Not real sure that 'The Sun' is all that credible.

this is true.
Mexican Cartels dont like kidnappers. They WILL go to great lengths to eliminate them. I forget the back story but one of or several of the bigger ones agreed to not harm family members of top leadership and have an unwritten code that they wont use kidnappers on their families. That they will be fair game and are encouraged to kill them on the spot.
When I was in Mexico a couple years back I remember the news was talking about how a big cartel was taken down by the military and the head guy was killed. They mentioned how he wasnt really bothered before since he was at war with rapists and kidnappers. They suspected that the police let them exist as long as they served a purpose like that. Also many wealthy families that have always been the target of kidnappers pay the cartels sometimes to either rescue their missing family or to get vengeance.
You dont want to be a petty kidnapper in Mexico. You die slowly.
EDIT:
it is not to say that they DONT kidnap themselves. BUT not for ransom. Just for killing.

If you really think about their morals it seems like they are trying to change Mexico for the better. You may disagree because they are a drug cartel and they sell drugs that are addictive and harmful to the body, but their customers aren't doing anything they don't want to, it is their choice to take the drugs. The Knights Templar wants to stop crime, with the exception of drug dealing and usage.
