re: #290 CuriousLurker

OT: You know how people are screeching about how horrible ISIS/IL is. how they’re the worst, most brutal group ever? Yeah, they’re really disgusting, but the Mexican cartels have them beat in terms of brutality.

Someone (ww, I think) posted a link (tweet?) that went to an article at the NY Times about some students in Mexico that have been killed (or are missing):

Out of curiosity I (foolishly) goggled mexican cartel assassination. The extreme levels of violence I saw doesn’t make ISIS any less reprehensible, but their scariness as bogeymen takes a back seat to the cartel guys, especially since they’re much closer to home and have been killing people for years & years.
