Anxiety, evasion and addiction: how Mexicans deal with endless violence
December 29, 2017

Between anxiety, addiction and evasion, Mexicans have found coping mechanisms to deal with the violence plaguing their country and which peaked in 2017 to the highest level in two decades.

The year is not yet over, but the number of murders committed in November reached 23,101, according to a government registry of violent deaths, the highest count since the tally was launched in 1997, and topping the 22,409 killed in 2011 when the big drugs cartels started to fracture.

The statistics do not show how many of the deaths were linked to narco-trafficking, but experts believe the majority were attributable to the wave of drugs-related violence that has risen incessantly since 2006, when the government launched all-out war on Mexico's powerful cartels.

Already, in sections of America, these behaviors are just as pronounced as in Mejico.  People need to take note because it will get worse with liberals clambering to let terrorists from the middle east and Mejico in the country, as governors release more felons to the streets, as judges refuse to apply the law to illegals.
