Back to the middle ages. Castles and moats.

More like the premise for the movie “Magnificent Seven”

How truly sad these criminals have gained so much power over decent people. They sound like they are willing to fight if they have some kind of chance, but there doesn’t appear to be any kind of real chance against a better armed army of thugs. We should learn from this people...we make excuses in our minds why we should not protest or take some risks now. Later, it will be much more difficult.

I saw this one.
The next thing they’ll do is hire seven samurai.

Senador John Cornyn said, “the border fence is a 19th Century solution to a 21st Century problem.”

The much villified semi-auto variant of the AK-47 would be the salvation of these people. People unarmed are at the mercy of gangs like this, and of abusive governments.
The surest way to identify an elitist would-be ruler, is their attitude towards my guns. An honest leader or citizen would never fear them.

USMC would do just fine, just tell them what you want done and step back, the will return the the bad guys in neatly wraped pieces.
To: SwinneySwitch
If these guys can get over a 20 foot border fence or the Rio Grande, I don’t think a moat will help much.
To: Right Wing Assault
The hapless peons are probably hoping the bad guys, being basically lazy, will pick on some other less protected village

This story sounds so amazing I question if it is true.

The villagers may have to go north of the border for help if they want to ward off Calvera.
