Drug Cartels in Mexico

I think it is unmoral to fine an abandoned car with a body in the trunk with their hands tied together and a bullet in their head. It is ridiculous that in a day 10 people have been killed, and it continues on to the next day. In the article it says "More than 2,000 people have been murdered in Juarez so far this year, according to police. Just this week, two students from the University of Texas at El Paso were shot and killed there." Its wrong that all these innocent people are dying because rivalry drug cartels. It also says "The Mexican government estimates that as many as 28,000 people have been killed by the cartels since 2007, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the cartels." it has been about 3 years and 28,000 people was killed, this is horrid and it has to be stopped. I think it is smart that the good guys wear masks to hide their identity and for the safety of their families. I found it interesting that they say "Antebi says the government is trying to crack down on the cartels, and has arrested many key figures over the last two years. But he believes those efforts have only provoked even greater violence." this quote is basically saying they are provoking them even more by arresting key figures. It is interesting to me is because it is true with every situation any way you handle it, it will escalade into something bigger.



In the video my most favorite photo is when Antebi was saying only the good guys where mask, and the photo of the man wearing an all black suit, with a mask, helmet, goggles, and vest he is holding his gun in his right arm aiming it to the floor. The photographer uses simplicity in this photo to make it interesting because in the photo it is focused on the good guy only and the background is blurry bringing out the man even more. This photo is my favorite because the main part of it is the man, the man is a good guy. This photo makes it looks like he is in the army and he is fighting for what he believes in, making our homes safe. The good guy is putting his life out there to protect innocent people and his family in my eyes that is a super hero.
