Unfortunate life choice by the "high basketball coach".

Had no idea cartels operated in NC.  Damn.  That's one more state off my retirement list.

Lol.   You're not going to be able to retire anywhere then.

They operate everywhere. Often, the high ups in cartels, and any other international criminal organization live in the U.S.

Their reach is global, I'm not sure where you could live to avoid that.

The cartel that took control after El Chapos arrest is different than any before. The way they not only control Jalisco (and the one highway that goes north) but continue to expand and take over other areas is pretty scary actually. Their lust for control knows no bounds they even went after avocado farmers to get a piece of that pie. Drugs go north to feed America's insatiable habits, guns and cash go south so they can wage wars and it will only get worse. I don't know what the answer is but I can't think of a bigger waste of money other than NASA that has had billions of dollars poured in to it than the war on drugs.
