In Mexico's Seething Drug Wars, New Alarm About Violence Moving North
Reader Comments
War on drug
We can go back and for on who to blame. Does this solve the problem? Probably no. I can write at large about things lost form Mexico to the US and visceversa. The bottom line is that the drug trafficking regardless where you live, eventually will have a repercussion and effect on our lives. The violence in Mexico, the drug consumption here, also brings violence. In US we need to pay for those addicts to get rehabilitation. These are burden to societies, these people at all levels bring problems to societies. They are burden in all the angles that you want to analyze it to those hard working citizens of their countries. It is not question that violence in Mexico is terrifying, but it is not a doubt that these scumbags get the weapons in the US. If you argue about the right to bear arms, it is not worth it, this right comes with responsibilities. Besides it does not say that you can have the right to have military and assault weapons. The brutal crimes committed by the drug dealers it is not better than selling destructive weapons. These crimes are also indicators of how low the human race can go to get some money and protect what they believe is their property. They do not care if they will cause more harm with selling and trafficking with these drugs. They care about themselves. I do not approve the dead penalty, this is not legal in Mexico, but maybe it is time to reconsider the dead penalty for drug traffickers by Presidente Calderon
War on drugs
I AGREE IN THAT , THE SITUATION IN MEXICO SEEMS SCARY AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T THING IT WOULD BE ANY BETTER ,BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC IS EVEN WORST NOW THEN YEARS AGO.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISE IF A GUERRILLA GROUP LIKE (SHINING PATH IN PERU) IS TRAINING HITMAN AND TERRORIST OVER THERE IN TRAINIG CAMPS. IS JUST MATTER OF TIME AND THEY WILL BE DEALING WITH ALQAEDA A KIND OF SURPRISING ATTACK ONCE MORE LIKE 9/11 WHAT DO YOU THINK? CONECTING DOTS SOUNDS LIKE IT.
THERE ARE THREATS ALREDY FROM YEARS AGO, LIKE THE ONE ABOUT ALQAEDA WOULD BE SHOOTIN DOWN U.S AIRPLANES IN THE MEXICAN BORDERS, WITH STINGERS ROCKETS DEVICES., AND THEY WILL SMUGGLING C-4 TROUGH THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF MEXICO .
AFTER ALL ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER !

War On Drugs
It appears that the war on illegal drugs is only getting worse. As long as the market for their illegal product exists here in the US, Well need I say more!
Kidnappings and cars stolen and gunfire
We live in Chihuhua, Mexico--are from U>S>--really getting scary here--afraid might be kidnapped for ransome or worse--hear the helicopters, police everywhere and drug agents--homes and businesses fire-bombed--very scary for Americans here right now--was not that way 2 yrs. ago--going to El Paso has gotten dangerous bec. of Juarez!!! Do not know who to trust--all are crooked! Police, post offies, Gov. officials--mafia-in evey community almost--cannot run from it--hope to not get caught in cross-fire!!!
Hahaha-- Mexico is NOT the Problem --- The U.S. is
It's very simple. it is about money. Money makes the world go around... If you got Wall street MBAs making scams to steal money and the one Secretary of Treasury cheating on his taxes.. come on now.
the laws for possession of drugs in the U.S. are a joke. they need to change. If you give a person a $25,000 ticket for possesion of 1(one) joint or cigarette of marijuana you can probably get ahead in the game.
anybody that does not have more than whatever the limit of possession for intent to distribute gets off the hook easy when they get caught and then they go by more crap.
you Can't send to prison (with murderers and killers) every person that gets caught with possesion of drugs for personal use. But you can hit them where it hurts the most -- MONEY*** a hefty ticket. if they don't have money --- a payment plan, automatically deducted from check or work for free for the till debt is paid off.. if the choose not to they can go to prison, and when they get off rehab and jail --they STILL have to paid the ticket... Helpfully after that they won't buying any frigging drugs...
It's about supply and Demand .. you have to stop the demand and the supply will decrease by itself
Border Solutions
1. Finish the fence.
2. Close the border.
3. This is Mexico's problem. If they handle this like they have handled their other problems, it will only get worse.
4. It is unlikely that the violence will spread north. Drug dealers may not be that smart, but they aren't dumb. US police and government is not as weak as Mexico. They know that our response will be much more effective than Mexico's. They want to continue their operations. Spreading violence north will not achieve that.
Mexican Drug Wars
Hey Danko Ramone of MI,
I too heard of the report that outbreaks of violence is happening in Phoenix. Fox News had a report on it too. I didn't really understand why Tucson wasn't affected too, since its more southern than Phoenix?
Just what we need in the U.S. more drugs and violence! If you legalize all drugs, then we'll really have a problem. Legalizing drugs, is not the solution because this would create more problems with public offenses like DUI, drug addictions and skyrocketing healthcare costs for rehabs., more violence because we all know drugs make some people crazy. Then you'd have to deal more on the social level on things with unwanted/neglected children, drug addicted born children, poverty and hunger, and the list just grows and grows, folks.
Look, we have these problems now but legalizing drugs would just compound the problems that we already have here in the U.S.
One really known fact is, by removing prayer from our classrooms in 1963 started a large drug/alcohol revolution. Taking the 10 Commandments out of our schools and away from our courthouses, didn't help matters either. If some of you would research this, you'll find that removing/separating our impressionable children from prayer, 10 Commandments and our Pledge of Allegance, has NOT helped our country at all...it has
given our children the freedom to be heathen adults who often get into trouble with drugs/alcohol, teen pregnancy and etc.
As for the illegals...shoot those suckers on site, just like any other illegal who tries to enter our country. Deem them all as terrorist, and a threat to our national security.
Legalize and decriminalize Drugs
If Drugs were legal and decriminalized then American business men could start businesses and turn profit and create tax revenue for the country. This Would be especially good for our economy right now and the drug cartels would go out of business or go legit and there would not be such a big deal...
Stop the demand in the US
Instead of going after the little guys, the pushers, we need to go after the BIG Guys, the politicians, lawyers, judges, police who protect the heads of the drug cartels here in the USA. Innocent victims are suffering due to the demand for drugs in America. Go after the guys who supply the money in the USA they are the problem. If we don't, you better believe we will see the same thing happening in America. We criticize Mexico and other countries for being corrupt when we have the biggest corrupters of all living here. Follow the money and we will find the REAL criminals. That would mean getting rid of the corrupt judges, police, lawyers and politicians who allow the drugs, if we don't we will see more deaths of innocent victims in Main Street America.
