One small community has felt the brunt of the fight in the past two months.

#Mexico #CartelViolence #Zacatecas
My family is from Zacatecas, close to that small town. My parents and I were just talking about this, it’s scary out there right now.
Zacatecas is middle of nowhere. Perfect spot for cartels
@@teodorodal6201lol true. My family is from there but it’s mostly very small towns spread across the state. The main city is nice though. It’s just sad it got this way.
I’m devastated, this was my family’s home state, I was hoping to see it one day, now I probably won’t.
Zacatecas is beautiful! If you can go and visit!!!
I'm going tommorow to Zacatecas
I been here for 2 weeks along with a lot of American tourists. Not one lick of violence. Zacatecas is one of the biggest states in Mexico. They r a few cities its not recommended to go 2 in Zacatecas, but its not the whole state
Don’t listen to the people replying to you , if you can reconsider going to Zacatecas there has been a recent kidnapping , and murder spike for the last few months
@@anthonyahgue17 not at the moment though
Zacatecas is my happy place😔
Was
That state is in the middle of northern Mexico, bordering with several cartel territories.
We Americans love so much the illegal hard drugs.
Que tristeza, soy de Zacatecas y en lugar de ser conocida por su arquitectura barroca, la conocen por la delincuencia 😔😔😔😔
Y hoy en dia como sigue zacatecas
Si por la violencia pero los de zacatecas Como tu no son Los que lo estan causando son Los que salen corriendo de su estado en ves de levantarse en armas Como los hombres y defender su estado
My parents live in this state horrible place I lived there for a year different world it’s so sad.
What happen
Very sad to see what's happened to my ancestors and our home land... Richest in silver in the world and suffering so poorly..
One time in my hometown not too long ago everyone including my family had to stay quarantined at home because the narcos there said they were going to shoot the whole place up. Stayed home for around half a week. Nueva Generación from Jalisco is invading Zacatecas now because of Sinaloa’s cartels.
Arm yourselves!
CIA, DEA and MOSSAD
ok wumao
whatever
Why would Mossad be in Mexico
@@AtlanteanTrapStar mossad trains cartel members in advanced warfare for money
@@AtlanteanTrapStarto train them
I used to live 20 min away from this community. And all the communities around it are now dominated by the carteles. People’s been displaced from their homes. Things are worse then ever now.
I'm one of those, those drug cartels stole my truck on 15th December, they knocked my door at 1:30 a.m.
Those bastards are in my town right now, it's called SAN PASCUAL, TEPETONGO. Government knows it but do not care.
EVIL dweller's on this 🌎
To all Latino people living here in the US, learn from the people of Mexico and other fail states. Do not give up your 2nd Amendment Rights. Do not vote to eliminate guns in this country. No hagan caso al Democrata. Son mentirosos. Mis vis abuelos son de Zacatecas, Zac.
That's right bro!!!
@@191601916 guns are the reason people are dying we don’t need rights for 2nd we need to take down cartels
@@JR_1400 Ha and how are you gonna do that? With abrazos y besos??
Nobody is voting for that dipshit lol Republicans are better? 🤧😂
that will never happen bro we love guns nd we protect our family nd ourself
the dead penalty has to come back for all those evil murderers, drug dealers, gangs, cartels, raping, woman abusers, child molesters, dictators, all worthless garbage.
Being from the area yes the level of violence in unprecedented especial with people being how poor they are
I remember that former President Trump wanted to help, but Amlo declined the offer. It's a beautiful state, and it's a unique colonial city. Nonetheless, the mess has gone out of control. Many people visit the state that comes from the US and other parts of Mexico. Although, the violence doesn't permit folks to feel safe while traveling. Even the people who reside in that state live with fear.
To help? They are part of problem
And just what was the U.S. going to do? Invade and occupy? If they wanted to help, they’d could legalize, tax, and regulate drugs. The cartels would be out of business in no time.
Trump snorts cocaine with Stormy Daniels
@@BigBBQJones you rather have Mexican fanatics running around chopping limbs off
The US is the one that sells the guns and is in bed with the drug traffickers
The biggest reason the cartels are active in most of Latin America thanks to the United States. The cartels are powered, funded, backed, and trained by them.

