Why?

The first thought I had upon reading about the slaughter of nine Americans in Mexico was WHY? Northern Mexico has been a war zone for some time now. The deaths in some of their cities rival Chiraq and Detoilet.
As with those cities, the citizens have been disarmed by a government bent on dominating rather than serving. The people lack the means to resist. Keep that in mind when communists posers mention common sense gun control.
There are many more why's.
Why did the cartel choose to kill these people? This is about sending a message, telling common peasants, people like you and me, that we are powerless to resist them. There is no Paul Kersey wandering the streets of Sonora tonight.
So why would anyone choose to live in a war zone like that? The Mormon community there is an FLDS hold out group. They believe in polygamy, something all our states have outlawed. You can shack up any way you care, but the moment you introduce marriage to the equation,it becomes a crime.
My view on the Mormon church as a whole is that it is a sex cult. There is no Moroni, and the book of Mormon is a fabrication of Joseph Smith. In my view it is counter to islam. whereas the muslims are hyper violent, most Mormons are peaceful and decent folks. Both warp the Biblical description of GOD.
If these people lived in the United States, they would be constantly harassed by the government. While I completely disagree with their religion, I believe they should have the right to practice it with out fear to a point. That point being where they subjugate others or threaten others.
So what should we be thinking about doing? The violence is increasing. It is spreading into American cities. The wall isn't going to stop this although it will certainly help.
Harry Coyle's book Trial by fire lays down the scenario. At some point we will need to consider invading Mexico and putting a stop to this.
If we do, we need to protect the government of Mexico. no matter how corrupt, they were elected, and we need to assure the people that they will be able to elect their own leaders with out interference.
At the same time, we need to execute every drug smuggler, every cartel hitman, and every boss we can find. The day is coming when the United States Military becomes the world's Paul Kersey.
