Brickbat: You're Making Us Look Bad

Mexican officials are once again criticizing Ceci Flores, who searches for the bodies of people who have disappeared and are presumed to have been kidnapped and murdered. She typically searches in areas known to be places where drug cartels dump bodies. The problem is that she is too successful in finding those bodies, undercutting the government's claims to be searching for them and its efforts to downplay the scope of violence and kidnapping in the country. After her latest find, prosecutors initially claimed she'd found dog bones before admitting she'd found human remains, but they then accused her of breaking the chain of evidence.

Come on Reason, just blame it on the orange man.

Breaking the chain of evidence? The beginning of every Mexican Law & Order a person finds a body, by the middle that person is charged with something and at the end that person bribes the Mexican cops to let him or her off.

Governments are monopolies; competition is NOT welcome, ever.

This is a point that needs to made more often. Seems that this snippet from south of the border is a perfect example.

But did their Big Guy get 10%?

Governments everywhere and everywhen are organized criminal organizations. Much of law enforcement is actually government criminal thugs engaging in war against their unofficial organized competitors. Most taxes go to fund their protection rackets instead of legitimate public sector activities. Substitute “U.S.” for “Mexico” almost anywhere in this article and you can arrive at the same take-home here. "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies?"

I guess "drug cartels dumping bodies" = Immigrants just want to work. /s
