Anonymous Squares Off Against a Mexican Drug Cartel

  • All the points about non-local members of anonymous are moot. It is the Mexican members that are saying they don't want to provoke the cartel.

    As for red buttoning and running, that would be a great option if you had the feasible option of dropping everything, moving to a different country, getting a job there, and making a living. Oh, and if you have a dependent family, they have to be able to come too. Not so easy for most people. It's a hell of a lot more palatable to say "oh yeah, my bad - we're not actually going to try to fuck you, so please don't kill us."
  • Or the cartels would engage in open warfare against the now-outed operatives and everyone they can find attached to them, further endangering the lives of civilians.

    It's a no-win situation. The cartels are effectively an army, and they have no rules of engagement and no accountability. Unscrupulous jackholes armed to the teeth ruling a terrified populace.

    At this point, though, I think anything that makes some kind of difference is worth trying.
    Yes but if they do that they risk the civilians around them getting fed up with their antics and actually fighting back. You can't kill everyone, there isn't enough time or bullets for that.
    The cartels openly murder people in the streets. If the populace was going to fight back, they would've done it already.

    If that data leaks, not only will these men be hunted forever once their identities are discovered, but their entire fucking families will be butchered.

    Seriously, this isn't fucking Scientology, or a judge whipping his kid, or a ring of internet-based degenerates. This is a private army of conscienceless serial killers with nearly unlimited funds and eyes everywhere. It'd be lunacy to trifle with them if you aren't a basement-dweller with no loved ones in the entire country.

    They're not serial killers. They're just regular killers.

  • You're right. "Mass murderers" would be more appropriate.

    Solution: wipe them all out in one fell swoop. It's the only way!

    Nukes. The only solution.
  • So PC Mag is reporting that the Cartel let the hostage go, who knows what's going to happen to those who threatened the action however.

    That could be good or very bad.
