Bribes or Death in Mexico: "Silver or Lead"

Byron Pitts reports on the murder of the mayor of a Mexican city, where powerful drug gangs seem to be giving authorities a choice of "silver or lead" - join us and we will pay you or don't and we'll kill you.

    I think the mayor was originally working for the gulf cartel but when the zetas split from the gulf cartel they took over Santiago and murdered him and assigned a mayor they trusted

    This is all about supply and demand. Stop the demand for drugs in the United States and you will no longer have a supply. Stop the shipment of Arms and ammunition to Mexico and the killings will be reduced. I guess that must be very hard to do, considering the large use of drugs in the United States.

    If this mayor only has a president of the country supporting him, he will not be dead. The same president the Philippines is having right now. If this cartels are in the Philippines, it will be an opposite story.

    Sorry, i guess i put it wrong. What they did was, when people fell behind on their taxes, they would eventually come up with the money and the lots no longer existed, deed were changed. They would also go around changing fences, so people couldnt recognized the land that they owned..... they were crooks, the people that they robbed, their kids joined the cartels and pointed them out. It was more like vengeance.....

    silver or lead was a Pablo Escobar phrase and although plata is silver in English the word plata is use in Spanish to express money the correct translation should be money or lead COPY FROM GOOGLE : Meaning of "plata o plomo" This phrase, allegedly Escobar's policy, refers to the two options he gave to law enforcement officers and government judges: To either take a bribe (plata = money) or to take a bullet (plomo = lead).
