drug cartels in mexico

I think the topic of this article is very interesting. I have seen and learned about many problems with drug cartels in Mexico in my criminal justice classes.  This is a very violent and interesting subject. There are many crimes committed not just with the drugs but murders and torturing. Many people are being murdered and killed everyday leading up to numbers in the thousands therefore the mexican government declared war on the cartels. The man in the article is a photographer and describes how he must be careful while taking pictures he has to take special precautions when he takes pictures of the police officer, he also must  hide his identity and wear a ski mask. The article describes how careful and worried you have to be in Juarez Mexico."Under a blanket in the trunk is a body. Hands tied together. A bullet in the head." this quote stood out the most to me because it triggers kind of an emotional response from the reader. it always captures my interest whenever i see something about a dead body.

After i watch the video

This is my favorite picture in the video, its also the photographers favortite, he says that it tells the story  and
meaning of Juarez. How said and unsafe the town in. What this photograph is a young girl with a single tear rolling down her cheek i agree with his analysis of this photo
