By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

80 percent of Mexicans responded that they want more soldiers in the streets maintaining public security, according to a recent poll by market research firm Buendía y Márquez and El Universal. In addition to high homicide levels and rising sentiments of insecurity, recent high profile attacks and narco blockades no doubt contributed to respondents answers to the poll, which was asked in mid August.

It is important to note that El Universal did not mention the sample size, location of respondents, or other information besides that the survey was taken between August 18, 2022 and August 23, 2022.

Military to the Rescue, But They Forgot the Rest

Comales, Tamaulipas - Well the people kept telling the government that the city of Camargo and Comales was being held hostage by the Zetas and later the Gulf cartel. Nobody seem to listen, even the politicians kept saying everything was under control. Well that was not true, someone needs to investigate some of these politicians, as they seem to be on the side of the cartels. They seem to be living in denial, and are more interested about the next election, instead of protecting their constituents.

In fact the whole town was not only infested with narcos from the Zetas but eventually also the Gulf cartel who arrived to use Comales and Camargo as a battle field. Finally with the help of internet social networks and blogs, such as Bordeland Beat, someone with some common sense decided to bring in some military reinforcement. I say some because even the military underestimated the valid claims of the people.

The people knew the narcos were still in the area and hiding out. So the military rolled in, but they just did not bring enough troops, because they needed a bigger presence as the Zetas had made the Comales region the center of their operations. In fact one of their main leaders was directing operations against the Gulf cartel right in the middle of the heart of Tamaulipas; Camargo.

It did not take long for the military to bump in to the Zetas and the outcome was not pretty. The military fell in the lair of the Zetas and rubbed shoulders with their ruler, or at least for a brief moment.

Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, aka the "Z-40", and second in command of the criminal organization the Zetas, escaped in a confrontation with the military at the Rancho Los Martinez, in the village the Comales.
