Good for the Jackson County Sheriffs Dept, Sheriff Winter is a no nonsense Sheriff.

Interesting that they didn’t mention giving the “guard” a chance to surrender or that the “guard” made any threatening moves.

(A senior SWAT officer disarms and takes off his armor and goes out to speak with the man) Um. Senor...Senor? Could you please put the gun down? Pleeeeease? There's all kinds of police out here and it would be really nice of you if you could just lay down your firearm instead of protecting the pot grow like you're ordered to do."

I’m pretty sure they can’t just whack a guy standing there w a shotgun.

I'm pretty sure there aren't too many SWAT teams (or death squads as you would probably label them) just roaming the deep woods of N. Cali looking to kill random people for no reason.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack...oversees the Forest Service...

It seems many sources are going out of their way to downplay involvement by illegal aliens.

In a similar CA raid on U.S. Forest Service land, their defective Cyborg Leftoid for that area put out a press release. Putting a smiley-face on it, she referred to the Hispanic illegal alien captured as a Displaced Foreign Traveler!!

I notice in this post while the media refers to the Mexican Cartels, they downplay the obvious stating they are guarded by Foreign Nationals.

Thank God our citizens have not (far as we know via media) been hurt/murdered by these illegal/illegal pot farm grows.

Think of the our hunters/chantrell pickers/hikers ect...

Too bad that they didn’t waste the one who got away. The truth is that these illegal aliens who are armed and a threat to American citizens who get too close to the pot fields need to be shot.

It is not too big a stretch to view what they do as an attack on this country. They are armed and dangerous. Kill them. Raise the cost of doing business for the cartels.

Listen you condecendig whack job!

I was commenting on the writing of the article.

I’m sure they shouted “Police! Drop your weapon!”

The writer should have said so.

I carry, especially in the mountains, so quit with your lame attempts at mind reading and labeling.

How many hikers or hunters have disappeared in the woods over the past few years?

Having American land unsafe to roam because of armed foreign invaders is too much;our government is run by the criminals.

The Mail Tribune is a notoriously BAD news rag.

This would probably involve more of “draining the (Congress) swamp,” and the judiciary here and in Mexico.

Only the kingpins make political contributions, or didn’t you think about that? FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Bingo. I don’t know how this can stand and SB1070 can’t.

A SWAT medic performed emergency aid on the man but he died at the scene, OSP said. Awww, that's a shame

Heh....blast him with a few shots, and then when they collapse, give "CPR" until they exsanguinate.

I don’t know how many.

It is not reported by the media if illegals have harmed any Americans.

And I agree with the rest of your post.

The PNW is as far far away from the Mexican border.

I didn’t know for fact that illegals were armed and doing grow operations up here.

Aunt B brought it up on another thread and being in the same state it stayed on my mind and then a my county internet news source posted the story about this Jackson county incident (far SE from my area, but still in our State).

Reading this article that I had on my local net news confirmed what Aunt B was trying to alert others too when she was questioned on that thread to provide a link.

We have Coast Guard and Sherriff do routine fly overs for training ect. so as we have not had any such armed grows discovered.

Have had stories amongst local about armed Americans getting territorial on public lands during Chantrell Mushroom hunting season but not confirmed.

I know allot of folks who hunt/hike and so it has my attention as I would never want to have any of them run into foul play.

We did have two hispanics (don’t know the status of their legality) from our community die while lost out in the forrest due to carbon monoxide poisoning (trying to keep warm in their van) but it was not tied to any crime, there funeral was held just down the road from us at the yacht club were non club events take place.

I trust that my local county govt is aggressive towards all illegal/illegal criminals.

But this is a Federal IMO issue that has been ignored for too many years.

It is a huge issue for Americans living along the Southern border but now it has penetrated nationwide.

Troops should have been deployed to clean up the drug cartel activity withen our borders decades ago.

I am just as upset at those who use drugs as I am with the murdering savages who supply them.

They ALL have blood on there hands as far as I am concerned.

You just need to wait. The EPA will file a suit against the county for illegal disposal of lead on public lands.

Well, then you forgot the requisite /sarc tag. There’s an abundance of immediate “hate the police” sentiment on FR these days. Sorry for defending the good guys.

I have no problem with these pot gardens being eradicated by any means necessary and if foreign criminals get killed that’s a bonus. The very thought of foreign criminals taking over parts of our national parks..... This would not have been tolerated a few short years ago

And if pot ever gets legalized no one will care. A stoned population is like sheep

Sheriff Winters was just interviewed by Lars Larson about this.

Interesting. He usually has the audio of these up later in the day.
