Journalists in Mexico Fear Cartels - And Facebook

[@connorwilson8078]

Mexican journalists are the definition of true warriors, very brave and selfless people that report crimes and corruption , deadliest country on earth for them

Hahab really this station is biased and controlled secretly by US

But what are they reporting it for? Their fellow Mexicans dont give a damn. Crime and beastlike cruelty is no scandal for them, its entertainment. Their ancestors are the Aztecs who tortured humans to death just sothat the sun goes up everyday.

[@skatterpro]

No no, warriors are people following orders with intent to hurt or kill their opponents. Journalists are far more noble than any 'warrior' ever was.

[@JOSWAY787]

@@skatterpro thats a soldier. You have no idea what a warrior means. Says more about you then about the word.

[@skatterpro]

@@JOSWAY787 Are you implying warrior does not directly stem from the word "war"? From Middle English werreour, from Anglo-Norman guerreier, Old French guerroiier (“fighter, combattant”), from Medieval Latin werra, from Frankish *werru (“confusion; quarrel”), from Proto-Indo-European *wers- (“to mix up, confuse, beat, thresh”) Warrior (plural warriors) (1) A person who is actively engaged in battle, conflict or warfare; a soldier or combatant. Of course I'm aware of the figurative meaning, maybe use correct English if you're going to imply inferior understanding of the language in someone else.

Don’t get me wrong there were still cartels back then but they had at least some form of dignity as far as the cartels of this generation. By no means am I defending what they represent, but in terms of ruthless meaningless assassinations, they only did that to each other in the 90’s. These new cartel members have no souls, no respect for human life no type of code of honor. It’s so sad I may never be able to take my children to visit the places I used to visit as a child so they can see where our roots come from. Maybe one day Mexico will be at peace again, but not anytime soon I’m afraid😞

I live in Tijuana, the colony where I live is pretty peaceful, almost never experienced any violent events and I can go outside with no problems at all, 2:31 When I started working in Camino Verde during my High School years it was like stepping in another country, constantly getting news of shootings, murders and in one ocassion witnessing a freshly killed body in front of a school, and noneone seemed fazed, since it was normal for them to witness such things.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

I live in one of the states mentioned in this excellent report. A general understanding is that, in Mexico, only 1% of homicides are solved. My best wishes to all journalists in the world.

The huevos on these people during such crazy and corrupted times, the unsung heroes when it comes to civil unrest

[@PhonePhreak3z]

Thanks for the content @Vice going on a decade plus of reading/watching/listening. Love y'all.

[@sendthis9480]

This is a news story about human rights being violated and being being killed. Not exactly appropriate place for your “LOOK AT ME” comment. Beg for attention elsewhere, kiddo. You’re being EXTREMELY dismissive.

[@GuyBrushThriftnood]

Dude, thank you for presenting things in a calm, cool, objective manner. Appreciated

[@robertwest6350]

It has always saddened me that our country has never been able to pull out self out of this vicious cycle.

Finally man good documentary not no bs videos

[@PresidentialWinner]

I've said this a hundred times on these videos, i'll say it again; you are some of the best journos out there. I don't know much about journalism but your channel has some of the best of it.

Not only people from mexico get their news on facebook but also people who imigrated from mexico that live in the US they do aswell.

That’s a couple miles from San Diego. I always heard that it’s been rough lately in Baja California. However, it’s reached a peak compared to other cities in México. As someone who has family in Baja California I always feel worried because some cartels have no remorse. Men, women, or kids… They don’t care. Thanks once again VICE. You guys are the best!

[@sheldonhollis5258]

I thought cartels don't kill innocent people

[@leolion6012]

Well I’m in serious fear for this segments host because feels like everyone who questions the Mexican president is shitted on and Ultimately killed might not because he’s an American citizen

[@posh_x]

Excellent report, thanks for showing this horrible reality so that the Mexican government can be called upon to protect journalists. I am a Mexican living in Europe and I have not been able to return to my country because of how things are in the country, it pains me so much to see how things do not change with the current president who has turned out worse than all the previous ones, Mexico has become a lawless place.

[@buenosvideos3864]

VICE team, if you do a report similar to the interview with the CJNG commander, go to Tamaulipas in Reynosa, Matamoros or Nuevo Laredo There they could contact a member of the Gulf Cartel or the Northeast Cartel and the violence that literally takes place every day in that state.

[@rigolosal1066]

Vice news brilliance for covering this topic and my uttermost respect to the real Mexican journalists.

[@chrisr7692]

You guys are awesome and I truly thank all of you for doing sound, solid reporting. Mexico can be a deadly realization for reporters who report the facts. It appears to be getting worse and I don't believe it is going to get better anytime soon however, if it is going to be safe for reporters in the future, then many more reporters are going to be in the crosshairs and the results will be deaths. Even though it's getting worse, I'm hoping that it will improve in about 10-15 years. Until then, I have much respect for reporters who risk their life.

[@peppitachips1764]

[@goldenhaze6880]

[@sandiego7880]

It’s sad to see that the cartels have taken over Mexico 🇲🇽 vice thank you for always risking your life to bring us the viewers this amazing content. Keep up the great work and may god bless you all.

[@IncredibleIceCastle]

They would be powerless if drugs were decriminalized tomorrow and regulated by our failed state, the US

[@Ms666slayer]

They actually haven't, they control some areas, butn not the whole countrym the reason for that is that the goverment lets them, there's a really good podcast with an ex special forces in which he explains that of the Mexican goverment wanted to end the cartels they could, but is obvious they are getting paid to let them work, only when the cartels over step they boundaries the goverment does something, like when the CJNG recently took control of pretty much the state of Michoacan literally like in 1 month the army retake control of most of the state and righ now is returning to the old status quo of i loet you operate but don't get crazy, also when los Zetas became super big an dangerous the goverment dismatle them, so yeah the Army and teh goverment have the capacity of just end this crap but maqn the money is so good so they don't do it.

A big thanks to all the vice people every single one of them in the crew and i pray that the lord protects them at all cost. Praying for my brown love ones and the Mexican raza love you guys

Salute to Vice journalists for reporting what's going on in the battle field.

[@kryptonarie6367]

The Mexican police are the reporters of the anonymous pages?

[@RS-fi7cc]

If not responsible they provide the info and photos… most of the times our police is so corrupted that they work for the cartel. We don’t trust them at all. They are the worst of the worst.
