Kyle Dyer Recovering After Dog Bite On Face During Segment
Juarez, Mexico, is directly across the border from El Paso, Texas, and it's no overstatement to describe the town as one of the most violent places on Earth. In 2008 alone, over 1,400 people were gunned down on the streets of Juarez, including the Chief of Police and the Director of Prisons. Current TV's fascinating new documentary "Narco War Next Door" (featured below) investigates how competing drug gangs have turned this border town into a bullet-casing-strewn free-for-all, and how much of the responsibility lies in America's unquenchable thirst for a good buzz. Definitely worth a look. NSFW due to graphic imagery. [via Current]

Remind me to bring my flak jacket next time I go down south. I want to be able to eat from a taco stand in peace. Or at least live to tell about it afterwards.

Just one more reason to legalize marijuana. No gang violence over turf. Sell it like tobacco or alcohol. 21 and over. If they sell it and tax it they could really help the economy. Also ifpeople can get their buzz legally they might leave the hard stuff like crack and heroin alone. In my time I've tried everything that doesn't involve a needle and I prefer dope.

Wow this is incredible... I come from a Colombian family and just like my parents say what is happening to Mexico is what happened in Colombia back in the 80's when the cartels were growing.. now we are in a different decade these people are going grow even bigger, with the technology that is available today and the type of guns which are more powerful than ever Mexico is going to have tough years ahead of them to eradicate this cancer out of society. (by the way i really liked this coverage.. really informative)
