I
feel like a lot of the time my posts are about how I don't understand
how somebody could be so stupid. Or so cruel. Or so disgusting. Maybe
I am an optimist or like to see the good in humanity, but I am
genuinely shocked at every killing, every abuse. I just don't see how
somebody could do that to another human being, even when mentally
ill. Yes, sometimes I get mad or frustrated or offended. Yes, I am
competitive and (at least in soccer) aggressive. But I would never be
able to physically mutilate a person's body in such a scarring way.
Nonetheless,
these acts keep happening and today's story brings us to Mexico.
Incase you don't know, there are some turf wars going on down there
between different drug cartels. The Jalisco New
Generation gang, allied with the Sinaloa cartel, are fighting for
control of land against the Zetas drug cartel. The gangs kill mass
amount of people, disembody them, and then leave little notes to the
other side, pretty much saying that they are winning. What a
disgusting game. But anyways. Yesterday, police in Mexico found 18
bodies stuffed in vans (dismembered and beheaded) by a very popular
vacation destination, Lake Chapala. This killing was supposedly a
response to a killing that happened earlier (last Friday) of 23
people in Nuevo Loredo.
I
know that this is more than just an argument over land. Its an
argument over clients, over jobs, and ultimately over lifestyles. But
honestly, killing victims just to prove a point that your group is
stronger than the other is just revolting and not solving the
problem. Quick Question: Where is the Mexican government? The
Judicial System? The humanity? And how do we solve this problem
quickly, to prevent the loss of more lives in Mexico?
Hmph.
Sincerely
Sydney
