Mexico has never been known as a low crime nation, but is the drug war getting worse or just getting more media attention?

This is nothing , all those hardcore Colombian assassins are training /using their crews . One fellow is known for his soup " boiling victims in acid water " . Since there is little middle class in mexico , your either homeless or rolling in cash . Police are easy to buy , drug dealers have town parties " free booze week ends " very hard to find a witness in those towns .
You should read Don Winslow, I’m sure the examples he uses are based on real life and one was of a dealer throwing a rivals two children of a viaduct to make a point…
**but is the drug war getting worse or just getting more media attention? **
The “drug war” has always been bad it’s just now getting media attention because the weapons used in the war are often from America.** **Once the media get on a story and it hits a nerve, they will run with it.
