Sad to state this but some Americans’ insatiable appetite for drugs is what keeps these monsters in business. And the innocent die.

Tragic.

The following are simply facts and in no way meant as an excuse for this heinous crime: The vast majority of firearms in Mexico originate in the United States. The vast majority of drugs from Mexico are consumed in the United States.

Limiting the number of firearms easily available in the United States and legalizing drugs there will go a long way in relieving the violence stemming from America's love of drugs and firearms.

In a tweet, President Donald Trump offered to help Mexico

A tweet!?  Nine American's slaughtered and he tweets?  Not a phone call?  Offers to wage a war by tweet?  Americans should be ashamed of this heartless man who appears to feel zero empathy with his country men and woman who have just been brutally slaughtered.  Including 8 old month twins.  He tweets.

An absolute nightmare. What kind of sick person kills innocent babies? These are animals! My deepest condolences to the families. It is now apparent the Mexican government are powerless to do anything for fear of reprisals and their own lives. If the Mexican government doesn’t go after these criminals and the President offered assistance to help them or Trump needs to designate the Cartel as a terrorist organization and that would change the dynamic as to how to engage or what resources they need to use against them, but this should never go unpunished.

Nobody knows how to fight the cartels. They don't play by any rules. Extortion, kidnapping, and violence against anyone, anywhere, is their MO.

@Crazyjoe

America isn't their only market. The Sinaloa cartel is also the largest drug provider to most of Europe. The reach of that Cartel is large. The recent surge in violence is because the once united groups are now fighting for power because of the absence of Joaquin Guzman (El Chapo). In a way, chasing and capturing El Chapo has made the situation in Mexico a lot more dangerous.

The outrage now is because the victims are Americans but thousands of Mexicans are killed every year. 

But as an American, I’m allowed to be outraged my countrymen were needlessly slaughtered.

The American government seems to be powerless to stop the drugs going north and the gun south.

Again, all the more reason for Trump to designate the Cartel as a terrorist organization, that completely changes the dynamic as to how to engage these monsters.

"There's apparently a war right now," a relative of the dead who did not want his name used for fear of reprisals said wearily. "It's been going on for too long."

Apparently, it would seem so.

Um...haven't been paying attention to American operations in the Mideast? Or South and Central America? Vietnam even? What do you think 'collateral damage' means? Your apparent inability to see American behavior makes it obvious you're an American and a victim of our national character flaw: Compulsive Hypocrisy with Hysterical Denial Syndrome. And the White, polygamous Mormons in Mexico have killed their share of Mexicanos in establishing their fiefdoms in a foreign country.

I vehemently reject that and I know my history and I also know how the war was waged with these countries, but this is year 2019 and there are many, many ways to target the cartels. Again, designate them as a terrorist organization and that will definitely change the dynamic as to how to engage these people.

Designating the Cartels as terrorist organizations (they aren't already?)

Not officially

is useless as is force. But, there IS one simple thing trump could do which would punish the cartels beyond ANYTHING else, which would, in fact, DESTROY them all. End the DEA, the 'Drug War', and make addiction the MEDICAL problem that it is. I realize I'm trying to preach sanity to the propagandistically deranged but what else to do? OUR behavior is insane and we expect sane responses to it which says our expectations are insane as well. And FIFTY years of these same murderous behaviors by the U.S.

I do think they should legalize drugs to a certain point, but that’s not and will not cure the cancer the Cartels are.

*Government and the PROBLEM IS WORSE THAN IT EVER WAS. Where are the conservatives who whine about government incompetence HERE? Hmm? Too many Whites getting rich off of this chaotic murderous debacle? And imagine religion-obsessed Mexicans attempting to set up little 'separate states of Mexico' inside the U.S.? Even Americans couldn't do that in Waco, Texas without being DELIBERATELY IMMOLATEDMEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. If you want to end such things, maybe start in Texas. But, if you want Biblical for your beliefs, G-d's commands to Moses and Joshua regarding Jericho will not help you. It's in The Book...every man, woman, child, and beast... And that's real;ly us, dontcha think?*

In Texas we do things very differently.

dozens of bullets and apparently hit the gas tank, causing it to explode.

Someone watches to many movies. Shooting a gas tank does not cause it to explode.

But Mexico's president said: "The worst thing you can have is war."

But Mexico already has a war with the cartels. Refusing to acknowledge it or fight back will doom Mexico to increasing horrors and a decline of the rule of law and the power of it's government.

So Trump is offering military intervention into another country's crime problem? What did Trump do after 58 people were killed and 851 injured by the Las Vegas shooter? Did he offer anything to stop the killings here? What has he done to stop the "carnage" he talked about in his inaugural speech? What a loser.

