Meanwhile, in southern Mexico . . .

43 students are missing, possibly taken by police associated with a local drug cartel, and the teachers and other students want answers.

I started to hear about this once they found the mass grave. Crazy.

[Schildog]

the violent reaction is completely acceptable in this case.

[nate]

An issue much closer to our borders that has definitely spilled into the US yet we fight ISIS instead.  Awesome.

 

These Cartels fund very violent gangs in many border towns in the US that pedal drugs and illegals into the US, send the money and guns back to Mexico that are used to slaughter thousands of innocent Mexicans every year.

[Adam]

Can a mexican be "innocent"?

[Taylor]

Just awful. The TV show "The Bridge" explores some of the evils of the Mexican government and drug cartels. 

[mtangelsfan]

It also examines the U.S. government's clandestine connection to it.

 

U.S./Mexico, there are no good guys in that one.

I like that scene in "Clear and Present Danger" where the drone missile blows up the cartel mansion. We should do more of that. ISIS is one thing, but I agree the greater threat is just south of us.

 

By the way, it's quite possible the administration will declare amnesty after the midterm elections next month. Executive orders and all that good stuff.

You like women and children being blown to bits by missiles? ISIS has a job for you.

Actually our greatest threat is within our own borders. Mexican cartels are chumps compared to the shit our "leaders" are doing while you're distracted by Ebola updates.

At one time I was considering the Yucatan Peninsula as a possible retirement destination. I want nothing to do with living in Mexico at this point.

[Tank]

i don't even want to visit mexico.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

You get better benefits in the US military.

 

I dunno. You get a dozen virgins when you meet your ultimate end with ISIS.

ISIS should head to comic-con.

[Tank]

ISIS should head to comic-con.

 

i think he meant a dozen female virgins.
