Yeah it's real sad cause it wasn't that long that Mexico was basically a model of...

Man I can't even be sarcastic about how Mexico has basically always been a mess. It is sad though. That part wasn't sarcastic. (Brown people are savages.)

But enough about the US, someone explain this Mexico situation.

"I'm just going to assume massive corruption and drug dealers with entire police forces entirely in their pocket are involved."

Basically, that, in this video the federals are taking local polices that have drug connections. Partners of the local police flip out and try to block the whole thing. More shit goes on, but no deaths.

...and the federals are working with other cartels as I understand it. I'm just adding to the "Mexico is a mess" noise happening here.

Yeah, that too, the thing is, even if some of those guys really don't want to get involved in this mess, their superiors are getting drug money too. Also, all those drug cartel goons that get caught? They keep operating inside the jails, doing everything from coordinating kidnappings, executions, human traffic and even doing phone extortions. The whole thing is seriously a mess no matter from which angle is seen. Mexico is the new Colombia.

That Exile link is fantastic. I thought the newspaper went under?

These five stars are for Zato's link - holy shit, four people died and that's a tragedy, but one of the gunmen slips and falls flat on his fucking ass in the middle of the shooting. His buddy has to come in after him and pick up his gun.

Excellent.

The Exile got driven out of Russia and now they're a web-only publication, not a paper anymore. But still awesome.

All credit to whatever videographer kept filming even as guns were cocking all around. I would have been miles away with ruined pants after the first chk-klick-klick.

Thank you.
