That makes no sense, it's not like they were manually placing those graphics, they're using GIS software.

It makes perfect sense because the dot wouldn't look as pretty with 3/4 of it hanging in Lake Michigan. It's Benton Harbor, Michigan's most notorious drug trafficking city.

No, that doesn't make sense either, plenty of coastal areas are represented correctly. I'm not saying that the correct location isn't Benton Harbor, someone probably clicked the wrong button or they have a shitty spatial database.

According to this article, it would be KZoo after all...
"Last year, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) took up the question of whether mayhem is spilling over from Mexico's cartel war.
It examined the FBI's violent crime rates in all 230 U.S. cities where investigators say Mexican cartels have infiltrated — from Del Rio, Texas, to Liberal, Kan., to Kalamazoo, Mich. In all 230 cartel distribution hubs, CRS concluded, there has been no statistical increase in violent crime."

'Spillover' Violence From Mexico: A Trickle Or A Flood? : NPR

The U.S.-Mexico borderlands are rife with rumors of spillover violence from Mexico's savage drug war — from beheaded oilfield workers to gangs taking over Texas ranches — but authorities disagree on the actual threat.

Cartels have been in the UP for years. Cartels send a group of illegals up there to grow lots of pot in the middle of nowhere. Then they pick it up in the fall before the snow starts.

The cartels' next target: Fowlerville

I was once almost arrested in Jackson as my vehicle met the description of one used by Mexicans in an armed home invasion in Dansville.......if they're in Dansville...they're already in Fowlerville.

It seems the terrorists got there first, so the Banditos should just, like, step off:

Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area. Though with the high number of Mexican immigrants in this area, it could really be just about anywhere in SW Michigan. 99% of them are good, hard working people - unfortunately, it's the dick nuggets like the cartels that ruin it for the rest of them.

I thought due it's location between Chicago and Detroit BC/Kzoo was the most notorious drug trafficking cities?
Guess I shouldn't sound so disappointed.

Albion has been a drug trafficking hub since Prohibition when it was a stop for the Purples Gang between Detroit and Chicago.
Also, as a fellow Briton I have to inform you that his name is "Io Triumphe" not "Lo Triumphe". It's our school's official cheer.

Anybody else remember this thread from about a little over a year ago?
"Nothing to worry about as it is only pockets of localized violence and no innocent people are being killed. All together Mexico is far better off than the USA. Also what you see is what the US media is telling you. No innocent people are being killed, it is all cartel on cartel violence."
