MOAR CARTEL VIOLENCE AFTER ARRESTS lol

Cartel arrest sparks violence in Mexico ahead of World Cup
Violence is escalating in western Mexico following a major cartel arrest, raising concerns about security as the country prepares to host the World Cup.
April 29, 2026


(CNN)- Scenes of burned-out businesses and smoke-filled streets have emerged in the state of Nayarit after authorities dealt what they describe as a significant blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Mexican officials confirmed the arrest of Audias Flores Silva, also known as “El Jardinero,” during a military operation Monday. Video released by authorities shows him being detained after emerging from a drainage ditch, with troops moving in to take him into custody. President Claudia Sheinbaum said the suspect was a key figure involved in extortion, theft and drug trafficking.

Authorities say Flores Silva was a high-ranking member of the cartel once led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, who was reportedly killed in a separate operation two months ago.

The arrest has triggered a new wave of violence, including incidents in tourist destinations like Puerto Vallarta, prompting concern both domestically and internationally. Despite the unrest, Miguel Ángel Navarro said daily life continues as normal, insisting schools, businesses and social activities remain active. Still, residents are voicing concern about rising insecurity.

In Guadalajara—one of the host cities for the upcoming World Cup—more than 90% of residents say they feel unsafe, according to a national survey.

“How is it possible that more attention is being given to the World Cup… when insecurity has increased?” one resident said.

The violence comes less than two months before Mexico is set to co-host the global tournament, bringing millions of visitors to the country.

Omar García Harfuch says authorities have been preparing for more than a year and that security protocols are in place.

The fact that the February 22 events in Puerto Vallarta made international news and that the incidents in Nayarit barely got mentioned tells a lot. Few Americans have ever heard of Nayarit. Most couldn't place it on a map. So nobody cares. But when a bunch of Americans have to hide in their hotels and can't go out to dinner for a day or two, that's a big deal. The world only cares when tourists are inconvenienced.

Mexico (with help from the U.S.) is taking steps to reign in the cartels (that's good news, btw) and the cartels are pushing back (which is to be expected). The cartels want to send a message to the government -- and just as importantly to their rival cartels -- that they're still strong. Meanwhile, Mexican citizens carry on.

Here's a dirty little secret. The solution to Mexican drug cartels lies in America. It's a demand problem. If Americans weren't buying and doing the drugs, then the Mexicans wouldn't traffic them.

Decriminalizing drugs would kill illegal trafficking, and remove the "forbidden fruit" motivation.  It'll never happen.  There is WAY too much money in trafficking...morphine and cocaine are dirt cheap when legal.

In a harsher world there is a solution to the violence that follows a cartel leaders arrest:

Government states: ' If there is a perceived rise in violence after the arrest of a cartel figure, we will assume we have the right guy, court proceeding will be suspended, and we will summarily execute him'

I will bet the city-wide violence issues stop.

No, it's not a demand problem.  If drugs were legal, Walgreens would be trafficking the drugs and your no-good cousin could buy his heroin for lawn-mowing money instead of giving blow jobs in back alleys.  The US police infrastructure to continually lose the "War on Drugs" makes just as much money as the cartels do - which is why our good boys in blue don't want this "War" to end, nor do any of the contractors that contribute equipment, intel, gaol space, etc - nor do the politicians who want to keep stealing your Civil Liberties in the name of keeping the children safe.

The cartels also made big bucks smuggling illegals.

And when CA legalized weed the cartels did well with illegal grows and the legal ones can't compete.

There is Mexico Mexico, tourist Mexico, and resort Mexico.  In our dotage, we are content with resort Mexico and memories of the other two Mexicos are enough.  We've been taking two-week annual Riviera Maya crash and chill vacations for the last few years.  Planning on continuing those yearly trips as long as we are fit enough.  The adults-only AI place we stay is NOT a hotel row, high-rise, concrete jungle.  Miles from any towns and almost an all-jungle mile from the highway.   Pick your poison, quiet or lively.  The most dangerous part of the stay would be night swims.  Saltwater crocs (small) sometimes venture into the pools.  Staff check all the pools early in the morning and remove any overnight visitors.

Last September.
