Even with the major flaws in the operations execution the idea of the operation was a good idea. Operation Fast and Furious was an operation with a good thought process behind it but with poor execution. The goal of the operation originally was to place trackers in guns and then to supply these guns to mexican cartels and work side by side with the mexican government to bring down the cartels. Operation Fast and Furious was never going to work it was a flawed operation and a way for the U.S. to give weapons to the mexican cartels. Operation fast and furious was not a flawed operation, but rather it was an operation in which the execution was everything but flawless.
Although the Operation was flawed in its execution there was a large possibility

Just as the attorney general was about to be disrespected because of operation fast and furious President Obama called Capitol Hill and instilled the Executive Privilege to protect him. In the operation hundreds of guns were lost because of Mr. Holder’s say and President Obama bailed him out just as he was to be held accountable for his actions that left a Border Patrol agent dead. this was able to happen on the claim that if the documents were released it could jeopardize ongoing investigations. "I write now to inform you that the president has asserted executive privilege over the relevant... documents," Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote to the lawmakers. The White House has released some documents however all say the same thing and do not give the answers people are looking for; the White House is more worried about protecting the name of Eric Holder than giving us the information we want and deserve as U.S. citizens. Many citizens want an excuse to why the Operation was rushed and 1400 guns are still in mexican cartel hands supplied by our government. A news anchor ask an Arizona Sheriff, “You said, ‘If somebody gives a gun to somebody knowing they’re going to commit murder….We call them accomplices.’ Do you think the ATF have been accomplices to …show more content…
Many things caused the failure of the potentially life saving operation and caused it to be an operation that cost the life of a border patrol agent. Although the operation had a good goal there was no possibility of success in the sense of how not everything was thought out and executed correctly. Martin Luther King Jr. said “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” in the instance of gun walking or Operation Fast and furious one could say that the government is the silent friend who stands by and does nothing. The murder as horrible as it sounds will be forgotten by the country but the government giving cartels guns the passive action will never be

Beginning the mid 1920s, Hollywood’s ostensibly all-powerful film studios controlled the American film industry, creating a period of film history now recognized as “Classical Hollywood”. Distinguished by a practical, workmanlike, “invisible” method of filmmaking- whose purpose was to demand as little attention to the camera as possible, Classical Hollywood cinema supported undeviating storylines (with the occasional flashback being an exception), an observance of a the three act structure, frontality, and visibly identified goals for the “hero” to work toward and well-defined conflict/story resolution, most commonly illustrated with the employment of the “happy ending”. Studios understood precisely what an audience desired, and accommodated their wants and needs, resulting in films that were generally all the same, starring similar (sometimes the same) actors, crafted in a similar manner. It became the principal style throughout the western world against which all other styles were judged. While there have been some deviations and experiments with the format in the past 50 plus ye...
The business process of the Mexican drug cartels is not easy, but is a very simple method. Step one is the drugs are produced in Mexico. Step two is the drugs are smuggled across the boarder. Step three is the drugs are distributed to the drug dealers in the U.S. Step four are the drug dealers sell the drugs and U.S. cash dollars are made. It is a simple four-step method, but the process of the four steps comes with a lot of trouble, risk, and violence.

The racial system is composed of three basic parts that divides people into different categories: the white on top, black on bottom, and brown in between. This system came to be as a result of three different population coming together with unequal terms resulting in one population having the most power. The film Do the Right Thing, directed by Spike Lee, does an excellent job at portraying how the racial system functions by showing the advantages of being at the top of the system and the disadvantages of being at the bottom of the system. Not only does Spike Lee show the way that the racial system works but it also shows the reality of it and how it puts the races at the bottom

Mexico has an extended past of cartel deaths, drugs and weapon trafficking is in all time high growing year by year. Mexico's gangs have succeeded since the late 19th century, mostly in the northern part due to their vicinity to towns along the U.S.-Mexico border. But it was the American desire for cocaine in the 1970s that gave Mexican drug cartels enormous power to the production and transport illegal drugs across the border. Initial Mexican gangs were mainly situated in border towns where prostitution, drug abuse, breach of copyright and extortion succeeded. The United States devotes almost $500 million a year on backing Mexico’s war against cartels that shifts drugs to American consumers. Last year the Armed Forces police explain that 70 percent of the illegal guns impounded from Mexican Drug cartels in the five years previous had been U.S. made.
Americans are faced with a huge problem of violence in the streets, these streets have become a place where old people are beaten for their social security checks, where little women are attacked and raped, where teen aged thugs shoot it out for some turf to sell their illegal drugs, and finally where small children everyday are caught in the way of bullets during drive by shootings. We try to ignore the criminals in our society and how they hurt it, but we shouldn’t. We should take actions to stop these acts of crazy people. And people try, but the hard work of some misguided individuals to stop the legal ownership of guns doesn’t really affect the problem at all, and takes the guns from the innocent citizens, who simply want means of self defense.

First ... there is a huge amount of illegal weapons in circulation , many in criminal hands . When gun control arrives, but the weapons are confiscated criminals retain theirs. Reflection ...
Also, there is already a black market for illegal substances such as drugs, bombs, and other weapons; what’s going to stop the criminals from illegally obtaining a gun? Nothing, they’re criminals. Doing illegal things and breaking the law is what they do best. That’s why the solution that Diantha Parker and Ryan McCarthy provided in their New York Times article is worth looking into:

...ion and drug smuggling has been on the rise the past few decades and our current approach is not confronting the escalating issue at hand. America’s safekeeping at our borders is not robust enough to deter these illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. Our border wall and security checkpoints must be strengthened immediately.
