Nine members of a Mormon family were killed on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border, and authorities are investigating whether the attack was the result of mistaken identity. The slain victims include three women, four small children and two infants, family member Alex LeBaron said from Mexico. He said all nine were dual US-Mexican citizens. The victims were "all shot while in vehicles while driving," LeBaron told CNN. Investigators believe three vehicles traveling between the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua were ambushed by criminal groups Monday evening, Mexican authorities said.

“Please provide proof for your allegation, otherwise, you’re either uninformed or deliberately bearing false witness against an entire denomination.”

This is normal and accessible.

Amen. I’m not LDS, but I probably would be if I was born into an LDS family. Tired of all the anti LDS bigotry on here. Yes, Mittens is a fool. But he’s not their Pope! This is a time for prayer and action on behalf of the lives lost to bloodthirsty cartel violence. I don’t care if these children and women were wiccans or atheists - they’re Americans. And while I have major theological differences with LDS, I’ve never met a Mormon who wasn’t kind.

“I’m sorry setter. You seem to be confused.
I wasn’t talking about sanitized gangsters from Hollywood movies and pulp novels. I was instead referring to real life brutal crime organizations.”

The mafia never would have gunned down innocent people. Show me the mass graves in NY of hundreds, thousands of people massacred.

To say the Mafia and Irish gangs are no different than the cartels is laughable.

The mafia had strict codes. IF they killed someone the family of the victim was never to see it.

“USA citizens need to get out of Mexico... NOW”

The LeBaron family owns and operates a large ranch in Mexico. Most are full blooded Mexican.

This family must have a parent from the States, other then thst they are most likley local people..

Joy Behar supports killing the Mormon LeBaron family, 9 plus little children, because Mexico has gun control & gun confiscation.

Joy Behar will burn your children alive, defenseless, when she takes your gun.

I recommend this video for a bit of history of the conflict between the Mormons and cartels.

Yes...There’s are many Mormon settlements in that area of Mexico. It’s like an oasis in the middle of the desert.

I think this happened in Mexico. I am not sure how the wall would have made a difference.

*************

Because the lawlessness and will to slaughter is flowing right up into our own neighborhoods at a steady rate of 10s of thousands per year without the wall.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Firstborn_(LeBaron_order)

The Church of the Firstborn (or, the “LeBaron order”) is a grouping of competing factions of a Mormon fundamentalist religious lineage inherited, adherents believe, by a polygamous Latter-day Saint family community that had settled in Chihuahua, Mexico, by Alma Dayer LeBaron Sr. by 1924.

Oh.
So now you wish to play your new little game of “lets pretend”

Let’s pretend that not killing people en mass in front of their families is the same as not killing them.”

No, setter. I will never be joining you in that stupid game. You will have to play it by yourself.

Mass graves? The Italians at least were known for dismembering and then destroying the corpses. Except for public incidents like the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre.

Show you the Hundreds of thousands...
We aren’t Mexico. We take brutal criminals down, so they don’t get to rack up such body counts here. Until they infiltrate Congress and the Intelligence Agencies.

At any rate, the Italian mafia and the Irish gangs weren’t less brutal. They were just faced off against an educated population which could and would rise up and kill their asses if pushed. Eventually the people of the United States got tired of their existence and ended them.

The Lebarons have also opposed the cartels, and refused to pay ransom when a cartel kidnapped a 17 y.o. boy 10 years ago. Although he was released, a brother was murdered in retaliation.

They are also in contention with locals over water rights.

As for their relationship with state and federale government and factions thereof, who knows?

Let’s see how Mitt responds to this.

"Who killed my cousins?"

The mafia never killed innocent people unless by mistake.
Cartels will kill off entire busloads of people or 40 innocent college students. Mafia never killed off hundreds of journalist or politicians.

The Mafia and irish gangs were pikers compared to the cartels.
