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.
>I am just as upset at those who use drugs as I am with the murdering savages who supply them.<
That’s wrong! Where is your sympathy for those who are victims of the terror of drug addiction?
Did I say that with the proper amount of chaste in my voice?
I’m like you are. In this day and age if you are addicted to any chemical, you cannot say that you didn’t know of the dangers of addiction long before your first use. More likely than not you grew up watching a family member suffer from the very same addiction so you are not going to find sympathy from me.
