Rompiendo mal

You don't have to look too hard around Portland to notice that somebody's making a lot of money selling hard drugs around here. And where are the cops? Nowhere to be seen, usually.

Here's an alarming blog post, and here an accompanying Twitter thread, explaining what appears to be happening. The Sinaloa drug cartel from Mexico is taking over the entire industry, from manufacture to street sale. We've all seen on the news how in Mexico, drug beefs are settled with murder by gun. That's apparently starting to happen north of the border now, starting with the Central Valley in California.

For a city and state as lazy and incompetent as Portland and Oregon, it's a frightening prospect. Up against major organized crime, we are sitting ducks.
