North Mexico attack: Three women, six children killed in ambush

[rgp]

Mexico:

The cults of personality:
We lack facts, hard data, we don't know
We have opinions, we have gossip-we are curious because these people are so far outside our experiences.

I went back on net, reading Koresh, and the lone wolf personalities: McVeigh
and Kaczmski-were never going to know what motivates these people.

Mexico, there is little proof of a religious sect's or cult's involvement with a drug cartel-so far. (It smells like it, feels like it, and it probably true, but no actual proof-yet)

It certainly appears to be, the history, the peculiar traits of the sect, the previous involvement with drug cartel; I believe it to be drug related.
Yet, I have little or no proof.

Regarding all sects, cults, peculiar people?
My curiosity lays within those that follow a (apparently) charismatic leader.
That is what makes my mind whirl, why do you follow a person (and persons)
that have you doing things you know to be wrong?

Again, we don't know what occurred in Mexico, we think we do, but we have
no proof. That is not going to stop us from posting.

No doubt, I will return later and post my opinion

"My curiosity lays within those that follow a (apparently) charismatic leader.

IMO, it is due to them being of such weak mind, they just cannot (find their own way)...as such they are easily led. And in that case both the "leader" and follower are truly dangerous people. It is the staple of many religious organizations/churches.

There was an article in today's paper about the massacre. It's still largely a mystery, or maybe they just don't want to say. But one speculation is that the Mormon community got caught in a murderous drug war between two cartels. They lived near one of the cartels, which acted as a sort of police force, sometimes protecting them. In other words, they had a neighborly arrangement.

The problem was, their compound was directly off an unpatrolled dirt road leading directly to the US border, a gem in the eyes of drug traffickers. The two cartels may have been fighting over access to that road. They may have misunderstood who was in the vehicles. The article said the Mexican government is doing basically nothing to try to contain or end cartel violence.
