Cartel Targets Americans
At least one police officer named
EL PASO - The drug cartels are targeting Americans this morning. Police in El Paso say they received a list of 15 to 20 names, all of people living in New Mexico and Texas. The names include at least one police officer.
The drug cartels have made good on death threats on police in Mexico. Out of a hit list of 22 police officers in Ciudad Juarez, only one is still on the force. Seven of those officer were killed. The rest quit.
Local law enforcement is working with federal authorities to prevent the violence from spilling over to the U.S. side.
This article was posted yesterday and then got pulled for some reason. I didn’t understand why.
Border ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
“Officer Chris Mears, spoksman with the El Paso Police Department, reportedly said his agency had “no credible information” about violence spilling across the border into Texas.”
Right, because all of the people coming across the border illegally are upstanding citizens. lol
Not so sure about that. Would they want it known? It’s only a natter of time anyway.
But it isn’t all GWB’s fault like some you lead us to believe.
AP articles no longer welcome on FR.
Where’s General Pershing when you need him?
What's that about?
Click on keyword zetas.
AP wants 10 word exerpts on blogs, per word of mouth
Also, El Paso newspaper is a Gannett paper and they only allow a title and link on FR.
Just One of the many reasons we should call on Congress not to pass a assault weapons ban!
Any attacks on Americans should be punished with overwhelmingly disproportionate force.
Back in the early 20th Century we sent Pershing and the army into Mexico to get Pancho Villa.
George Patton personally went into a cantina and mowed down several of Villa’s henchmen with his .45, including his number two guy Cardenas. We sure didn’t care then what the Mexican government thought.
Maybe its time to send in the troops to teach these cartels and smugglers a lesson they’ll not soon forget.
Of course lawless invasion of our country is not Bush's fault. He's just the Commander in Chief, and leader of the free world. What could he possibly do?
He's just an innocent bystander here with no power at all.
I'm getting the Charlton Heston, ape movie feeling...Keep hearing Chuck yelling...It's a mad house.
LOL!
I saw “Carter Hit List.”
From Reuters “Some 1,380 people have died in drug-related murders this year, a faster pace than in 2007 when there were 2,500 deaths during the entire year.”

Harry R & Nancy P must soon be telling the Mexicans the war is lost and they must get out.
Oh, OK, that makes sense. I didn’t know it was an AP article.
An international organized criminal organization making threats against those who either screw them or get in their way. Whoa, how original...
There was a point back in Texas History when we used to declare and individual or group “OUTLAW” and at that point citizens could shoot and kill those folks without prosecution. I think we should go back to that way of working. Legal Citizens could shoot on site where a judge and jury after reviewing the evidence would be able to authorize a death warrant to be executed by any legal citizen at will. Rewards would be a bonus, and Wanted “DEAD or Alive” could come back in style too while we are at it. I think the problem would evaporate quickly.
