MEXICO CITY - Drug traffickers are waging a highly effective publicity campaign in Mexico that began with a chilling show of brutality in Acapulco: two police officers' heads, streaming with blood, were stuck on metal spikes outside a downtown building with a fluorescent cardboard sign. "So that you learn to respect," it read in thick black letters.
The spectacle a year ago in the Pacific resort set off a ghoulish trend among the drug lords battling for billion-dollar smuggling routes into the United States. They've since left a trail of bodies and bloodstained notes across Mexico, with a goal of spreading fear — a sense of dread so deep that rivals, police, witnesses and even President Felipe Calderon won't dare cross them.
This is just a part of the article, but it brings the point home. The drug cartels of Mexico are in competition and are now resorting to intimidation and killing of citizens that have no connection to them and because of this, the Mexican police are running the other way, the Mexican military are running the other way and even the president of Mexico won't interfer in their illegal activities.
These people are so brazen, they have gone to taking out newspaper ads and posting videos on u-tube threatening various groups of people, leaving notes on corpuses attached by ice picks and trash bags full of body parts, and rolling heads across a dance floor. The reason for the fighting is for the routes to bring drugs/illegals/arms across our southern border as there is huge money involved in doing this.
If ever there was a justifiable reason to get tough and become "politically uncorrect" this is it. We do not want nor need these people. It is time that someone, namely the congress and the lame duck we have for a president, quit their infighting, get off their collective dead asses, issue some live ammunition, land mines, some orders of engagement and stop these people from coming into this country. Someone needs to stand up to these SOB's and since the president of the Mexico can't and won't because he is to afraid of these people, along with the law enforcement community and military of Mexico, then it looks like it is time to "take the gloves off" and start shipping body bags to all points south in Texas, Arizona, and California.
These people understand only one thing and that is strength and pray on those that don't have the ability to defend themselves. Time to flex our muscles and show them that we are no longer the '98 pound weakling".
