Mayor Schell knew that being in a homeless facility was only short-term fix.
The Gold rush began in 1849 when around 50,000 miners (known as the ’49ers’) travelled to California to mine for gold on the Native Americans land. The mining took place on the Natives sacred land which understandably angered the tribes as it caused many problems for them.

I'm crazy and I like to kill my enemies.” This lyric suggests that cartels are fearless and will do whatever they need to in order to protect their cartel’s business. Narcocorridos wants their listeners to understand truly how bad cartels are and what they are capable of doing. Since 2006, many Narcocorridos singers have been “brutally gunned down.” There is speculation
