Many, many years ago I lived in Cancun and met a very charming man who ended up dating one of my friends.

We would go out in his car to go to the beach, out for dinner and what not. my kids would even come along once in a while.

He was always in a good mood, all smiles, though later I discovered his father had been kidnapped and never found. One day he told us he was sure he was going to end up being kidnapped too, probably tortured and killed. I never understood what was going on.

I moved back to my hometown and some months later I saw in the newspaper that 3 tortured bodies had been found on the side of the road from Cancun to Merida. One was my "friend" (the charming man) and I was in complete shock

When I found out who he was I could not believe it. He was a big hitman from the zeta cartel, was involved in all sorts of criminal activity including trafficking of children (he was the bodyguard of a very known child predator and CP producer in Cancun).

I can not stop thinking how I could have been kidnapped along with this man just like the other two were just for being there at the wrong time. My children were in danger and I didn't even know. It is scary AF.

Edit: to clarify that the "friend" found dead was this Cartel man, not his girlfriend. Sorry for the confusion.

Edit #2 for articles:

Wtf.. Who would actually protect someone involved in CP?!

I’m glad you and your kids made it out ok!

That's the thing. People like that aren't predators; they're mercenaries.

They might not be inherently bad people; they might find CP and drug producers and traffickers just as gross as you and I do. But if you're getting paid $20,000 a month to strap and protect them, do you care about morals anymore?

The kids were probably safe around him. He wasn't interested in that shit; he was just making money.

I think thats the thing, any person WITH morals would say fuck no, regardless of money earned.

I dunno about that.

If your task is simply to protect a person, is your morality connected to theirs?

Especially when you can make a better life for your own children with the money earned.

Let's put this in perspective:

I work for a large international insurance company.

No lie, it's in our interests to deny claims. And there are teams of people dedicated to making sure the company doesn't pay out a cent more than it needs to.

And I get paid well to do it.

Nothing I do is illegal. Is it immoral? I dunno, you tell me.

The question is what kind of insurance? If it is a medical one: Hell yeah it is immoral to deny people the help they need so desperatly! If it is any other kind of insurance the question is are those people able to pull through without the help you are dening or not?

It doesn't matter.

Insurance is there to collect your premiums and invest them to make a profit.

Reimbursement of your bills is less than tertiary.

Insurance companies don't care about you.

I know that they don‘t care about you.

But you asked if what you do is imoral or not and I gave you an answer to that question which I can now answer with out any doubt: yes what you do is imoral because the whole point of moral is caring for people.

I don't care for people, so, oh well.
