The drug gangsters of Mexico better watch their asses, for a whole bunch of fed-up Paul Kerseys are gunning for them now!This is what happens when the state apparatus fails to enforce law and order and protect the People.
Shadowy vigilante groups are threatening Mexico’s drug gangs near the U.S. border in retaliation for a wave of murders and kidnappings that killed 1,600 people in this city alone last year.
One group in the border city of Ciudad Juarez pledged last week to “clean our city of these criminals” and said their mission was to “end the life of a criminal every 24 hours.”
The emergence of vigilantes would be a new twist to a vicious drug war that killed 5,700 people in Mexico last year and forced the United States to give hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Mexican government.

In an e-mail to news organizations, the “Juarez Citizen Command” said it was funded by local businessmen sick of abductions and extortion in the city, home to factories that export goods to the United States.
My advice to the Mexican state apparatus: Don't go after the vigilantes if you haven't really been going after the bad guys in the first place. If you suddenly have a yearning to uphold the law, then go after the bad guys, not the good guys going after them 'cause you wouldn't!
