How can the cartels and MS13 be so brutal ?

[ironglow]

  That question is being asked more often these days..and answers are coming to the world's attention.

  Beelzebub is getting stronger, and his minions are also gaining strength. Some of the lower economic scale Mexicans seem to have adopted a rising "religion'.., but cartels and MS13, seem to have embraced this same cult that apparently worships murder and mayhem.
   Don't be confused however, though it seems to have RC trappings, the RC Church had rejected any connection.

   Remember...often when one turns away from the real God, they turn to any of a number of false gods, that are offered by the old liar.

This statement found inn the second article..
   " Santa Muerte is particularly popular among the most marginalised sectors of society, including migrants and the LGBT community"

   ..Starts one to wondering if there is a connection to recent events.

Most Americans will never see
or hear of the atrocities that the
cartels heap on their victims.
Many haven't done anything against
a cartel, they're just handy victims
to make an example of.
One of the most popular things
for them that I'm aware of is to
thread a victim in a stack of car
tires and set it afire and let the
victim cook inside. That, or
slowly hacking a victim to small
chunks with a machete. They
often use that as a test for new
cartel members to see how ruthless
they can be and to see if they will
follow orders without question.
They also use that as a test for
law enforcement infiltrators
