Officials in central Mexico say a drug cartel has kidnapped 14 local residents in apparent retaliation for an uprising by angry farmers who killed 10 cartel gunmen earlier this month.
With corruption so bad Mexicans can’t defend themselves because of their gun laws they can only own bolt action hunting rifles in strict situations while the cartels illegally own military grade semi-auto rifles and armored vehicles. These people have no one to protect them except themselves. These aren’t pistol wielding street thugs, they’re a coordinated army with no rules of engagement and no one of high authority to stop them because anyone who matters is compromised or threatened into silence.