So Trump is offering military intervention into another country's crime problem?

Wait....uh....who’s side are you on? Personally, I think Mexico should get a heads up, when you start indiscriminately killing babies for the sheer pleasure (and I’m not buying that BS it was probably a mistaken identity. These people knew what they were doing) of it, these monsters don’t need a reason. Anyone that knows anything about the Cartel is, they have no code of honor, ethics or remorse when they butcher people, none whatsoever. People like them need to be put down, locked up for life either way we need to make sure all American citizens are protected.

What did Trump do after 58 people were killed and 851 injured by the Las Vegas shooter? Did he offer anything to stop the killings here?

What? Getting in the weeds again?

What has he done to stop the "carnage" he talked about in his inaugural speech? What a loser.

I hope this wakes up the socialists that want open borders realize that we need strong border security, if anyone is loser on this issue are the Democrats. They don’t take the Cartels seriously and they don’t take border security seriously or crime for that matter.

Task Utah Senator Mitt Romney with leading how this is handled. He has more credibility as someone who was born in one of the northern Mexico Mormon enclaves, which were set up to get away from US fed and state police raids in the first place.

Romney wasn't born in Mexico. He was born in Michigan. Why attempt to lie about that?

@theFu--oops, honest mistake. It was his father George, later governor of Michigan, who was born in one of the Mexican expat enclaves, according to Smithsonian.com etc. Yes, Mitt is American-born and says he doesn't know any of the people involved in this shooting. I still think he would be better diplomatically to deal with this.

As we all bare responsibility for waste and pollution. Those sticking stuff up their nose, popping molly on the weekend and yelling anti government slogans when it suits, remember the blood is also on your hands. Make a stand against that woke ones. This tragedy is one shared by many.

Actually no, lets just make it about trump again. Sorted.

People just can't refrain from using illegal drugs. Complain that they should be legal or whatever, but if you're a user, there's a very high chance that someone was killed so that you could consume from that specific batch. But hey, who cares about those poor folk, as long as we can get high, right?

2 ( +4 / -2 )

In recent months, about 100 people are murdered (mainly because of the drug cartels) everyday in Mexico. That's 1,000 people every 10 days, 30,000 people per month. 90,000 people every 3 months . . . Is that right?! If that's true, then it would put Mexico right up there with Syria as being one of the most dangerous areas of the planet.

Anyway, this is horrible and the end of the cartels will only come about when the drugs trade is legalized. Cut out the violence, and deliver clean product.

But what brave politicians will realize this?

Trump needs to designate the Cartel as a terrorist organization and that would change the dynamic as to how to engage

doubt that will stop them , you've got basically a terrorist organization with $billions in cash easy access to weapons they'll make IRA look like a choir boys. tens thousands of civilians will die as they'll most likely target civilians with bombs as well as guns if the Mexico and American governments declare war on them

 they'll make IRA look like a choir boys.

Bit of a difference, there. The modern IRA came about as a reaction to the discrimination and brutalization of the Catholic population in the occupied 6 counties. See attacks on the Civil Rights movement etc.

But yes, a war on the cartels will spill much blood and achieve little. The only way, I believe, is to make drugs legal and cut out the cartels.

Prohibition doesn't work. It creates a nation of racketeers and violence. And not everyone who does drugs loses control of their faculties. Not that I'm a fan of hard drugs, natch. But it should be the choice of the people.

Could try stopping the illegal sale of guns inside America and better gun control so they buy less guns.

That wouldn’t work as there are millions of illegal guns on the streets and underground.

But in fact the American border guards do not care what is going south.

Democrats don’t care what’s going on in the South.

Sadly leftist talking heads on TV using this tragedy as proof that Mexico isn’t safe enough for all the economic migrants. All those migrants must be granted immediate access to safety in the USA.

Legalizing drugs doesn’t work either, look at LA, NY, SF, Seattle and Portland.

The only drug legalized in those places is marijuana. The violence and waste of law enforcement resources in those areas related to marijuana had plummeted since legalization.

That wouldn’t work as there are millions of illegal guns on the streets and underground. 

It wouldn't work immediately, but would have an effect over time. I know you Trumpophiles think we shouldn't try something if it doesn't solve a problem immediately, but that's not how reality works.

No pot shots at America or Americans but a genuine interest to find real solutions to real problems and not to just whitewash the facts like its Mexico's problem and not America.

Denying the truth evades the solution.

liberals don’t have any solutions and over the last three years they haven’t even tried to work with this president not one bit in trying to stop the flow of illegals and to bring up ideas how to slow down the drug cartels or put them out of commission, they’re too busy chasing after Russia and Ukraine ghosts. That’s the hard truth.

