The UN Doesn't Get It, Either...

Navi Pillay

Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, seems not to fully comprehend that the Gulf Cartel (and other cartels) don't give two hoots and a holler for her opinion.  She is concerned over "the high level of violence" in Mexico engendered by the narco-traffickers.

Mexico's response has been to mobilize the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) and the Mexican Marine Corps to attempt to combat the seemingly endless instances of violence South of what that country calls the Rio Bravo.

The Marines and the SSP, it seems, are almost alone in their quest to put an end to the decapitations and other murders.  At least twenty persons were capped last week at a Monterrey night club.  Local law enforcement appears to be as powerless as the Mexican feds to halt any of it.

The fly-ridden nation of Mexico is one, huge, victim disarmament zone.  No one - except the lawmen and the military - is allowed to own any kind of significant weaponry.  If Ms. Pillay were really serious about Mexican violence and the Cartels' depredation of human rights, maybe she should suggest that Mexico's congress enact something similar to our Second Amendment.  It is more than likely that none of the twenty persons killed in Monterrey had personal protection weapons on them (or within reasonable access).

The violence in Mexico will continue.
