>I know cartels are bad, but this is like saying you'd rather have cockroaches than bedbugs. Neither is best.
Cartels are waaay more powerful and way better organized. They can be like the Hell's Angels crossed with a paramilitary force that can engage in organized firefights with the military. They do stuff like dump a pile of corpses in a downtown area and then call the news so they show up to report it and there's banner with a message on it. This is what we're talking about:

>In the hood, the worst feeling imaginable is being violated. And feelings of violation are 1000x worse if other people see it. Vulnerability is blood in the water. Once someone disrespects you, you must check them immediately or be known as a weakling.

>You disrespect someone or they disrespect you. Now someone’s gotta die or the other looks like a bitch ... Think of it like the endemic champion warfare of antiquity or the early Middle Ages.
This is basically how the Middle East operates too BTW. It's sometimes called an "honor culture." All that fighting between Bedouins and Druze in Syria last month operated on the same logic. One guy in one of the tribes got fucked up by people in the other tribe and it escalated into a war.