Yes refugees are not economic migrants. These people at the Mexico border however, are economic migrants. They are all coming for jobs to make money to send back to their families or to get benefits illegals get.

Sorry but you are very short sighted

I’m not, but the Democrats are and they’re not even trying to tackle the problem or do whatever it takes stop this, as long as we take the liberal approach and make excuses...nothing will change, absolutely nothing.

I even didn't mentioned Trump in my comments because the serious problems of drug cartels American drug use and allowing the sale of illegal guns predates all the way back to when Kennedy was president.

We have never fully and aggressively tried to tackle this problem head on.

The current crop of liberals haven't been in power for the past three years.

The way they run their mouths you’d think a millennium has already passed.

You deflections does not deal with the real issues.

Not me, talk to the Democrats, they’re the ones that don’t care. If they don’t care about border security why on Earth would they care about the Cartels? But yes, the Kurds and impeachment are the only things that matter to them, nothing else.

Then what was the $1 trillion spent on over the past 50 years for the American war on drugs?

Again, the full fury of the US might has never been truly unleashed on these terrorists.

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

Firstly drug cartels and drug gangs are not terrorists. 

They most definitely are and unwilling to acknowledge that critical point is the reason why we can never truly tackle this problem. Any person shooting up and burning alive innocent women and children as well as babies is actually worse than a terrorist.

The Posse Comitatus Act is an act that prohibits the federal government from using the armed forces as a posse comitatus for law enforcement,

Laws can always be changed and the President can always issue an executive order, he’s serious and yet the Democrats aren’t? Ahh, they’re too busy trying to impeach this President on who knows what

Today, the president of Mexico declined any offers of help from America.

Yes, he’s more worried about his neck than to tackle the problem. This is why nothing ever changes in Mexico, no one is willing to take a stand. I know it’s hard I get it and it’s extremely risky, but if you don’t take the initiative and that first step, nothing will change. Wanting change also means possibly putting your own life at risk. Either you fight this as dirty as the Cartels or you’re just putting a band aid on the problem and just blowing smoke.

-4 ( +1 / -5 )

I doubt the Posse Comitatus Act can be changed which was enacted in 1878. The president does not have the executive order to sent military troops into Mexico.

When US lives are at stake he does.

You don't accept that the American drug problem has existed for 80 years? It's not about the current crop of democrats.

You can believe that, I don’t and again, I’m not talking about the drug problem, let’s keep the focus on the families that were murdered in cold blood by these terrorists.

@CS

Thats the truth! I agree.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

so tell me what order the president can issue allowing U.S. troops to enter Mexico?

the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has claimed that the Constitution authorizes the president, as commander in chief, to order the military to attack other countries without congressional permission if the president determines that this would be anticipatory self-defense or otherwise serve the interests of the United States

Trump reduced the funding given to Mexico for fighting the drug cartels.

The Mexican government has never done anything monumental to try and stop the Cartels.

Last week the first new mile of the Trump wall was started.

It was started earlier this Spring but you wouldn’t know it because the liberal media hasn’t been or won’t do their job, but conservatives knew.

Those people are Mexicans when in Mexico.

An hold US citizenship and their families are US citizens.

So you refuse to accept the American responsibility for creating the demand for drugs which at least started in the 1960's.

I want to keep the conversation focused on the terrorists, that’s what the topic is about.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

Except people with dual nationality and in the country of the that, in this case they are Mexican citizens and not covered by protection with American laws.

Actually, that’s not true, because they possess dual citizenship, they can claim they are American as well.

But an attack against Mexican citizens would not be self defense.

Against an American citizen it would and you don’t see the Mexican government running to their defense either, but to the Mexican Federalies why would they care if some Gringo is shot?

Since the beginning of the drug war, the Mexican authorities have killed 360,000 drug people.

I’m not talking about the expendable foot soldiers, I’m talking about taking out the leadership, hard and heavy and make it intolerable for them.

Construction of Trump's wall, new mile began last week.

No, it started in the spring, CNN and msnbc have been focusing on Mueller and impeachment and the news be damned because to the pundits, it doesn’t matter what the public wants, the Democrats will force feed you on what you should focus on, but conservatives knew the construction was underway.

Then has you kill one cartel another will be formed. The problems will continue.

Yeah, they said the same thing about the NYC mafia and although they’re still present, they’re all former shadows of themselves.

Thanks Rudy.

You claim to have dual nationality so you should know what it means.

I do and that’s why I stand behind what I said.

The victims and Mormons with Mexican dual nationality are Mexican while in the country and must enter and leave with a Mexican passport.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

It generally is considered that while dual nationals are in the country of which they are citizens that country has a predominant claim on them.

