You clearly don't live near the border.Volf99 said:If the Mexican drug cartel kills someone in a place like Alabama, it will be big. The fact that a foreign criminal organization killed an American citizen seems like a dumb move on their part.
This kind of thing happens all the time. You know who the top two kidnapping cities in the world are? #1 is Mexico City. Number 2 is....
Phoenix.
The average person may not see it, but the cartels have a HUGE presence in the US. CA, AZ, NM, and TX see a huge number of crimes committed by these cartels. Look at the crime statistics from El Paso/Juarez sometime. A while back, there were reports of gunmen on the Juarez side shooting across the border and killing like 8 people.
Taking politics completely out of the equation, if you live in a state along the border, the Zetas are much more real than you think.
These are not people to mess with.
