Is it really that many? If so it's more than I thought were out there. If that's true it really is dangerous out there.

I guess the good news is they don't all belong to the same gang.

And the better news is, alot of thier hostility is directed toward each other.

I read somewhere that the Mexican gov. is just letting the drug gangs shoot it out with each other. It saves wear and tear on the police and taxpayer money. It might be a solution for this problem?
