Narcos are to Mexico what terrorism is to the states. a bunch of exaggerated fear to keep the people in check, the Mexican government needs the narco fear and and they know it. Get rid of the narcos in Mexico and it would be filled with as much petty crime and drug users as the states does now.

I was there with my family just after Xmas. Near Cancun. Our taxi, with a woman, a man, and a 7 year old girl, was stopped by machine gun wielding soldiers at 2am and searched!

My friends in El Paso say it's not even worth going to Juarez anymore. It used to be no big deal to go to Juarez to see friends, hang out, shop, etc. but that has pretty much stopped. The street vendors are really hurting in downtown El Paso at the border because they depend on the Mexicans coming over to shop.
When you have a whole city that puts themselves under curfew to not leave their house after dark, without police telling them to, then you know it's bad.
The cartels get on the police radio frequencies and call them out by name and say, "Lead or money?" in Spanish. They don't have a choice but to be bought by the cartels because you see what has happened to the ones who aren't cooperating.

Guatemala is just as bad... more than 400 woman murdered in 2008 alone.

Guatemala has been in a civil war for 30-40 years.

Having been to Juarez, it doesn't seem like hype... it looks like a ghost town. I went to eat with friends, and we were one of two parties in a large restaurant. Now of course all Mexico isn't like that, but the time I spent in Juarez didn't exactly make me feel at ease like most other areas.

Here in the San Diego news, we hear of killings all the time. It has been quite for a month or so, but it started again. It sucks because I am going to the San Felipe 250 race this coming up weekend.

Yeah it's definitely for real. I feel a little weird being so close to a lot of the violence, yet getting to live in complete ignorance because it doesn't affect many people north of the border........ yet.
And that comment about a GTA game... I swear the stuff I read about it totally out of a game like that or something. Crazy.

i grew up near el paso/juarez - and seeing that city is basically under martial law, shit is gonna get wild in the coming weeks. that city is sketchy as fuck anyway- but now i wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a war zone

I think we need to send about 10 predator drones down there to scout, track then bomb the cartels. What I find interesting is that mexico is just trying to protect the cities instead of trying to squash the cartel. It's like, if you don't go here we won't go there. Utter BS.
- better guns solve everything.. Just look at Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan as an example.winnie_the_shit
- Every cop or official that talks about taking down the cartels gets killed. They just killed a freakin GENERAL a while ago.pocho
- yeah it's not that easy when the cartels are the ones in charge. :(sea_sea
