#2 Silver or lead. The gentleman picked silver. It's a tough choice when dealing with ruthless people.

Organizations like the RAB get slammed for extra-judicial shootouts at oh dark hundred, but there is value in damping down criminal gangs before they reach critical mass where they become a de facto government. See Mexico, for example.

#3 Check the GDP ranking. Notice the relative positions of Mexico and South Korea.

By 1952 most of South Korea was war ravaged, with little GDP. South Korea lacks natural resources, extensive arable land, or a large population like Mexico. Yet South Korea outranks Mexico. This is the price of utter corruption that permeates the society. There is corruption everywhere but the level of it is way in abundance and destructive for Mexico and its citizens. (and a warning to any society that tolerates it corrosive destructive impact upon itself)

#4 To be fair there could be a similar article in Mexico about James Comey and his dubious behavior.
