Why? There's been worse and there will be more. Most of us are just numb to this grisly stuff after the past few years. You must have missed the
photo of the man who had the skin peeled off his face and placed next to his skull by his extortionists.
No one is willing to stop taking the Billions of narco drug money to either look the other way or break the narcos out of jail- so it will just go on
and on. The big guys carry millions in cash in suitcases with them to toss at the authorities- and it usually works. Not only to the authorities not
trust each other, the narcos don't trust each other either- so this will continue until judicial reforms are enacted and a new, clean policing force
is established. Not soon.

Just because, as you put it "There's been worse and there will be more" does not take away from the horribleness of 15 young men beheaded and put on
display. I do not feel numbness over the drug violence in MX, I feel a great sadness.

And what did these 15 young men do to lose their heads????
Were they innocent college/school kids or were they somehow involved in criminal activity........??????
Before anyone sheds a tear or loses sleep over this incident, dig deeper beyond the headlines and get to the facts.

You'll need a therapist if you keep reading these stories then- so just try not to. Much worse happens to women and children in Africa every day and
there are legitimate groups and efforts to resolve that. Maybe focus on things you can change to stay positive. Mexico just hasn't hit bottom yet
for things to start getting better.

Yeah, sorry about that- but people could better spend their energy where it can make a difference. Mexico is a slow motion train wreck that no one
really wants to stop. Yeah, the narco violence is sad- but not as sad as the systematic institutionalized corruption for a century that got Mexico to
this point, or the Mexican people who tolerated and fostered it all along. They peeed away a whole country in a hundred years. That's what's sad-
not some dead narcos who likely had nothing to contribute to their country in the first place. Those 20 tire shop vacationers killed by mistaken
identity a few months back in Acapulco I felt sad for. The money has corrupted everyone and no one in Mexico really wants to solve this whole narco
drug problem- because that pays everyone nothing. They'll work out a truce to quiet the public and quell the violence- so everyone can still get
paid.
