Here's how you do it - Mexico dealing with drug cartels
From
ABC News/Associated Press:
Mexico Legalizes Vigilantes, Nabs Cartel Leader
Mexico essentially legalized the country's growing "self-defense" groups Monday, while also announcing that security forces had captured one of the four top leaders of the Knights Templar drug cartel, which the vigilante groups have been fighting for the last year.
The government said it had reached an agreement with vigilante leaders to incorporate the armed civilian groups into old and largely forgotten quasi-military units called the Rural Defense Corps. Vigilante groups estimate their numbers at 20,000 men under arms.
Makes a lot of sense -- this is an organization that already has infrastructure and chain of command, the Mexican government just needs to modernize it and bring it back online.
