Mexican Drug Cartel Busted. Atlanta, etc...

Is there anyone that doesn't understand that illegal drugs power the cartels? Now, some advocate legalizing pot because of this. I have mixed feelings about pot. But I've always contended that even if pot was legalized the drug cartels would simply switch to something else. This seems to help validate my claim.

Authorities said Thursday the house was a meth lab -- one of the largest federal agents have ever seen -- used by the violent Mexican drug cartel La Familia.

"I'm shocked because this neighborhood is full of kids," said Brooke Payne, 30, who lives next door with her husband and son. "My son is 6, he runs around, across this yard to the kids who live over in the next house...It's just unreal."

Wednesday, she watched as authorities seized 174 pounds of crystal methamphetamine from the house on La Maison Drive and took La Familia members out in handcuffs.

It was part of a nationwide sweep officials called the largest single strike at Mexican drug operations in the U.S. In all, 303 people were arrested in 38 cities from Boston to Seattle.

In metro Atlanta, authorities arrested 31 people  in Gwinnett County, three in Cobb and one in Clayton while recovering a total of 188 pounds of crystal meth, 17 kilos of cocaine, 13 guns and $50,000.


Honestly, I'm surprised there wasn't a bunch of pot seized along with everything else.
