The Mexican city of Culiacan lived under drug cartel terror for 12 hours as gang members forced the government to free a drug lord’s son, but in many parts of Mexico, the government ceded the battle to the gangs long ago. Ggunmen drove machine-gun mounted armored trucks through the streets. But in state after state, the Mexican government long ago relinquished effective control of whole towns, cities and regions to the drug cartels. Citizens say the cartels are the law...if you have a problem, you go to them..they solve it. The police are too afraid to enter the town of El Aguage. They did make a rare appearance last Monday and the were ambused by cartel gunmen. State police officers were short or burned to death in their vehicles.
Why is there not being more said in the news about our neighbor to the south and how this is going to affect the United States?
