Helicopters!!! Guess I’d better get out the tin foil to cover my head....of course that won’t do me much good when some Mexican cartel thug decides to lop it off!

Would it be legal and moral for the sheriff to shoot the damned thing down?

I could understand being in hot pursuit, but they should have radioed ahead.

‘Bush’s fault’, said the White House Press Office.

I’d shoot the foreign aircraft down. It’d be interesting to see who our gov’t sides with.

Witnesses there say the chopper hovered over a home that used to belong to a drug dealer before flying back to Mexico.


Who owns the home now?

My guess is one of their drug dealers tried to flee the country without the proper government payoffs, so they were trying to “extradite” him back.

We didn’t do anything about the thirty million invaders that came before and now we are worried about one helicopter?

Wait till it looks like amnesty is going to get passed. You will see a flood of invaders coming from the south to take root.

Suppose amnesty doesn’t pass, and the invaders say “no, I’m not going back.”

Why worry about foreign helicopters entering US airspace when, at the samr time, perhaps hundreds of illegals and terrorists cross the border elsewhere?
Could they have been Kenyan helicopters? Just asking.

thanks for keeping us up on south texas, Swimmney.

I am assuming this is somewhere near Roma. Beautiful town with ancient 19th-century buildings falling into utter ruin.

Lots of fancy homes there along the highway just alongside the rio Grande.

A lovely and fascinating area with a lot of history, destroyed by this terrible situation.

“US officials are now trying to determine why the helicopter entered our airspace.”
Here’s a clue.
Because they can.

perhaps the Mexicans are helping Obama go after right-wing militias

My goodness, why are these Texans demanding the border be closed?

How about sending the Tx national guard down there?

Face it the big O will do nothing about this.

My biggest fear right now is that the pubbies take back congress and go forward on Amnesty. Instead of beginning the battle to dismantle the gov’t.

Not dismantle it totally, you know. Maybe about 60-70% would be good.

I don’t think the run-of-the-mill non military copters are that hard to shoot down. There was a story a few years back about someone shooting down a police helicopter with a standard hunting rifle. It’s just a matter of hitting them in the right spot.
