Possible death penalty case

He was referring to some of the major names in Mexican organized crime by their acronyms... Because they are big enough to have acronyms in the same way that IBM does.

I have noticed a strong direct correlation between people who support the war on drugs and people who know literally nothing about how it plays out on the ground. If you want to get up in arms about the mainstream media not telling you what's going on in the world I'd say a major shooting war with five figure annual body counts with major battlegrounds <50 miles from the US border would make the nightly news... but it does not.

At this point I'm pretty sure both political parties work for the beer/liquor companies. We sure do tolerate a lot of bloodshed and spend a lot of money to snuff out their competition unsuccessfully.

 

i believe cartel = organized crime of some sort, a mexican mafia of sorts, anyway. what's the latest on the driver, is it off with his head or what? seems my news feed shows up 24 hrs late

 

That old man better get holed up in a fort (or military base) quick.

Unless I've been watching way to many movies, methinks he's the true definition of "dead man walking"

I could be wrong tho...

 

What if he was set up, tailed while waiting for the percise moment to high jack his rig? What if it already happened, if he spills the beans then what? he's screwed every which way its looked at.

 

Feds >| Truck Driver | < Cartel


Yup, he's screwed either way.

 

And so the point is missed. International Business Machines took on it's market symbol to help promote it's stock, as did Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (MMM aka 3M). I don't believe the Cartels are listed on any exchange so it's hardly for the same reason.

My failure communicating the point but I was referring to the fact that younger generations have lost the ability to communicate their thoughts clearly. Anyone who has studied language knows that it is the responsibility of the speaker/writer not the reader/listener to make himself understood.

Also, just as a matter of fact, I knew full well what he was referring to I just didn't like the assumptions and stance of superiority he was taking.

 

You have a typo there bud!

 

Eh... the cartel doesn't give a #### about him. There's 0 chance he knows enough to be dangerous to them. They will assume he tells everything he knows and make necessary moves to protect/retire the assets the driver can endanger. The driver has been dealing with cutouts who were cycled back to Mexico the second they knew the driver was in custody.

From the drivers perspective he needs to get a good pay lawyer and do whatever he's told. He is absolutely going to want to tell law enforcement everything he knows, which might get him off with only a 20 year sentence instead of life without parole or the death penalty. Sucks for him, but he's the ####### who treated a bunch of human beings with less care than I'd give to a load of produce. If he gets killed in prison it will be the Cartel communicating with their other drivers what happens when you act like a cheap ####### and screw everything up.

 

or a witness protection program that doesn't exist

 

The driver is the absolute bottom of this operation.
He's told to pick up at point A
And deliver to point B.
Keep his mouth shut and don't ask any questions.
Then he gets his money.

He has absolutely no idea where these people came
From or where there going.
He's not a member of the cartel just a pawn.
