These pictures paint a story of some sad results of the drug war. As picture number 11 states 75% of columbian cocaine passes through Mexico. It would appear that Mexico is the middle man in the selling process from columbia to The United States.

The Mexican drug trade is a serious and dangerous issue that is happening today. This project shed light on how dangerous it is. I realize that even the important officials are bribed by the drug dealers so nobody can be trusted. It is scary that the drug runs are done by young innocent people. Unfortunately, many people die if they speak up for what is right.
