U.S. orders American tourists to shelter in place in Mexico after cartel leader is killed (www.houstonchronicle.com)

The federal government ordered U.S. citizens to shelter in place across five Mexican states Sunday after the Mexican army killed one of the country's most powerful cartel leaders.

The shelter in place applies to Mexico's Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon states, according to the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico. The Mexican army announced Sunday that it had killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," who led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which is known for trafficking massive amounts of fentanyl and other drugs into the United States, the Associated Press reported.

The U.S. issued the shelter in place order because of "ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity," according to the embassy and consulates. The killing launched hours of roadblocks and burning vehicles across multiple Mexican states — methods that cartels use to interfere with military operations, according to the AP.

Are you that stupid?

You are that stupid

Maybe ask the Philippines how that shit went with Duterte

These strong men wannabees always do fix it. Crime goes down like crazy when you just lock up or kill everyone without rights without lawyers without a process, it's not that hard.

The problem is the thousands of innocents that you kill / torture / lock up for life, and he'll, even the criminals who got their rights violated

Violating human rights isn't just a cute headline, it's a crime itself and usually it's amongst the worst crimes possible.

Your suggestion NEVER worked and never solved anything

☝️comment was spot on. Absolutely 🔥 truth.

Crime rates maybe go down because you're going hyperbolic with the state monopoly on violence but also that kind of authoritarian regime often has control over the data. When you don't care for process you generally don't care for integrity.

Generally speaking, crime goes down in authoritarian regimes because they'll basically lock up everyone, including the criminals.

I never said they got better at reducing crime, the lower crime rates are more a "happy extra" so to speak
