Drug Violence makes Ciudad Juarez most violent

Ciudad Juarez has had almost 2000 homicides — almost all brutal executions — through mid-October this year, up from 1,171 for the same period in 2008. There have been 195 murders in the first half of this month alone. The killings, averaging seven a day in the city of 1.5 million, can be blamed on an escalating drug war between the Sinaloa cartel run by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the most-wanted man in Mexico, and the Juarez Cartel. The cartels are fighting to control the lucrative smuggling route between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, just across the border in Texas. While Ciudad Juarez is clearly the most violent city in Mexico, cartel battles continue to take lives throughout the country.

@krazytown3 What is happening in Mexico is real bad, I got family over there, but to compare this Drug War to a real War is kind of stupid. Not calling you stupid, but your comment kind of was.

IEL PRINCIPAL FACTOR DE LA VIOLENCIA EN Mexico, NO SON LAS DROGAS NI EL NARCOTRAFICO EN SI, TODO ESTO ES FRUTO DE LA CORRUPCION POLITICA,

Mexico ESTA GOVERNADO POR UNA BANDA DE PILLOS, EL SISTEMA POLITICO Mexicano ES ESCANDALOSAMENTE CORRUPTO, Y TODOS LOS Mexicanos lo savemos

EN Mexico NO EXISTE EL DERECHO, TODOS LOS PRECIDENTES AL FINAL DE SU TERMINO SON MULTIMILLONARIOS Y TODO MUNDO LO SAVE

@jpzkilla It was actually over 2650 murders in 2009 overall in Juarez and some like 296 people missing, the last 2 months were brutal in Juarez.. In the the first 2 months of 2010 there were over 900 murders in Juarez.

@krazytown3

what are you talking about worse than Iraq, 1,3million civilians have died in Iraq how many have in Mexico. Have you been their???

In Mexico you can go to the beach, shop, hang out with friends, etc. Try that in Iraq

Criminal insurgency controls the streets and daily bombings is going on. My best friends oncel were beheaded and mutilated and dumped in the road side just because he didnt coloborate with them. thats daily things in Iraq.
