A US border patrol marine unit on Friday morning was fired upon by Mexican cartels from the Mexican riverbank.
“Early this morning, agents assigned to the Rio Grande City Station Marine Unit patrolling near Fronton, Texas, reported they were fired upon from the Mexican riverbank. Agents saw four subjects with automatic weapons who shot over 50 rounds at them. The boat was hit several times but no one on board was injured,” Border Patrol announced on Friday.

Well yeah. Probably with bush/obama guns too.
Are our border agents allowed to shoot back, with something really lethal?
Where is an MQ-9 and Hellfire when you need it?
We need Apaches on standby.
So the machine guns I’ve seen mounted on those boats are just for show.
The Cartel That Couldn’t Shoot Straight, from the producers of The Hunt.
They need Pisslosi’s permission to shoot back.
Assault rounds?
Simple solution, shoot back
How come the neocon usual suspects never agitate for a shooting war with Mexico over all of the festering border and drug smuggling issues? They always want to crank up wars in the Middle East.
Have you seen the Texas DPS gun boats they have on the river? (no idea how to post a picture)
And yes, those are M240 belt-fed machine guns on that boat. 6 of them.
Boom boom time.
Why are the bad guys not dead? They fired on US marines right?
Sounds like the cartel has too many ex ATF employee’s on their team, None can Shoot Straight.
An act of aggression by belligerent non-state actors. These are bandits. Geneva and Hague Conventions do not apply.
Hunt them all down, kill them & their relatives, freeze & confiscate their assets, burn/bomb/destroy their properties & goods. Not just the shooters, but their cartel and their buddies’ cartels.
Now.
So that the 10th generation from now will tremble at night whenever any mechanized vehicle passes by.
These boats should mount machine guns for just such incidents. If they were so armed with the MGs prominent the cartels would not shoot at them. Moslems are suicida, AntieFayes can be suicidal. Cartelistos are not.
Artillery practice time. Or make a call to GhostRider.
Puff/Spectre!
