Good people live in places with corruption all the time. The guy was involved with drugs and he got shot. Aside from the digging up of the corpse same thing happens here. The corpse thing is a trip ... but Ive said it before, it only takes a moment to realize you are not in America anymore. It got really bad in Florida when I was a kid too with the cartels runnings drugs up 95 and all the money people could suddenly make. America can get violent but we have better legal system and cops. The difference also is we visit Mexico a lot and are moving there. We were not doing that with Cuba and Columbia. It was about keeping thhem (their bad guys) out of our country instead of how we would do in theirs.
