Anonymous Cancels Drug-Ring Attack
snydeq writes "Anonymous supporters have backed off threats to expose Zeta drug gang collaborators, an operation launched in early October as a retaliation for an alleged kidnapping of an Anonymous follower by the Mexico-based drug gang. Members of Anonymous had posted a video claiming the group could identify journalists, police officers, and taxi drivers who collaborate with the Zeta crime syndicate. Zeta has not shied away from targeting its online critics. In September the crime group hung two people from an overpass warning bloggers and 'online snitches' to beware. The decapitated body of another social-media reporter was found later with a similar warning. Worried about the impact on both misidentified people and Anonymous followers, other supporters of the Anonymous movement worked to dismantle the operation over the weekend. In effect, the group canceled the attack, according to online news site Milenio."
The FBI will not come to one's house; rape and kill one's wife, girlfriend, mother, daughters, and/or sisters while making one watch; and then torture one to death, cut off one's head and leave it in one's lap for the police.
No instead they will come to one's house; rape and kill one's wife, girlfriend, mother, daughters, and/or sisters while making one watch; and then torture one to death, Then frame you for the rape and killing of your family and have the world think you committed suicide over your horrible crime.
...and if they did...and if they couldnt cover it up completely.... heads would totally um... be suspended with pay until it all blew over
In any case, so.. because you have some counter examples on the extreme the whole comparison is out the window?
Thus are thugs. Yes they operate by different codes and by different specific means but rule through intimidation and violence s thuggery any way you slice it.
the main difference is the cartels are not run by people who hold mock elections to maintain their veneer of legitimacy
