Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 7/16/14 | Associated Press and Michael Zennie

Three alleged members of a Mexican drug cartel are in jail after allegedly bringing their brutal tactics north of the border and using them on a South Carolina man who owed them a $200,000 drug debt.

The FBI says the men kidnapped a 23-year-old from his hometown in St. Matthews, South Carolina, on July 9 and held him for nearly a week while they tried to extort up to $400,000 from his family.

He was rescued mostly unharmed early Tuesday from a home in rural Roseboro, North Carolina, where he was found chained to the floor and blindfolded.

Authorities say the man was a drug runner, responsible for distributing marijuana and cocaine across North and South Carolina for a Mexican drug cartel.

In light of the rumors that Rahm and O favor the Sinaloa cartel, it would have been interesting to hear which cartel was involved here. But, the article stated that it wasn’t known at the time of writing.

If Obama and the Dems get their way on immigration then I recommend that everybody start their own cartels. Americans will have the advantage of knowing the territory before they take over completely here as they do in Mexico.

These narcoterrorists are protected.

During Obama’s CWII, it is reported that
the Fed allows no LEO investigations of them,
not even to request papers or age.
