If they try to take El Paso, the police will be the least of a Mexican drug cartel's problem. Texans are armed and will not hesitate to shoot back.
I hope this will work but fighting the drug cartels in the USA hasn't been successful thus far and that war has been going on for nearly forty years with billions if not trillions of dollars expended. It's simple, Americans want their drugs and will pay to get them.
The cartel's brutalize the innocents, the media and government officials and their families. It's like guerrilla war, they all wear civilian clothes and kill with precision and effect.
The people who don't use drugs or work in the media or is a government official will prolly not be directly affected, except as innocent bystanders when the bombs blow or the bullets fly.
But make no mistake the population will be under their control by having the news suppressed and government casting a blind eye on cartel's activities.
Headless bodies lying about send a powerful message, especially when assassination is done in the ten's of people at one time. It's always the small fry that are caught. The cartels are adept at using law as a shield.
Latest news from Mexico talks of reporters banding together, good luck with that.
There seems to be a confluence of pressure on democratic America, drugs, immigration, soured middle class, endless wars, a hated federal government, massive debt (did I overlook something) and no solutions for any of this.
The monk in the white sheet carrying the sign proclaiming "the end is near", often depected on opinon pages, is probably more correct today than when he first stated his crusade.
