About this listen

 [Contains sensitive content] To this day dozens of people are dead or missing, and the remains of buildings burned and demolished still dot the small town of Allende. And yet, Mexican authorities seem intent on leaving questions unanswered. The series closes with victims’ families detailing their struggle to untangle what really happened, and the DEA shares an official statement of their role in the tragedy.©2018 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2018 Audible Originals, LLC

Drug dealers know what they are about. People working for them know what they are about. But what about their families? What about a seven months old child???

Brutal reality

So often the headlines around drug cartels and the death they so indiscriminately pour upon ordinary people is centred around the 'big names'. this podcast highlighted the people affected and left behind - with a box. It also highlights how frighteningly easy it is for a community to become victim to these ruthless individuals/groups

This podcast was done beautifully and it only angered me more that America fails to see why the people of Mexico, my people, risk anything to cross the border. America is the “greatest country in the world” but at the price of the safety and well-being of the families in their indigenous homelands. As usual the American government has no accountability for their own treachery. I urge Ginger Thompson to continue researching and reporting. Thank you for your amazing work on this.

One of many tales America refuses to acknowledge.

This is such a crazy story…worth a listen..I can’t imagine the horror those innocent people went through..my heart goes out to the families that lived this…I can’t fathom how evil people can be.

Crazy Story

This is the first tiime i've even heard of the town of Allende or the town with an estimated 200 dead in a single night. I thought knew how deadly it had become in Mecico. Entire famiies killed as punishment for a family member who was percieved to ave something against the cartels. I had thought those stories, photos i had seen, all those women in Juarez; none of it prepared me for this. Our government's war on drugs has been an unmitigated disaster from the beginning. This story is draws a direct link from continued flawed decision making on this side, of the border, and immense capacity for butality of the cartels on the other. Mexico is descending into darkness and America just continues to plow through instead of trying something different here. The investigative reporting was beyond brave. The acting/reading of the actors and actresses was amazing. They conveyed the obviously still shell shocked emotional wreckagee in a way that was haunting. Excellent from beginning to end but be warned. This will leave u you with a profound empy feeling, which is just a watery reflextion of the holes left by the warehouse and the dead. holes left by the people.

Excellent, Authentic. Absolutely Devastating .

I feel like it all led up to trying to blame the DEA for all the people getting killed. That would be like trying to blame someone for an accident that killed someone. They couldn’t see into the future. There was no way for anyone to know that a couple of psychopaths wouldn’t go on a killing spree. The storytelling was average at best.

What’s the point?
