  1. Yeah, people, just stop using drugs. Kick that heroin habit today. People have been using intoxicating substances, regardless of their legal status, since the dawn of the time when man knew what intoxicating substances were. Most likely something like cannabis or mushrooms or like... peyote or something naturally occurring would be the first and this idea that people will ever stop is completely and totally false. What they need to do is at the very, very least DECRIMINALIZE all drugs. If not just outright make them legal. I don't think they should be easy nor impossible to get for people who want them. This will eliminate the process of spiking drugs, it will reduce if not remove the overdose and disease transmission factor, it will allow the price to normalize because right now these cartels are making billions and billions of dollars off of something that is artificially expensive because it's illegal. These drug gangs would cease to exist, or would end up moving to more traditional crimes like burglary or extortion or that sort of thing, but the drug war itself would end overnight. These gangs are still going to be incredibly rich from the money they've already made, but one way or another a lot of it will end up trickling back anyway. The bottom line point is, though, the drug war itself must end before this sort of thing will end.

  2. It's more than anything just to reinforce the underlying thing that allows all of these organized crime syndicates to actually work -- fear. Fear through violence. These Mexican Cartels make LCN aka the Mafia look like The Mouseketeers, though. They have taken it too far, in other words, but at the end of the day if your business hinges on this idea that like "You are with us or against us" it wouldn't mean anything if you didn't make a few examples a long the way. It's just sad that for these cartels like "a few" is now almost basically on par with genocidal levels. Stuff LCN would've been like "all this bloodshed it's bad for business" the cartels literally run Mexico now so they are committing all of these atrocities so far with impunity.
