I just saw this on the news a few minutes ago on the Spanish channel with new information. Apparently they had a criminal history, probably all of them or only a few of them.

According to the BBC the whole thing was actually a mix-up by the cartel and they have actually come forward and turned in the men who did the killing and apologized.

Hey, I'm sure it was just to avoid the US and the Mexican government collaborating on carpet bombing some of these cartel bases, but actually turning in the men who did it and apologizing is still way above and beyond what I would have expected them to do.

I also believe they grabbed 4-5 low level thugs and said you guys won the lottery.

I refuse to believe a cartel group is doing anything like this out of the goodness of their hearts. Nor are they actually sorry for their associates murdering innocents. Its, as you said, smoke and mirrors to prevent the US from retaliating.

Many cartel kidnappings kinda go under the radar.

This. The Mexican cartels can't take the entire US military so they are sending scapegoats to bare the brunt of US ire. However the US wouldn't deploy the military to try and take down all of the Mexican cartels as retaliation because who would buy excess illegal goods, guns and drugs, from the US then?

The goverment doesn't (at least as far as we know) benefit from such things so why would they care?

Wasn't a republican dude talking about sending troops? then again it's not like it's his call, but seems like they dont care if they kill the people buying their guns.
