As near as I can tell, scrap iron prices are only running at around 20 cents per pound at best.
The scrap thieves are very often notorious idiots.
In 2 weeks they’ll be sworn in as naturalized citizens.
I hope they track them down and run them out of town on a rail after a swift kick in the caboose.
I wonder what they would do to a gringo caught doing the same thing to the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico? Hmmm...But we are wicked Anglo colonialist oppressors, so we must let them go in the name of diversity!
no sarcasm tag required;)
In eight months they'll be voting.
I called Napalitano’s number.............they told me
contact the railroad.... and that they (the illegal aliens), steal the pins for metal...
That’s it.
They weigh a little less than a pound each. Scrap steel is about $300 a ton in november. Really if you think about all the steel laying around in junk cars in back lots, rail sidings, old heavy steel pipes left in storage areas, old buildings,,,etc. It’s often even found out in the middle of nowhere. You can get to a ton pretty fast. Copper is better, but steel can be found everywhere,,unguarded.
I can’t imagine there’s enough money in scrap iron for that to be worthwhile. This is something else.You'd be surprised. They just busted a couple of idiots in western Mass who were stealing veterens' graveside flag holders (at about three pounds each) for the bronze.
TChris ~ Nailed it.
I bet the MSM spikes the story too...
This is going to piss of Willie Green.
SO true, i bet its harder than we would care to imagine to pull spikes from a creosote soaked wooden tie. There has to be an easier way to find easily stolen steel rather than pulling it by the pound, by hand, from a cross-tie.
Bronze is worth in the $2 per pound range. Scrap iron is in the 20 cent per pound range.
Charge the maggots with terrorism.
For that matter, why not charge all of the above and illegal aliens with terrorism. They are ruining our economy.
Probably sending them back to Mexico to be re-used in constructing drug smuggling tunnels.
Terrorists in America ping
I’d say screw it and take my chances robbing somebody. LOL
“They need to be hanged for this’
Have mercy...I hadn’t heard about this.
How the hell do we fight a war, when our beloved leaders keep telling us the army invading us is our friend and economic savior?
We can’t/won’t hang them, dear pissant. They’re ILLEGAL aliens..they have special rights! We only kill US citizen criminals.
Forget the aliens..HANG the politicians! The aliens will go home!
And yes, it absolutely is TERRORISM.
TERRORISM....The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda; Violence against civilians to achieve military or political objectives; A psychological strategy of war for gaining political ...
WHAT IS AN ARMY? (The invasion of the USA)
From The US Border Patrol
http://www.usborderpatrol.com/Border_Patrol901_10.htm
What makes up an army? An army is made of men between the age of 15 and 35.
What comes across our border by the millions each year? Men between the ages of 15 and 35.
Afghan drug lords are now teamed with Mexican drug cartels to flood our cities with heroin. In Mexico, this Muslim Connnection to the drug cartels has brought beheadings to the streets of border towns. Many Mexican cities are now surrounded by Mexican Army troops and tanks — all to quel the violence. The city of Tijuana had its entire 3,000 man police force disarmed and replaced with Mexican Federal Troops.
What we have below are two images. One is of an enemy we fought tooth and claw for seventy years nearly bankrupting our country. The other we today invite across our border with welfare, free medical care, and more. The centers of many American cities are now controlled by MS-13 and others of the most violent gangs in America’s entire history. These gangs want to kill police and federal agents to rise in reputation among their own kind. Our prisons are now filled with a violent criminal class never seen before anywhere on earth.
In all of the 70 years of the Soviet Union — including the years of the proxy war of Vietnam.— they killed fewer Americans in total than Mexican Illegal Aliens do inside this country in a single year.
Bull! There is plenty of scrap steel, including rail spikes, lying around rail lines that doesn't have to be pulled out of the tracks.
