People understand the gang scene. But they don’t comprehend them. These gangs around the country could care less about you or your family. Life has no meaning to them. You are just a bug that will be stepped on and killed and that goes for your family. You can never talk to them and convince them to change their ways. It doesn’t work. The only thing they know is violence against you and anyone they meet. They must be met with overwhelming force and eleminated.......one way or another.
Sheriff To Texas Border Town: ‘Arm Yourselves’
‘Arm Yourselves’
Last week, residents held a town-hall meeting in Fort Hancock, Texas — a sleepy agricultural town on the border, about an hour southeast of El Paso, that looks like the bleak set of No Country for Old Men.
A couple hundred people crowded into the grade-school gym to hear a chilling message from Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West.
“You farmers, I’m telling you right now, arm yourselves,” he said. “As they say the old story is, it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. Damn it, I don’t want to see six people carrying you.”
His warning was prompted by the killing of the Arizona rancher, and the spiraling violence a couple of miles away in Mexico in a region known as the Valley of Juarez. The notorious smuggling territory is being fought over by the Sinaloa and the Juarez cartels.
“One of the men that works for me had five people killed in front of his house over there [in Mexico] this past weekend,” says Curtis Carr, who is a farmer and county commissioner. “And he’s moving his family over here this week. It’s serious over there. Whether or not it’s gonna spill over here, I don’t know.”[snip]

I agree with that. Many will die I fear before we learn that rabid dogs like that can only be dealt with on their level.
