You said: What is a drug gang going to do with a ranch on the American side of the border? Theyd be sitting ducks whenever any local, state or federal law enforcement agency decided to move in on them.
It is my most HUMBLE opinion that these gangs KNOW we're not going to do anything to them.
They ARE taking over America...these people are EVERYwhere...so this news, if it turns out to be true, will not surprise me one bit. They're in the process of taking over the southwest...FOR STARTERS.
That's all.
But what seems bizarre about this - if it actually happened - is that drug gangs invading private ranches is the sort of thing that will bring far more law enforcement to bear on themselves than if they just conducted their smuggling and illegal drug sales as inconspicuously as possible.
I do not think for a second that state, county and local law enforcement will sit and do nothing about this, and the article said the ranch owners had fled. And
Update - Statement from Mr. Schwilk)
I can personally vouch that this info came in late last night from a reliable police source inside the Laredo PD. There is currently a standoff between the unknown size Zeta forces and U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement on two ranches on our side of the Rio Grande. The source tells us he considers this an "act of war" and that the military is needed on the border now!
Whether it is lone members or squads is not certain.
If this happened, it is the sort of thing that will not be overlooked as if it's just one more group of illegals crossing over the border. And the report says there is already a standoff between the drug gang and local law enforcement and the BP.
There is a point where even the government we have now will react, and that sort of action is probably that point.
