#14  Finally, someone willing to take on these criminals and put an end to them. Their stupid Guy Fawkes masks should be even more amusing with a .223 hole punched in the forehead.

#13  You mean there are good guys in this war?

#12  If they are going after Los Zetas, then they are doing they same thing every other Mexican cartel is doing, including the Sinaloa and Gulf Cartels, as well as all their little sub groups and gangs.

Anonymous just chose their side in Mexico's drug war and it ain't with the good guys.

Maybe some phone calls will be placed.

#9  It's not even a Singapore-style thing - we used to have this kind of trial process for capital crimes until the early 60's. Arrest to execution used to take a couple of years stateside, too.

#8  The restoration of the death penalty in Mexico - with a Singapore-style capital offense fast track (arrest to indictment to trial to appeals to execution or acquittal in 2 years) - would solve a lot of problems. Instead of doing the right thing, the Mexican government sets up death squads, where executions are carried out without due process.

#7  Community service for black hats?

Credit where it is due. This time they are going after someone who will fight back. That takes balls.

#6  Or, y'know - not.

#5  More on this story including the Spanish language video.

We encourage anyone who is not properly protected to immediately and publicly disassociate themselves from this operation, as it is an extremely risky operation in which there is an imminent and probable loss of a great number of human lives

Sounds like they understand the danger. What they need is a Second Amendment.

#4  Thanks for the warning. Now they have had time to hire world-class experts who have no problem with trading their skills for money and pointing the cartels to whomever they find at the other end of the internet. I hope Anonymous knows how to cover their tracks properly.

#3  ..considering it gives governments 'plausible deniability' as to whom did the job let alone 'leak' names, its not a venue one should play in.

#2  I am sure they are shaking in their boots.

#1  Unlike formal governments, the cartels are under no legal or cultural restraint in the attention they will return.
