How do you think cartel violence compares to Daesh/ISIL/ISIS violence? It seems like both made a name for themselves by making brutality their brand. How do the cartels use that brand of brutality to achieve their ends?

For both of you: Did you ever find yourself getting desensitized to the violence? If so, were there any specific moments when you were shocked back into being sensitive to it? Were there any moments where you were scared for your own safety (either in the investigation or the reporting of the story)?
