Gunmen robbing oil rigs and fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico was a sign of Mexico's decaying rule of law. In January attacks suddenly halted. I ask why.
Cartels operating as defacto local government, there's a whole examination to be made of just where precisely they cross the line between rogue operators and the only game in town. It seems like in some places, they do everything but issue their own currency, building roads, electrical lines, security services, etc.
Interesting piece Ioan, rich of details and your too nice pics. Its sadic as was usual for Zetas also did " and threatening local criminals including a female Colombian loan shark." !
