The civil unrest in San Antonio surpassed that seen in most cities during the Second Great Depression. South Texas had far more in common with Mexico than the rest of the State, and the Mexican drug cartels were more firmly embedded than elsewhere. So when the drug king pins that history, and Dixie, would call the Drug Lords moved on Texas, they had many foot soldiers to call upon. The San Antonio police were not prepared for the onslaught of drug cartel and gang violence that spawned from that move, and vast swaths of the city and the surrounding environs soon fell into complete anarchy.
