You do not mess with the Mexican drug cartels. Build the freaking wall.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Ah yes because legalizing marijuana will end illicit trafficking

Legal MJ in CA is so costly and over-regulated it is just about as easy to buy the illegal stuff.

Illegal pot growing
Big cash accumulation
Murderous drug gangs

Sounds like an episode of Sons of Anarchy.

Unlike many neighboring homes, it had neither a gate nor a “no trespassing” sign at the entrance.

Is that supposed to make it OK that they were killed? Probably white victims.

For the most part, it’s the cartels that run the industry in Calif. Once pot was legalized, they just moved their operations north of the border. The border fence actually protects them from their competitors now. Riverside Co. sheriffs counted some 3000 illegal grows recently, if my memory serves me. They shut 10 down, 20 more spring up. Plant ‘nurseries’ are making a killing selling tunnel tents and other grow supplies. The plants are just window-dressing.

Like border patrol agents, the sheriffs are under constant threat by cartels. Their kids go to the same schools as the children of cartel members. Their wives go to doctors and dentist offices that employs wives and daughters of cartel members. Because California has no enforcment of rules on employing or schooling illegals.

This illegal activity is nurtured by the ‘liberals’ brilliant idea that only blacks and messcans should control the industry - as ‘reparations’ aka normalizing and legitimizing criminality of minorities. (The blacks will be the loser in that one, just like they lost Compton and most major cities to messicans). Americans, the legal ones, are outnumbered and outgunned by people who believe money is power, power is everything, and who have no concept of the sanctity of life. We seriously need the feds to start crawling all over SoCal and up Gavin Newsom’s butt because the status quo shows no end in sight.

Yikes! My brother and his wife live in Aguanga!

The dead and wounded were all Laotian, if I read the article correctly.

If so, then that says to me that Chinese organized crime is moving or has moved into the area.

Might be Chinese gang vs Chinese gang or Chinese vs Mexican cartels.
