Informal governments are an interesting thing. It reminds me of the time I spent in a Venezuelan refugee settlement just barely inside Colombia. People told me that I was safe because violent criminals get dealt with informally (killed). Giving out small sums of money to people that look like they need it generates enough good will that people watch out for your safety.

In Mexico’s Drug Cartel Country, a Murderer Who Kills Murderers Tells His Story

First he trained and worked as an assassin for Mexico’s most powerful crime group; now he uses that training to “clean up” cartel infestations.
 
You know who it is who brings down drug lords like El Chapo and Pablo Escobar?

Citizen militias. Who would've know that auto mechanics, farmers, and teachers are a thousand times more dangerous than drug dealers, thugs and petty thieves?

Uh.... no, Pablo got greased by Columbian National Police guys.

The vigilante militias wound up becoming nothing more than another death squad.

Well don't you sound all knowledgeable.

Exhibit A: I didn't say kill, I said brought down. El Chapo is in jail, nobody killed him.

Exhibit B: The citizen militias made it impossible for these drug lords to turn a profit. No profit, no bribes. No bribes, no protection. No protection and bad things happen to these drug lords.
 
A murderer who kills murderers....

The Punisher or the Scourge of the Underworld?

They didn’t “bring him down” either. It was the courage of members of the Colombian and Mexican governments and legal professions—judges and prosecutors and the like—which did that. The militias are currently working for groups like the AUC....which, as said before, is a death squad.

Oh really? Because it was the arrest and extradition—or killing by the police—of the leaders of groups like the Medellín cartel which brought them down...not glorified death squads.

It was not a citizen militia that went door to door that night El Chapo was found looking for his cohorts. It was the Mexican police, although I don't remember which division.

That scared the hell out of a lot of my sons classmates that night.
