The town mayor was lynched alive, his neck caught in a rope and hung from a streetlight.
Only after all the drug traffickers had left did the braver residents come out, and upon seeing the mayor's body they all hung their heads and wept.
The old mayor had always been good to them, helping anyone in trouble, even washing cars to help support families.
He would give money to sponsor orphans and elderly relatives of those killed by drug traffickers.
In the local community, his reputation was always good.
But reputation... doesn't match the caliber of a gun!
When the drug traffickers were around, the people didn't dare to rebel, but as soon as they left, they ran out to collect the mayor's body.
The small town had lost the person who loved it the most.

"Isn't it just about managing drug traffickers? It's quite simple," Victor said as he stood on a solid rock, pointing at the mine ahead and speaking to Cuauhtémoc, "You just don't have to treat them as human!"
