Cartel Land Page #2
I see this as an invasion.
the situations in mexico,
specifically, it's insane down there.
The villain is the cartels,
these smugglers.
they have
And I get asked a lot
by people, why do I do this?
And my question to them is,
If not me then who?
President
obama heads to mexico tomorrow,
But while mexico's
president hopes
To show off his country's
economic successes,
The ongoing war between
violent drug traffickers
And the growing movement
of armed civilians
Threatens to overshadow
the gathering.
estanislao beltrn torres
A member of the michoacn
self-defense group says,
"dr. Mireles' whereabouts are not going
to be made public for his security."
...Who's that, tim?
Taking
matters into their own hands,
The rise of cartel
violence and homicides
Have sparked an emergence
Of well armed vigilante groups.
those guys are
deeper down in mexico.
They are in the southern
mountains of michoacan.
They're taking back
What is theirs from the cartel,
And is nice to see
that they're standing up
And going back at them.
Oh you don't know who's who,
Is it just the town's people,
or is the government involved,
Or the cartel's involved?
Even if that's true,
once they get strong enough
They'll go after
So I hope they kick
some ass down there.
It's the way it should
be done up here, too.
We just spent $400
on a new digital scanner.
The scouts are starting
to use encrypted radios,
So we got to beef up ours.
Holy crap!
I wonder if they're
now over here.
The scouts up on the mountains
Are pretty much like
air traffic control,
But I like to call them
drug traffic control
They are the eyes
for the guys on the ground.
If we can take the eyes
away from the cartels,
We can put a little dent
in what's happening.
do you copy there, spartan?
I sent a couple of
guys to loop down and around,
In case we flush
the scouts off the top.
roger here, it's over to you.
this is my third time
up this the f***ing thing,
And they get away every time.
So I've got a bone
to pick with these guys.
These motherfuckers.
Nailer, spartan.
go ahead.
Be advised.
Duke has 07 bodies
Camouflaged carpet shoes
in person.
f***!
Hola.
Sit down.
Mexican?
- who does?
- this guy, right here.
It's their coyote,
he's the guy in the front.
He's the one who
speaks the english.
He's the guide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I working in cancun.
You know where is cancun...?
- I working there and I speak english...
- Uh-huh.
Finish up, we can go.
I'll be up front
Anybody touches me, drop 'em.
Roger that.
Okay, let's go.
Tucson, this is clint
I just want to let you guys know
we need an agent for transport,
We have seven
off of guemero mountain.
Nailer to spartan...
Do you think
there are other scouts?
resupply for the scouts.
the more and more
I spend time down here
I see innocent people
becoming casualties of a war
That they didn't
want any part of,
But they are stuck
right in the middle of it.
I'm not going to close my eyes,
I'm not going
to look the other way.
he's a brave man
And the time's are difficult
here in our country,
And this guy has a...
As we say in mexico
I've always had
concerns the violence in mexico
Would make it across the border,
And it's already happening.
there's been a major
new development this morning
In the border battle.
two agents have
been shot in southern arizona,
Eight miles from the border.
we've identified
25 murders, 124 kidnappings
And extortion's
that are cartel related.
It's bad down here,
I think its going
to get a lot worse.
there's a lot more people
Waking up to what's
actually going on
And the interest in what we do
has gone up tremendously.
this right here
It's a group of people
coming together
Having the necessary
conversations
I've been doing this
for over four f***ing years
And I've been asking,
begging and dying
For f***ing people to come down.
And look you guys show up,
It took four years,
but you're here.
We had run-ins
two days in a row with scouts.
We've held them off,
so they're dying to get something through.
We're going to deploy
in four different spots
On four different hilltops.
We're going to show them
That we can watch
this whole area.
That's it, let's do it.
Down the road, on your right,
straight up that fence line.
That's where you want to be.
Try to stay off
the roads as much
As possible, use
the trees as cover.
See you in a couple of hours.
Be advised, it looks like
There's two scouts.
tell him to notify
as soon as he can confirm.
We got a confirmed visual.
Two scouts.
We got a scout right
there in those bushes,
Right there.
Copy.
just post up and sit.
Nothing will come through.
Copy that.
You know,
we're playing a game of hide and seek,
And we're just trying to
play with the best we can.
It's a victory even though you
don't grab the mules and the dope.
Just by stopping them
from bringing it over,
Is a small win in the battle.
The odds are stacked against us,
And we're sick
and fricking tired.
alcon, alcon, this is sierra 01.
indicating possible movement
Due to the storm.
Stay alert at this time.
we won't back down,
we won't give up.
We're going to keep
pushing against the cartels.
I believe what I'm
doing is good,
And I believe what I'm
standing up against is evil.
I think that
this circle of violence has to stop.
This is a big dream,
And everybody can have
beautiful dreams.
I think I was a good
vigilante for my people,
For my town,
for my michoacn state.
But I lost my motive,
Lost the family.
And the family was the motive
I... I think
it's my fault,
I think I'm responsible
for this situation.
This is life.
There's people
all around the world
Trying to make a difference.
They're all just like me.
They're tired.
They're tired of sitting,
they're tired of waiting.
They're tired of nobody
doing anything,
So they take the law
into their own hands.
The cycles do stop,
You just got to want
to change them.
let's go, rocko.
I left home because of the
physical and mental abuse by my father
But at one point he finally
got to meet my daughters.
And he complimented
me, and says,
"hey, they're great kids
they're well behaved,
They're articulate, they're intelligent,
and everything else.
And I told him
I had him to thank,
Because everything
that he did to me,
I did the exact opposite.
So the cycles can change,
It just takes somebody
to change them.
But we're stuck in a cycle
When they're spouting,
they're changing
But they're not doing anything.
They're doing the same thing,
but just with a different look.
