Suspected cartel members involved in human smuggling and armed with AK-47s have been taunting Texas Army National Guard soldiers at the southern border in recent days, officials told Fox News.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said there have been multiple instances over the past several days of suspected cartel gunmen wearing tactical vests and armed with AK-47s standing in and near the Rio Grande River in Starr County, Texas.

Mexico has very restrictive gun laws. Yet cartel members can roam around openly at the border, armed with AK-47s. A wonder how a liberal would explain that.

Anyway, thanks to Biden and his handlers, we’ll have even more of those guys roaming around on our side of the border.

Their tactical vests won’t stop .50 Caliber machine gun rounds of the National Guard.

Gotta be careful with that. With woke generals now running the Pentagon, Spooky just might be ordered to fire on the Texas National Guard.

(Making a comment like that would have been inconceivable a couple of years ago. But now, it fits. How scary is that?)

Well, taunt right back.
You could add a Barrett .50 cal.

Are the NG actually allowed to carry bullets? We disarmed all of our soldiers on our military bases

Texas has full fledged gunboats on the river.

I wonder if the Guard is even armed. Maybe a Freeper Texas Guardsman can fill us in on that.

The Mexican government is controlled by the cartel what are you talking about! Why do you think they have not stop the caravans from approaching our borders? The cartel are a powerful billion dollars military style gang! They will not hesitate to take out your whole family they don’t care where even in funerals weddings etc. The Mexican people have been terrorized by the cartel for a number of years. They have even gone as far as killed any candidate that talks against the cartel who are running for president governor mayor etc. even the police department is not safe from them. I am so fearful for our country very fearful and you should too. Nothing stands in the way of these evil evil bastards from entering and terrorizing border towns. I feel in my gut that’s the next step. Nobody’s defending us I’m sorry but when the National Guard just sits there and let the cartel shoot at them and cross people across the Rio Grande it’s a lost cause. Many of the caravans have hidden terrorists crossing our border so don’t be surprised when everything goes 💥!

It seems to me that war has been declared. An invasion has ensued and we have been conquered. As planned by Barry Sotrero.

There's a reason napalm was invented.

Mexico is 10 000X more dangerous than China - and El Salvador and Honduras are worse.

No doubt the bye-done regime would order citizens killed to protect their ‘interests’.

Are there any regulations/laws about the NG shooting across the border? Are they allowed to shoot at anyone (including invaders)? We are so sc***wed.

The NG was not intimidated. They even put on a picture show for the nice cartel men. They held up the images and pointed to the sky behind them while making hand signs indicating eyes and a distance of 6 miles.

Cartel men quickly left the area.

One of the reported images captured by a bystander :

Spookies were retired in the 90s and are currently occupying space in some bone yard. Modern version is AC-130 Ghostrider pictured above.
