The hit too. To be so expendable, it was a suicide mission, and the shooters’ families, so expendable, too. They hand you the gun; you can either shoot them, shoot yourself, or go shoot some stranger, and if you do anything other than shoot the stranger, they kill you and your family, too. That’s what’s behind the drug trade. Mexico doesn’t go after the banks that enable the cartels, so this is what they choose.
It’s like in America how the old-monied elites refuse to act on overwhelmingly popular gun reforms, so they have chosen unchecked firearms deaths for the American public.
