      @Tobirama Senju The problems are much more widespread. I have too many friends who have done contracting work down South. The issue is the government does not care enough to start executing these dogs in the street for everyone to see. You want change for Mexico? It starts with the executing of people like El Chapo, and others who think they are above the law. You want to cut the head off the snake? You have to get your hands dirty. It honestly would need to be like the movie Sicario and Sicario 2. You need to go completely cold blooded to end the cycle.

      if only the story had ended there. After Marisela's killing one of her sons kept investigating, for that Marisela's family business was burned down and her remaining sons received very real death threats for them and their kids, they had to escape and request asylum to the US. Hope I was making this up, look at her documentary. People think about 3rd world countries as places filled with cowards and lazy people, but they don't understand how big, rich and powerful the organizations that traffick Drugs to America and Europe are, they own everything down there and if you decide to confront them they'll destroy everything you love. Even the famous story of Alejo Garza, an elderly man who single handedly had a gun fight to save his ranch from the Cartel and killed several cartel enforcers has a sad twist, when you realize that he gave his life fighting but at the end the cartel took over the ranch from his family. Or there you have the Lebanon mormons who for years fought back the cartel and recently had a truck full of their children burned, or the Self defense groups in the state of Michoacan that were successful when the police was overrunnes by the cartels, but currently are facing a gruesome extermination process at the hands of the mobsters because they don't have money to support their defense, nothing compares to the money the drug game provides, and these animals will kill and destroy everything that stands in the way of the millions of dollars they can make, if they are in a good mood they,ll buy everything and everyone and if they can't buy they'll just take it. It has been more then a decade of open war in the streets of Mexico to prohibit drug trafficking, Younger generations of kids see the cartels as the real power and the only way to escape poverty, most of them come from broken families destroyed by this very war, more deviant, more twisted and violent each day. You destroy a cartel here and a new one with better weapons and training pops up over there, and no one seems to understand that there is a bigger game in place, that even the big banks have been caught red handed willingly laundering cartel money.

    I was born in EL Paso TX and have lived here for most of my adult life. The Local news have never covered this story. This is the first I am hearing of this story. Not ABC , NBC, or CBS local affiliate. I had a cousin who born and lived in Juarez. He was killed at a park , playing soccer. We were told that he was killed when he refused to give up his soccer ball to Gang members. No one was ever charged and the cops never investigated his death. Now I understand why. It upset me when people say drugs are a victimless crime. Tell that to that poor lady.

    I’m from chihuahua, the Zetas who were working with the Juarez Cartel were the ones responsible for all the senseless murders. They both also employed a super large street gang called the Barrio Azteca. The barrio azteca were the ones killing and reaping women, they did it because they had the protection of the Zetas and the Juarez cartel.
    In 2012 Juarez hired a former military officer named Julián Leyzaola. He analyzed what was going on and it is believed he let El Chapo and the Sinaloa Cartel take over Juarez because he believed the Barrio Azteca (which was employed by Zetas and Juarez cartel) where the ones responsible for all the women being murdered.
    Well wouldn’t you know it, after a couple of months working in Juarez and after a couple of assassination attempts on his life. Juarez drastically reduced in murders and women becoming missing. With the Sinaloa cartels presence and police working with the Sinaloa cartel things became ok, not perfect but drastically better.
    Well now that he is no longer police chief in Juarez and now that the state and police are back to working with the Juarez cartel and Barrio Azteca shit is going back to how it used to be.
    There is a documentary called Mexico’s Bravest Man (2016) it’s on Amazon video but I’m sure you can also find it on TH-cam. It tells the story of Julián Leyzaola and how he helped clean up Tijuana and later Juarez. This documentary exposes all the corruption the Mexican government tries to sweep under the rug.

    Mexico is a strange place, it hasn’t had a war in over a hundred years yet there is always violence, from the massacres in the 1800s and early 1900s to the Tlatelolco massacre, The Corpus Christi massacre, the rise of the cartels and there remnants still killing each other today. A never ending cycle of brutal violence.

      Most people you run into on a day to day are good people. They may have some bad mannerisms like being too pushy, but it's because their environment has shaped them that way. There are, however, some real bad elements there. When Law and Order doesn't exist, the worst of humanity often comes out in the open. Just a shame because from what I heard and what I remember when I was really young, Juarez was so beautiful to visit. Now it's viewed so terribly.

