Armed gunmen seen in Vekol Valley along I-8 may be Mexican assassins
The US Report ^ | 28 Oct 2010 | Chris Carter

On Monday, a Pinal County, Ariz. sheriff's deputy spotted two Hispanic males armed with long rifles along Interstate 8 in the Vekol Valley. The men were hiding in the bush next to the road, and fled when the deputy spotted them. As they fled, one suspect dropped a backpack containing a loaded magazine and .223 caliber ammunition. Other evidence discovered at the scene indicated that a load of marijuana had recently been transferred to a vehicle. Law enforcement was unable to catch the fleeing gunmen.

As Liberty & Security Journal reported last week, Mexican drug cartels have deployed hit men to the U.S. to kill thieves who are hijacking cartel drug shipments. According to a news release from the Pinal County sheriff's office, 15 “very well equipped and armed sicarios [assassins] complete with bullet proof vests” are at large in Arizona's Vekol Valley, a heavily-used drug smuggling corridor just 30 miles south of Phoenix.

The release said that another group would pose as drug smugglers in order to bait the thieves, who would then be killed by the sicarios. Tim Gaffney, a spokesman for Pinal County Sheriff's Office stated that cartel members use caves overlooking the valley as observation posts in order to ambush the bandits. Recently, law enforcement officials discovered one such position, which Gaffney confirmed was used by the sicarios...

Time to send the U.S. military to the border.
Period!
Or we’ll have severed heads of our police forces laying around.

Law enforcement should just focus on Grandma with the tail light out in her mini van. Tail lights and seat-belts are easy pickens. Nobody gets shot. City or county gets paid. Grandma is real polite when the City or County picks her pocket.

In saner times, any president who refused to crush these border violations by armed thugs would have been impeached. This shouldn’t be tolerated for even one day, but who knows for how long this has been going on.

***Law enforcement was unable to catch the fleeing gunmen.***

Unable or unwilling! The Sheriff of Cochise County used to catch’em all as did Glen Ford in his TV show CADE’S COUNTY.

And Texas John Slaughter mad’em do as they aughter, cause if they didn’t they died!

Send the military? Hey, hold the phone! According to George W Bush these are just humble hardworking family men trying to convey their family values across the river.

You want to stop them, then you must be a racist vigilante. See you at the bill signing.

If the government won’t do it then it’s up to the citizens to take matters into their own hands. There has been a twenty-plus years invasion/colonization by Mexico of our southern border and for at least the last ten years repeated incursions by Mexican military. In the last three years as Mexico has begun to collapse and implode into lawless chaos there has been a war going on along our border with Mexico that no one wants to admit.

I still cannot believe that people are crying about the Open Border to Mexico and the Drug Trafficking going on across it, If we were to Close the Border and stop the Free Flow of controlled substances, We would have to End the War on Drugs, Fire 3/4 of ALL POLICE, Close down 3/4 of All Court Houses, We would have Thousands of Prisons sitting empty, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Prison Guards. The Federal Reserve and Assorted Banks would lose Billions in Transfer Fees and Interest from their Money Laundering operations. Never Gonna Happen.. Give it up, we need the war on drugs more than anything else.

Sure is. We already know the government isn’t going to be much help.
