Really depressing to continue to hear about the violence on Chicago’s streets. This is recommended reading for anyone with Chicago ties, it gets at at the core of the issue: Mexican drug cartels.
I just continue to be unsatisfied with the United States, and what we place focus on. This is happening in our country, in our cities, on our streets, yet no one in power seems to be doing anything about it.
The two Mexican couriers were hauling a tractor-trailer full of cash: $3 million collected for drugs sold on the streets of Chicago. Juan Gonzalez and David Zuniga were driving their rig through Indiana in October 2011, transporting the money to Mexico. As they stopped to fix a flat tire, three members of the Gangster Disciples, Chicago’s biggest street gang, held them up at gunpoint.
