It isn't because they are Mexicans, numb nuts, it is because they are a ruthless, well organized drug cartel. Not a street gang, but a cold hearted bunch of folks much like La Cosa Nostra. Were I Al Qaeda, I'd watch my back working with these guys, as they are a "take no prisoners" bunch.
Those people don't screw around, unlike certain jackanapes from the Netherlands I could name.

Just thought I'd throw my two cents in, in agreement with Occhi's post. I watched that major network special (NBC was it?) last fall on them. Startlingly scary stuff for a Northeastern with no prior knowledge. To think of them as just another gang is very far from the reality of the situation.
