    You know what keeps people from getting violent. Shelter from the elements, food in their bellies, and healthcare. You have to have something to lose.

      Another thing is shelter from foreign influence campaigns. The US and Europe got got with that so now we’re sending it south

      This is all so dumb and we’re repeating the past.

    It just means Mexican police will be given chemical weapons and other military hardware to subdue whatever they imagine as a threat.

    Violence always leads to more violence. Always.

      Ah yes, the violence of the police has begotten violence from the youth. I also agree that the cop swine are getting the comeuppance. Vive la révolution, brother.
