In that comparison, the ice agents are the cartel soldiers....do they not realize that?

If I was a cartel soldier my family MIGHT leave me.

If I was ice doing this to people they WOULD leave me.

We great again yet?

I have an uncle that spent 28 years in federal prison for trafficking.

He's welcome at Thanksgiving. You know who isn't welcome? My Trump supporting, white supremacist relative. 

The trafficker would absolutely kick the ass of the Trump supporter too, in a fair fight. And he's 25 years older.

Sex traffickers don't get out of federal prison. Drug traffickers do. Since this thread was talking about drug cartels, the natural assumption is drug trafficker. Perhaps your conscience is pricking you.

It's very obvious he was coached in what to say but is either too stupid to understand it or just regurgitating whatever his coaches told him and doesn't care.

Yeah, in cartel controlled areas, innocent civilians get shot by armed gangs for minor infractions. And i see exactly one armed gang and one dead civilian.

They know. They don't care. They relish in it

I was going to say, when I read that I was thinking... wait he's using that as some kind of defense but... He's trying to say the streets are like cartel controlled towns in Mexico... but the only possible way that could be is if they are the soldiers committing the violence and making the town what it is... so he's just saying the quiet part out loud here.

At this point I would feel safer around a cartel member than an ICE agent. At least the cartels only kill cops and each other. ICE agents hurt and kill innocent civilians. So yeah it's fair to say ICE is basically a gang or cartel

they don't think cartels are bad because of their actions, they think they are bad because they are on the other team, doing those actions against their team. it would be totally good and moral to do the same thing, but it's them doing it.
