A community of farmers in Mexico takes on a cartel.
The cartel had body armor and assault rifles; the farmers, shotguns and machetes. The government turned its back on them and left them at the cartel’s mercy.
Because they stood together as men of honor, though outgunned they slaughtered their enemies — and fed their families.

I hope they have allies when the cartel comes back.
*Raises a glass toward the south* To men of honor.
I wonder if neighbors might join in, next time the cartel comes to call. Or if there will be advanced surprises waiting? One hopes.

If this were America there would be academics sniffing around trying to show how racist and evil these merely decent people are. Because I imagine there are things here and there that some of them have done in the past which we would not support. Yet it is not those "things done wrong" which would be the Real Point. It would be the glorious opportunity to virtue signal that drew the academics, who disapprove of "vigilante" justice even against warlords.

AVI, I agree that they would wash their hands of this conflict “straight outta Mexico,” but that they would also do so in the US, as long as “oppressors” are not involved. There is a tendency among our friends to the left to apply different rules to members of “oppressed” groups than are applied to “oppressor” groups. Thus the silence among many on the left about what Hamas has done, because Hamas is “oppressed,” and the Israelis are “oppressors.”
Similarly, when there is conflict between “oppressed” groups, or conflict within an “oppressed” group, the “liberati” (takeoff on literati) take a pass. Don’t want to impose their views on a “multicultural” situation.
Compton in the LA area has changed in the last 40 years from predominantly black to predominantly Hispanic, with about a 50% change from each group. In the transition, there was conflict- many murders- between Black and Hispanic gangs. As far as I can tell, there was not much discussion among the “liberati” about the violence and mutual disparagement between these two minority groups.
AVI and I would both predict that the “liberati” would stay out of the farmer-cartel conflicts in Mexico.” Vigilantes” can only be "oppressor" white, the “liberati” would say.
Gringo, I am reposting a few entries from every month of my blog, and you are in the comments of a few back then.
And hopefully the farmers have some body armor and assault rifles now.

You switched to Google, and that was that. For several years, I had a G-mail account without having supplied a phone # to Google, but Google has shut off the no-phone # approach. So now I read but do not comment.