@@hydrobyte4844 ohh thanks for explaining
They should contact Russia and ask for assistance.
That won't happen, because Mexico depends on it's infamous northern neighbor for a whole host of things an that infamous northern neighbor has deep tentacles in the Mexican elite.
We all know that Mexico's infamous northern neighbor carried out coup-attempts and supported brutal juntas to keep the Soviet Union out of Central and South America during the cold war, and they succeeded in that goal in all but one country (i.e. Cuba)
Even if they get a whiff that such a proposal is being debated in Mexico City, you can expect them to overthrow AMLO and his government.
No pues si no vendrían los otros narcotraficantes es algo que no entienden defienden territorio para no ser invadido :)
Yeah America would never let that happen, they're too busy exploiting Mexico.
no foreign force would ever go to mexico and take on these cartels just "to help" they know what time it is. do u realize how well armed these cartels are? think of the amount of drug money that goes into mexico every day. its just not worth it for any country to send armed help
No, they need to end the drug war and legalize all of it. This would drive the cartels out of business.
My birth place. One day things will be back to normal hope it’s before I die so I can go visit
Im supposed to be going to Zacatecas in two weeks 🥴
as long as you mind your business your good only if you look you find and if you see things you never saw it remember that !
Don’t worry bro I’m here right now Just mind your own business…don’t talk about gang, drugs or guns at all….if you end up talking to a person that is connected to the cartels keep it short talk and respect them
Let's go BRANDON
What does this even mean?
@@JesusChristTheOne "FVCK JOE BIDEN" a crowd was chanting that & a reporter said they're chanting "Let's go Brandon" She tried censoring what the crowd was really saying so now ppl yell "Let's go Brandon" instead of F Joe Biden
@@JesusChristTheOne Jesus Cristo, it translates to Vamos Brandon! In essence, Brandon, vete a la verga!
I am sure, if there were commodities to be had, the US would be down there in a split second, to help fight for what's rightfully not ours lol
There is but the U.S is Mexico's little brother who stole all its glory. Mexico is the first country founded in all the Americas and even when Mexico fought off the French imperial Army, which was headed to take over a weakened U.S from its revolutionary wars, The U.S later back stabbed Mexico and changed history forever.
They r rich in Silcer and Gold. There economy is huge n France comes out here to rent land n work to find the silver/gold. The problem is too much greed n corruption
For context:-
It is ultimately a country's own government which has to take responsibility for law and order.
In Mexico, it is the Mexican state at fault, and certainly not the fault of Mexico's infamous northern neighbor.
Mexicans and their state have to own up to their own responsibilities, and not shift blame north.
If weapons are flowing from the north to Mexico, what're Mexican authorities doing about it.
Similarly, if cocaine is moving from Mexico towards north, what're the "northern neighbor's" security forces doing about it?
The US is definitely at fault. We’ve been messing with their government and economics since founding.
It’s a bodies responsibility to stay alive, if Ayush shoots somebody, certainly it’s not Ayush’s responsibility if they die…. By your logic… 🤦♂️
@@It-b-Blair
In my humble view, the pretext of your example is grossly incorrect for a number of reasons:-
1. Mexico has always been friendly to the United States. It doesn't make sense for America to wage war or attack Mexico.
2. Mexican politicians and officials have indulged in well known corrupt practices, colluding with cartels, helping and even being cocaine-smugglers, or at least willing to look the other way when the cartels do their business.
So, it isn't like Ayush (that's my real name 😂) is shooting the victim, but more like the victim is shooting himself/herself with a gun brought from a shop in my neighborhood, while smuggling cocaine to junkies in my neighborhood. 😅
@@ayushacharya972 Mexico has always been friendly to the US? Ever heard about the Mexican-American war? Ever wonder where California and Texas came from? I agree with the other commentator-the US is part of the problem and thus needs to be part of the solution.
@@wyattwarner2457 Russia is not your friend comrade.

You do know that that war was started by the US because they wanted California, what was Mexico supposed to do.. not defend it?

Have a friend who's family members were tied up and tortured and killed 2 months ago.
What areas of Zacatecas are not dangerous for tourism? Parque Nacional Sierra de Organos seems like a great place to visit.
Zacatecas city is very safe n big on tourist year round

Avoid Zacatecas! You should rather go to Tamaulipas - It has beautiful roads, nice landscape and some beautiful cities such as Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa (very safe), Matamoros, Ciudad Victoria and Tampico.
@@suyashmanjrekar6716 Tamaulipas is even worst than Zacatecas
@@valente7436 I know, I was kidding. Tamaulipas is one of the least safest place on earth lol
Need to start boycotting mexico and celebrities or people with power to speak out against this. Mexican soccer team never speaks out and denounce this bs. Just let us go in and blast everything away
What a pity! It looks like such a laidback place for people to live!
bloods and crips think they hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Hitler wouldn't approve of this
Used to go every year to see family. But they advised me not to anymore so haven't gone since 2006
The people need guns
I got friends there at that place played baseball there didn’t know it was that bad haven’t been there in 8 years
Omg! This is the state my family comes from!! This needs to be cleaned up!
Ita a shame that a "drug epidemic" in the IU us causing a lot of these issues
Lmao what Pueblo did they go too, they should visit zacates centro, the silver mine town, that’s my favorite city I’ve seen so far in Mexico. You’ll find more classy people there.
Exactly
It was about time they started going north. The south of Mexico was getting all the action. It’s sad!
The north of Mexico been bad looks like u haven’t been to Tamaulipas
@@tyhernandez3069 nobody glorying this stuff I have family who live in violence so u probably the one glorifying this stuff
@@tyhernandez3069 I am actually lol. I’m not glorifying anything I’m saying it was about time they started going up north. The south aka Michoacán/Guerrero have been going through what Zacatecas is now going through.
@@JR_1400 I know it has but you can compare it to how the south is, you should visit the south.
@@tyhernandez3069 you’re assuming.. no where in my comment did I say I was excited about them going up north.

Where's American hobby of nation building when you need it.
HUH, we keep feed and sending money for the poor all over the world, and where does it goes? In the pockets of dictators, corruption, corruption and stupid America is not watching where our money is going. Americans are dying for the freedom of other countries, not for our country. And that is the truth.

Lo malo que pasa en los pueblos y pequenas comunidades. No tanto en la capital Zacatecana.
No es exageración. Comunidades enteras han tenido que salir huyendo por la inseguridad.

these people are the victims, not the perpetrators. how can you be so heartless??
"Lovely, this is the kind of culture they want to bring here"
It is the other way around. Those cartels are operating there because there is a market for drugs, in fact the biggest market for legal and ilegal drugs, which is:.. can you guess?. As long as there is a market, there will be suppliers, Capitalism 101.
War is part of american culture you plank. War is America's #1 export.

While I am aware of bots and agendas, I wanted to comment so people would wonder the why? the reason of those cartels and to reflect on the consequences of it and most importantly the victims. Which this video shows part of it.
