Their depth is amazing. You take out 1 today, and two more will be there tomorrow.
Finally, the amount of money being moved is incredible. They are buying protection from everyone.
For at least a hundred years.
As long as the appropriate hands are greased, they can be the hoards of Hell in the flesh, no one cares outside a few fuddy-duddies.
Send each with a case of ammo, and don’t let them come back till they were out

It’s always been the problem of HS. They don’t have a defined mission. Other than enforce the patriot act, which is wide open. So they can pretty much do whatever. Arrest whoever. Call them a terrorist. And hold them forever without charges. Some of us were pointing out this problem way back in 2001. It was bound to happen eventually.
Because they are selling the ammo to drug cartels?
A weak response to a medium sized mob. Tells me no one in power wanted to keep order. The guys in helmets were had some level of protection
That sounds like one of the major subplots in the original “Robocop”!
Start off with the arrest of Mayor Beetlejuice.
Incredible likeness of you ask me.
