This thread has gone farther than a drug war, it is about what has sparked since the disappearance of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa on September 26th, 2014.
Mexico will never be the same. The norm has usually been something happens, and then it is over shadowed by some frivolous event, or people just forget and settle back into their lives until the next violent event happens. Let's hope we are watching history being made, this was really the straw that broke the camels back, people are done with the "In your face" corruption of the government and the impunity of it's elected leaders.
If things continue this way, something big is brewing, no doubt.

War on drugs isn't working at all. Consumers still want the product and are still getting it, no matter how much money and gun power is dedicated to prevent drug trafficking.
I think it's time to try new things, what's been done so far isn't working and it's killing people.

A run through some of the massacres Mexico has gotten away with. Quite horrifying.
YouTube video description:
"The straw that broke the camels back . We are not afraid anymore."
"Tlatelolco, June 10, Aguas Blancas, Acteal, Atenco, Nursery ABC Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa; An accumulation of violence, murders and disappearances, have raised the anger that flows through the veins of the hurting mothers, siblings and friends who have lost their partners, their children. The most affected are no longer afraid."
