Cartel war in Reynosa Mex

[Meatpie]

The Mexican state of Tamaulipas and particularly the border region with the USA have seen in recent weeks an increase in violence and gun battles between rival cartels, the Zetas on one side and an alliance between "La Familia", "Cartel Del Golfo" and the "Cartel de Sinaloa" who as a group name themselves as "the New Federation" on the other.

The Zetas are mostly military deserters who made their own drug running and smuggling cartel.

The new federation has gone to war against the Zetas because this last ones have been involved in kidnapping, extortion as protection and murder of innocent civilians.

Cities like Reynosa Tamaulipas is practically a ghost town, last week the USA closed its consulate in the city citing lack of security.
Most citizens stay indoors after dark and claim that the police is absent and the military stays away allowing the cartels cleansing to go on the streets.

National and local news media has been silent about the frequent gun battles and the state government has said that this are only rumors, paranoia and "nothing is happening in Reynosa",
in a response by local residents some decided to put videos on youtube and pictures on facebook and twitter of gunbattles and the aftermath.

In fact to some degree the usa allow s drugs.It was a well known fact during the regan years drugs were brought in and sold and the money went to fot the contras in nigaraugua.ALso the dea operates on what they take from the drug dealers homes moneys cars boats to pay thier salarys.Here local police officer may stop boys selling drugs and take their drugs and money and tell them to leave.They take the money for themselves and give the drugs to their drug dealers to sell and make a profit on.Many police officers will drive right past drug dealers and keep going while you are driving with out your seatbelt and they give you a 116.00 ticket.Some prefer to do that that arrest drug dealers because its easier and they dont have to do all the paperwork.And also there is the demand..Rich people and poor people want drugs but the rich have the money for it
