What more can I say?! The war against the drug gangs in Mexico has long been out of control, its a complete chaos to be honest and sadly headlines like these are not a rarity these days.

Will the situation in Mexico ever resolve? So many people who have lost their lives, so many more who are being terrorized on a daily basis.

Hopefully our fearless leaders will wake up someday and realize that prohibitions on vice are a losing game.

It turns the weak into criminals and the ruthless into even bigger criminals.


50,000 lives lost in Mexico alone in the last 5 years, all from our misguided drug laws.


Is it irony that most of our drug laws were enacted as ways to push Mexicans back into Mexico?
