GUNMEN have kidnapped the sole police officer in a northern Mexican town, a 28-year-old woman working alone after her colleagues resigned or were killed in the region's brutal drug war.
A dozen unidentified gunmen set Erika Gandara's home ablaze last week and torched two cars parked outside before abducting her, the Chihuahua state prosecutor's office.
Guadalupe, the town of 9000 inhabitants she helped keep safe, is located just off the US-Mexico border in the heart of one of the country's most violent regions where 3100 people were killed this year alone.
In late November, unidentified gunmen killed another female crime fighter, Hermila Garcia Baeza, the police chief of Meoqui. a town in the state of Chihuahua, located about 175km from the US-Mexico border.
An attorney, Garcia Baeza had been on the job for only a month at the time of her death.

Screw Iraq and Afghanistan. Time for them to sink or swim. We have a failed state on our border. Suppose the commies sieze control and get all that oil?

Well, all her former colleagues were crooked and resigned due to that.
They were getting kickbacks and such from the cartels.
IF she is ever found, she will be dead but not before they ‘make an example’ out of her.

A town that size should have 15-20 cops, not just a 28 year old girl.

We should just declare war on Mexico.
The place is utter chaos, feeding us with illegals, killers, drugs, and driving us into ruin with truckloads upon truckloads of their children born of their hyperactive genitalia.
Declare war; get their oil and beachfront property, kick all their asses out back into Mexico.
The place is completely out of control.
It is not our job to civilize those animals, much less the animals of the middle east.
