RCMP link B.C. gang violence to Mexican drug wars

I'm not surprised at all about gang violence reaching BC.  There are roaming violent gangs in major cities across the US supported by various drug cartels from Mexico to South American.  These gangs have targeted working Mexicans and South Americans for extortion and prostitution.  All of which are funded by the drug cartels.  The US Department of Justice has been working hard to stem the flow of the problems inside the US border.  Mexico is a sovereign country and so far, it has not asked other countries for assistance, unlike Colombia - other nations can't just rush into Mexico, regardless of the intentions. 

In the Mex/Us border there is a large cartel war going ccn reported as many as hundreds have been affect by this rise in cartel war lord violence. What happened in Vancouvers drug squad B.C they clipped  the top major drug leaders and now there is a frenzy fight for there turfs. out law gangs are filling the boots that was of a very organized criminal organize. This is led to a powerstuggle form the youg lion taking over the old with very little experience but with lots of illegle cash to back them up sent fom down south. An muscle to get things done what have the drug squad done they create all out war on the streets 'kaos' it better to describe it.  I would expect to see more blood shed in the war on drugs.       

You make more money when you don't just deliver the product, but when you control distribution as well.

Since the product here is illegal, you need to enforce your territorial claims and get the deadbeats to pay you with your own  "army" of bill collectors and "border inspectors".

So, there is plenty of violence.

I believe there is a politics involved! Border's don't mean nothing, they can be paid or they're to far indeep they can't help to accept payment until it over or when ever  it comes to a crashing end first.   

I think when people refer to this (or any other) terrorist organization as a gang it minimizes the immediate opinion of what they are doing and what they are capable of. The word "gang" is so overused and so broad a term that the connotation of the word has lost it's original impact. The Oxford Dictionary defines gang as " an organized group of criminals or disorderly young people." Wow, that is really two different ends of a spectrum.

I live in Mexico and have also lived in Vancouver.. Everytime I would go to vancouver I would see drug use glorify (marijuana party plus free inyection clinics).  I thought it was easy for Canadians to consume drugs since they did not see the violence their money caused in countries like Mexico..

Now finally they are seeing first hand what consumption causes and how inocent people get killed !!!   the police force and goverment corruption will soon come...  its about time first world countries like the US and Canada see what their consumption money pays for violence in other countries.
