Once a Cartel breaks up and murders happen they ain't getting back together

[chinatownboy]

The police are right there, to put up yellow tape, after they're done.

If the Mexican government wasn’t part of the cartel then they would’ve stopped it a long time ago . The fact they want to back off and give them hugs proves that .

[cristo]

Rumor is they're fighting over who will supply the cats and dogs

[jedgarren]

This is los chapitos vs. El Flaco, the son of El Mayo.
The sons of the cartel founders are fighting for control of the Sinaloa cartel.

[Lora-G]

Hope the gangs rid themselves of themselves. They've destroyed enough.

[rigobertoyepez]

All about cash and corruption.

They All are dirty.🎉

[SamWilkinsonn]

Troops aren’t for the citizens, they’re for the powerful.

[dylanr]

Charles Bowden put it well. Sinaloa is the cradle of drug trafficking in mexico, its jurassic park.

What happened to the Mexican Army, Navy, and Marines? They used to stand for something until this narco hugging president 😴

[jackspencer]

It's amazing how as I age, the news presenters seem to always stay right at about 27 - 32 yrs old.

Failed state with a Cartel leader, it really is that simple.

[lmartinez]

In the south of Mexico people is moving to Live in Guatemala because the cartels … the whole country is a mess…

[parrotletsrunearth]

This ain't gonna get them back. They are there for LIFE!!!

[thugxlove]

This aint no war for control… El Mayos son wants revenge. Just so happens that if he gets his revenge, he automatically gains the control.. If he loses then well.. Chapitos win. Simple

[priusgame]

But Mexicans say Mexico is safer than USA lol

[Jas_]

Netflix should make a series out of this.

[MrCBeery]

Hugs not bullets. The Mexican President is either with the cartels or he is too scared to deal with them.

[Marquitos]

The American government is supplying all the armor and ammunition God blessed America

[PaulFormentos]
