But soon after, other things started happening for the first time in Monterrey, things that in the mind of the locals only happened in Hollywood movies like: drive by shootings and car chases, robberies, kidnappings and extortion. People were not use to hearing about these kinds of events in Monterrey. Panic grew rampant as the local authorities tried to invalidate and diminish the incidents. After a while, it was evident to all that this problem had been brewing for decades, due to government corruption and collusion with organized crime as well as a total lack of expertise to deal with now well-armed criminals.

The police forces were infiltrated and many of their members were actually on the payroll of the drug cartels. The number of armed carjackings shot up insanely fast in the city, to the point where it was a gamble just to go to the grocery store or drop your kid at school. People talked about how bad it was getting, but the authorities kept stating that the perception was much distorted and that the numbers of reported crimes was very small. This was partially true as the common citizen knew that many of the members of the police forces were actually involved in the crimes, so reporting it was a moot point and perhaps even dangerous as there could be retaliations from the criminals.

This is what we will see here when Obama's stash starts running dry.

I shall make a desolation, and call it peace. They really don't want to play those games in my yard.

“Long Pig” for dinner?

[JRandomFreeper]

I can do that. I have the recipes and technology, but I'd rather not. Squirrel works for a while until I can find a cow.

My guess is the majority of them will go for easier targets at first. The weak will get weeded out.

The unarmed will go first. That's why they are desperate to take away our 2A rights.

Good article, good advice from the original author.

"It is important to keep in mind that even if some of the crimes shown in the news are horrific, most of the victims are criminals. According to statistics from the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico, 90% of the victims of murder are cartel members, 7% are law enforcement personnel and 3% are civilians."

That's a good caution against indulgence in pride as a "prep."

A 'felon' just returned my tiller that I let him borrow. He's putting in a garden this year. Gardening is a better hobby than running the streets and going to the honky tonks.

It's a good thing to encourage positive attributes in the youth of today. Even if they have tats and nose rings.

I'll never be a saint, but I can grow veggies and speak good Christian words to harsh young men that are willing to listen.

I can also make harsh young men willing to listen if required. Nothing like twisting a little finger to get someone's attention. That's why I'll never be a saint.

Well I might not make it to that point to find out, because I wont be giving mine up.

As long as you can cook a good squirrel I doubt anyone cares if yer a saint.

[JRandomFreeper]

If you don't like the squirrel, there's always the biscuits and gravy that go with.

Well said and fully agreed. I’ll send a more private message with a more personal note.

[driftdiver]

I grew up on squirrel, rabbit and making stink bait for catfish.

[JRandomFreeper]

I’ll send a more private message with a more personal note.

I'm a single male that SHALL remain single. I like 3/5ths of my grandkids, cooking, 60s musicals, and hanging out on the roof, nekkid, watching the stars.

Do your best.

Not that personal, buddy! I'm a he, and straight! ;-) ...only a little clarifying and less stimulating background stuff that might explain some of my unexciting comments on these crazy times (not very popular in these threads).

LOL! Thanks for the laughs you bring.

[Note to self: help find Johnny a woman. ;-) ]

[Note to familyop: Don’t piss-off the cook.]

[JRandomFreeper]

No... Mongo straight

I've said it before. Mel thought of everything.
