Truth or BS ?

There needs to be retenes (checkpoints by the Mexican federal navy) all over the place and also on the highway. That should slow down these shootings. The local people here know who are the narcos -- they grew up here.

While I agree retenes would help, I disagree that the people here know who the narcos are. These are punks from other territories, looking to fill the void left by the recent arrest of a local capo. The "war on drugs" is an ideal war for certain interests because it never ends. Cut off one head and 5 more ruthless heads appear in its place. There is simply too much money involved.