Yes, in normal circumstances, but this is not one of them. OBL was in the care of Pakistan, we didn’t ask their permission to get him, we didn’t ask the Mexican government if we could keep El Chapo either and Trump if pushed given the horrific circumstances can do the same and the family will come to the US to seek refuge since they are US citizens as well.

How exactly do you know the Dems won't do anything regarding this tragedy?

They haven’t done anything on the border so far, so why would they do something now even in this tragic situation? They’re too busy worrying about a stupid phone call. 27 Americans have been murdered in Mexico this year and none of the liberal networks mention it. But who cares, no big deal, we have to worry about Zelenskiy and the Kurds that’s way more important. Smh....

Yes, in normal circumstances, but this is not one of them

How do you determine it isn't a "normal circumstance"?

This is a strange way to say that you don't know that then Dems won't do anything.

Do you really need to be reminded about the Dems attempts to fortify the border and address immigration in 2013 that was shot down by the open-border republicans?

Killing innocent children and women and burning them alive doesn’t meet that criteria.

This is a strange way to say that you don't know that then Dems won't do anything.

I think so as well. They haven’t so far. But when it comes to Trump, they’re laser focused....or you would think...

Do you really need to be reminded about the Dems attempts to fortify the border

And yet they haven’t done anything so far in the last 3 years to help this President secure the border, to end sanctuary cities, none of it, in fact they’ve done the exact opposite.

Yeah, this doesn't change the fact that Mexico captured himand agreed to extradite him, which means your description of us not asking Mexico for him was completely incorrect.

I think so as well. They haven’t so far. But when it comes to Trump, they’re laser focused....or you would think..

I really do, but I’m a serious person and I don’t want to engage in liberal hyperbole especially when it comes to this tragic issue.

California dreamin. 

The reality is different but liberals refuse to see it.

Liberal hippies wrote the song, go figure....

America is bleeding $1 trillion every year in drug addictions and gun homicides which is more than the national defense budget and over 20 years equal to just about the amount of the national debt.

Which has nothing to do with this family being brutally murdered. I care more about that than the debt. Money can’t replace life.

It has everything to do with the brutal murder

No, people have choices, don’t make an excuse for what happened, everyone has a choice and these terrorists decided to end the lives of innocent people.

Who shots 8 month old innocent helpless babies? Only cold-blooded Psycho killers.

Using American guns bought with American dollars supplying the American drug market.

Which part don't you get?

Ok, so you’re saying and making excuses that these terrorists in Mexico didn’t have the will or fortitude to reject killing innocent women and children? You keep making excuses for adults that can decide right from wrong. If you can kill babies you are worse than a terrorist, indescribably evil.

Nobody is trying to excuse this heinous crime. How many times do you have to be told that? We are discussing the root causes of these crimes.

No, Americans attacked in a horrific way we will seek justice no matter where or how long it takes.

Eight people v 3,000+.

I did and there is nothing at all this year, but driving around California, you see how miserably the Democrats policy on the border as well as illegals has completely failed.

Clearly you haven't done any research. Love that you break out a personal anecdote as if it is appropriate support for a claim in critical discourse.

I really do, but I’m a serious person and I don’t want to engage in liberal hyperbole especially when it comes to this tragic issue. The President offered the Mexican President assistance and the Democrats have said nothing about this tragedy, the only thing that is occupying their cerebral cortex is impeachment and nothing more, that’s painfully obvious, but predictable.

Incorrect.

Nobody is trying to excuse this heinous crime.

....and yet liberals are still making excuses and it’s been three days now or four days and still I don’t hear any drastic action to be taken by the Democrats, these people are all talk, but they will run their mouths with this impeachment hoax.

Clearly you haven't done any research

But I did, I wouldn’t lie and it’s all there to see. Buy a ticket, go to LA or SF and tell me we don’t have an immigration problem. I know California loves it’s weed, but once you put the reefer down, it’s quite apparent.

you are commenting on the effects or symptoms of this brutal tragic and very violent crime. But even if killing the entire drug cartel won't resolve the problem because it will only be replaced by another new one with further killings of mostly Mexicans.

Then as with radical islamists, you target the senior leader infrastructure of the Cartel, take them out after you re-designate them as terrorists and threat them as such.

You also keep wanting to put all of the responsibility on the current democrats

A great deal of it, yes, I do, especially in California.

California is not the state with the highest level of illegal drugs used.

I’m not talking about drugs, I’m talking about this family (The topic at hand) that was senselessly murdered, but I get it, liberals don’t want to talk about it, most of the other networks are not covering it. They need to focus on a bogus impeachment inquiry.
