and they are already growing their own.

See how wanderingbear brags about his addiction.

Wow man, violence is like so uncool. Like, up here in the Emerald Triangle, we grow some righteous weed but but all we shoot is intravenous drugs, dude.
