2A Justification, best I've seen yet.

I found this mini-documentary to be excellent. As weird as it sounds, I have found Al Jazeera (particularly the European version) to put out some very good work. Much better than the alphabet soup, white/Christian guilt suffering globalist "media" here in the US and in western Europe. Perhaps, this is what the gradual decay of society looks like and the Mexicans are just ahead of the "curve".

The war against these fine men is being fought with U.S welfare dollars.

Al-Jazeera America/English has always been a great source for raw un-biased news. Shame it's lost popularity due to people caring more about fake news on CNN and FNC and the drama that surrounds it. People would rather their news be a soap opera rather than......well.......news.

Excellent point !

In watching this, I could really empathize with the average citizens that had had enough and took to arms to clean things up. It was no suprise that the locals had identified the Knights Templar, the Govt and businessmen as all being "just different flavors of the same mafia".

Yep I also am on board with AJ being a good source.

Thats heartbreaking. Ive traveled a lot in Mexico and they are some fine people. I had hoped to retire a bit farther south but thats out now.

Somebody has to work with them on the finer points of DIY:

Might be better to glove the off-hand instead, too.

I know this or a similar place in Mexico was posted on the hide a few years ago regarding the same subject. Wasn't this the providence that the gov came in and said they wanted to help so they asked for the names and homes of everyone involved with the local militia fighting back?

Edit. Should have just continued to watch the documentary.

That was my takeaway from watching the video. Plus, that’s why the locals lumped the gov’t in with the Knights Templar and the “businessmen”......

Yes, there really did appear to be some good folks, didn’t there ?

I've worked in Saudi Arabia since late 2012 and, I too, was impressed with the quality of content of Al Jazeera, English when I first started watching it. It has since been blocked here because of the political squabble between Saudi and Qatar. One of the better news channels out there and seemed to me more balanced than most. Very interesting documentary.