    We hear of stories of crime daily here in the US. Most are gang-related, or petty crimes (in comparison) and we’re terrified (understandably). Then we hear stories like Marisela’s and we realize how truly terrifying it is to live in many parts of Mexico and how bad others have to live their daily lives. We also hear about courageous and brave stories daily. Then we hear about what Marisela did, went through and endured to seek justice for not only her daughter but thousands of others also. It’s incredible, inspiring, heart warming and yet at the same time just down right scary how a mother went up against a corrupt and cowardly government just so that they can do their job. That’s more than devotion, more than courage and more than anger. That’s love. Her story is more than tragic, yes. It’s also proof that there are incredible, honest, hard-working and courageous people in Mexico that are purposely falsely viewed by many of us. Marisela is also a reminder that they too deserve to live as we do, as best we can. Truly courageous woman, Marisela was.

      @@Jason-sg1uo Please enlighten all the JRE podcast listeners about the glorious people's Paradise known as Mexico. Make sure you mention the sparkling human rights record of the secret police that were disbanded and the 1980s. Don't talk about the long history of suppressing peasant revolts in the south or the death of student activists. The United States certainly doesn't help Mexico with our stupid war drugs. But, to pretend the Mexican governments structures are not corrupt to the core is laughable. The DEA who spends millions of dollars on drug interdiction in Mexico has admitted that there are virtually no uncorrupted cops. The DEA must choose between the least corrupted cops when running anti-drug operations.

    Zetas didn't start as a cartel, they were the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel, and by proxy the Sinaloa Cartel. they didn't defect from those leaders until the later 2000's when Heriberto Lazcano finally decided they could handle their own drug business while simultaneously ridding their former leaders of their muscle which was they themselves. it was the cause of a extreme wave of violence around 2010-2012

      @@alphijr they were Zetas all along but that's just a name. What I'm saying is they didnt begin as a cartel. They were just enforcers, bodyguards and trigger men when needed for the CDG and Sinaloa Cartel. It took them over about a decade to become their own bosses i.e. their own cartel. It's fairly common place these armed wing groups for cartels develop an image that people began to think they're cartels themselves. The Nuevo Leon "Anthrax" group is an example and maybe "La Sombra" as well. And the sense it makes is for the sake of getting information right.

      @@alphijr Like what shotgun said. They broke apart. Los Zetas had reigned supreme, special force commandos trained by IDF. They are broken apart now from losing the war with Sinaloa Cartel Federation. CDS (Cartel Del Sinaloa) were allies with Juarez Cartel. Sinaloa Cartel had the Mexican Government and Military help fracture Los Zetas.
      As of now Los Zetas are in smaller groups fighting each other. Old School Zetas fighting against CDN (A renegade group who broke apart) and Gulf Cartel.
      So right now CJNG which only took 9 years became first most powerful cartel to ever grow rapidly in history. This group broke apart with Sinaloa Cartel and is at war with them right now. Leader is El Mencho who has ruthless ways with enemies. Sinaloa Cartel is still the top but CJNG rivals them and possibly might surpass them. And now remnants of New Cartel Del Juarez allied themselves to CJNG. More waves of violence in Mexico going to drop records high now.

And Maxi pretty much explained the entire situation with clarity. CJNG is predicted to be the next top dog in the Mexican theatre of the war on drugs. The infighting going on with CDS between El Mayo (2nd in command to El Chapo prior to capture) and Los Chapitos (el Chapos two sons) has fractured and splintered the organization to the point they're losing hold on some of the most sought after border corridors. Because of it we may even see the end of what's generally agreed upon as the oldest criminal organization in Mexico, The Gulf Cartel. They'd only been holding on because of backing in the form of funding and man power from Sinaloa.

      I used to be ignorant to thinking the wall was just wrong. It was more so the way trump was ignorant and his poor choice of words about Mexicans. But the thing is even though the idea of the wall is almost impossible because of the costs to build it and the fact that some terrain wouldn’t allow for a wall to go through it I think the idea of having stricter border security is fair. People and drugs are trafficked because of the stupid cartels. People were outraged when they found out families were being kept in immigration camps but they didn’t bother informing themselves on why. Turns out they were trying to prevent the trafficking of women and children by doing DNA tests and making sure that those claiming to be related were actually related. So wanting to have stricter borders is the best for both sides
