If you can’t beat ’em
Mexican government decides that those vigilantes taking on drug cartels aren’t such a bad thing since they are winning. Makes vigilantes legal, which makes them no longer vigilantes.

Considering how corrupt the Mexican .gov is in general, and that a big part of the problem that caused the groups to form in the first place is that the army and police are either in bed with or subjugated by the cartels, the terms of the “legalization” should be considered completely unacceptable by the vigilante groups.

Which also brings up the possibility of “Let’s tell them they’re now legal IF they give us the lists. That’ll help round them up.”
Why yes, I am rather cynical about such anymore.

Join them only if they’re winning, without regard to right and wrong? Sounds kinda like what the Mexican government has been doing for some time now.

Yup. That’s how Madero turned over the revolution to Huerta.

The thing that struck me with the news reporting is, well, I guess all of those layers of editorial oversight would just go into uncontrollable convulsing seizures if they called such groups both “effective” and also a “milita” at the same time.
