A massive march of armed Mexican militants. This is spreading throughout the country at a pretty fast rate.
Mexican people tired of the cartel kidnapping and robbing decided to take up arms and set up check points looking for drug cartel members and even stopping corrupted police officers even though it's illegal to own a firearm in Mexico. The people are tired of the police not doing anything about the problem and decided to fix the problem on their own.

As an aside, if the spooks think surveillance will stop this, they need to ask the USSR and E. Germany about that, they need to do more "intelligence" work.
You need an army that will shoot your own citizens like dogs in the street, and they better be good at it too, and VERY loyal.

I don't think Mexicans are about to start an armed rebellion. They may be unhappy about crime but people tend to swing as their wallets go. And it seems their economy is growing plus they do have a democracy and everything. So I'll expect the government to be a bit more thorough fighting crime. But USA really needs to legalize pot to make this fight a bit easier.
