Mexico has clearly lost the battle against these cartels.

Hm, I've only heard bad things about that subreddit. Seems like the point is to deliberately shine a particular light on particular people.

You're referring to "Actual Public Freakouts". This one's the original.

that's actualpublicfreakouts

I don't get how this is a public freakout

Ah, my bad.

I mean it looks impressive, and obviously that's the point of the video, but how is this any different than before? They've always had bulletproof vests and automatic rifles. These guys just have uniforms

It's not, which was the original intention of the Actual Public Freakouts sub until it got taken over by the racists.

To be fair the regular Public Freakouts sub isn't much better

You can thank the fuckwits that vacation in Mexico for funding these cartels.

What about the US government that had allowed them to profit so much from the war on drugs?

I dont think the US government posts here. I bet quite a few posters have vacationed in Mexico though.

Therell will be videos of white people who are probably Trump supporters having public freak outs though, even the white people are crazy type comments. To what extent have the white racists appropriated that sub?

So? Are you saying that only the people that post here and have vacationed in Mexico are to blame, because there is no way that many people have funded the cartel.

Yeah, and thank those fuckwit alcoholics for funding the Mafia.

Legalize some drugs, decriminalize the rest. Incentivize businesses and steer the profits away from the cartels. Treat citizens with drug problems as needing help, not needing punishment & incarceration. Its ridiculous that we lead the world in number of prisoners.

Nothing an AC-130 or a Predator couldnt handle.

Damn didnt know this place had cartel shills. Better make my escape before yall dox me and BBQ my dog.

This shit is actually quite scary. In my dad and moms hometown, wont name city or state, some cartels started showing up. The town was pretty small, less than 1000, probably less than 500 people living there. It was pretty isolated and most of the people there were farmers. They owned lots of land out in the mountain areas and farmed for a living.

As soon as the cartel came in, they started abducting and forcing people out of their homes. All of the farm owners were stripped of their lands. The military and police would not get involved. People who spoke out were almost slaughtered or had someone in their family taken hostage and killed. One of the store owners in that town complained and called the Mexican army to step in (this happened several years ago). She had all of her kids taken hostage and killed. Her house and business was right across the street from my grandmas house.

One of my uncles from here, who fled from the US due to his criminal record, ended up getting snatched up by that same cartel. He didnt take them seriously at first and would occasionally go up to the fields and take marijuana or other shit and either smoke it himself or sell it. The cartels showed up at my grandmas house one night and took him. Our family had to pay a $20000 fee to free him. They freed him and left him alive, but not after they completely torched his genitals away.

Honestly that statistic doesn't hit as hard as it should.when you're talking about the world you are comparing it to cities in literal war zones. You're comparing them to isreal/Palestine border. Youre comparing it to warlord controlled cities in africa.

I've seen other cartel videos. This is scary how much equipment they have

I'm pretty certain they're saying "un cartel!" as in One (unified) Cartel

The cartels are so ruthless I have no doubt they would have no trouble wiping out ISIS if the 2 forces had a war

isis was never really that much of a threat to begin with.
they took advantage of a power vacuum and disenfranchisement the sunni's had towards the shia and alawite governments and an iraqi/syrian military that was in disarray.
they focused heavy on propaganda videos to make themselves seem more powerful than they actually were.

they overstretched themselves and once the iraqi military mobilized properly with allied bombing, they got dummied quickly.

the mexican military could do the same to the cartels as well if they didn't have to deal with their corrupt administration and took their kid gloves off.
