In Mexico they are seen as the low of the low, along with kidnappers. They are vile. I can't imagine the terror they bring to the families of kidnappers and extortionist victims. It's good Mexico is somewhat tackling this issue in some main cities. I think Monterrey, where thay are somehwhat not tolerant of cartels should put pressure on criminals that act in violence and stop kidnappers and extortionists and bring down their leaders etc.
