Massacre Sets Off New Fears In Mexico!

Three days after 72 immigrants were found dead on a ranch, a local prosecutor that came to investigate was found missing on friday and the National Telivision Company was destroyed in a bombing. The acts pointing to the worst violence in northeastern Mexico as drug and gang violence. In addition, the state department orderd that all children must leave the country due to a surge of killings,shootings, and kidnapping in the city. American law enforcement and experts said that the Zetas were locked in a struggle for survival.


I thought this story was a little frightning! These people have alot coming to them in their country. They are surving by a little thread if that many killings are going on. What i question is that "How can 72 immigrants be found dead just at once?" "What do they have against eachother that is so bad???Thats what I thought of this story it just kind of made me just question!

Mexico is not peaceful. The cartels are ruling mexico now and even thoe they are aresting the main "capos" the leaders of many cartels. The cartels are been getting more people and reforcing there cartels. But at the same time they are killing ennemies and inoccent people like the 72 immigrants at near Texas. And the the insvestigator was taken by the cartels.

Drug cartels and human trafficking are serious problems in most of the world, and like we have seen in the past, the Government is paid to keep there mouth shut. As long as "drug lords" have money they can buy what ever, and who ever the need to get there "business" going. The amount of power these drug cartel have are massive. The control Police officers, elected officials, and as far as the Military. The drug lords know what the need to do and who to pay to get it done, but when there business is challenged, as it most likely was with this case, these cartels will kill in hundred's over getting caught. Among with the drug trade, Mexico is known for its large amounts of kid napping, which is the fear of other country's for their citizen's that are on vacation there. Which I think is a serious matter, but many, many of Mexico's citizens deal with this, by having there kids, and loved once kidnapped for ransom and having brutal ways to show the parents the are hostile, such as mailing fingers,ears, hands, and so on to the parents. The best way to deal with this problem in my opinion is dont show sign's of investigation and catch it in the actual act of drug trade or what ever it might be. Instead of putting people in danger by having public notified investigation, which makes the "drug lords" nervous and they kill good people thinking that will stop the investigation.
