What happens when people try to help the police with the war on drugs? They get punished, down in Mexico people that post things on the internet about drug deals or violence are being killed. The cartels are trying to put fear into people that open their mouths on the internet. This seems that citizens in Mexico are trying to do the right thing, but its bad for the drug business, so somebody must pay. In this case it would be the hanging of people and giving the message of "DON'T MESS WITH US OR THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU." The fact is that people are messing with the crime business.

People put their opinions out there and get punished. The cartels find out who are the people, so what do users do, take away all personal information about them. Even though the thought of being killed for posting images or talk about violence, people still are willing to risk their lives. It is almost like a civil duty that people are doing. The cartels in Mexico wants to put fear in people but there are still posts about drugs and violence. Maybe not everybody would do it, but at least we know that some people are showing what is happening in this brutal world we live in.
