Mexican Cartel-Style Violence Spreading in California over Marijuana Grow Fields
Breitbart ^ | 02/05/2023 | ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

Posted on 02/05/2023 9:01:32 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Contrary to political rhetoric, Mexican-style cartel killings and gun battles appear to have already reached the U.S. and are spreading — particularly in California. The region experienced an explosive growth of cartel marijuana grow operations that are taking advantage of legalization and lax laws.

This week, federal authorities clashed with one of two gunmen who are accused of killing a family of six — including a 16-year-old female and her baby. The murders took place last month in Tulare County, California, in what some authorities have dubbed a cartel killing.

Newsome has strong gun control laws. Nothing to worry about. (S)

Ah, for the sound of A-10s strafing the cartels. Purse music.

Time to kick California out of U.S. Then build a wall around it.

Oops, I had a child-sniffing Biden spasm... that’s “pure music”, not “purse music”.

America’s real enemies, those who truly do us harm, are NEVER confronted. Fentanyl kills almost 100k a year… zilch.. nothing. There should be an all out war on the cartels. They should be droned, their assets droned, their houses torn down, their families imprisoned, subjected to SOF raids… how Israel deals with terrorists. But us? Nope. Nothing.

This is what leads to vigilante justice. While I don’t advocate for it, I would totally understand if the citizens of our communities started taking matters into their own hands regarding cartels and their street gang proxies.

This is NOT new or limited to California.

10 years ago our Sheriff briefed us on mj grows in our Nat'l forests that were being farmed by illegal immigrants who were forced by cartels, under threat to murder their families.

Posted same on FR when many FReepers were still defending legalization as some great societal good, pretending legalization would undermine the cartels....

I know a guy who lives in the far north of the valley.

There are places he can no longer hunt because they’ll just kill you if you go anywhere near a grow

They ship in “trimmigrants” from Mexico to tend the crop for a set price for the season, and then get paid with a bullet to the back of the head.

I thought legalizing it was supposed to stop the cartels and the corruption.

“I would totally understand if the citizens of our communities started taking matters into their own hands...”

Those that do will go to prison where they will not be greeted as friends.

“I thought legalizing it was supposed to stop the cartels and the corruption.”

There was an addendum to that claim. > If you tax the sales too much, the cartels can easily compete and beat your pricing. The states that are taxing too much are where the cartels are active.

I know a piddly, small grower in Colorado. He’s quasi-legal, grows a tiny crop in his basement, 12-16 plants at a time. His growing is legal, some of his selling is not. An ounce costs around $200 at the pot shop, he sells for $150 and makes money. You’ll never get rid of the black market that way. Larger growers have much lower costs.

Same is true North of Spokane, WA.

Cops won't even venture in.

Folks have abandoned $1M properties/cabins after encountering cartels there.

You can shoot the guy in front of you...but not the 3 you can't see behind you.

You get what you vote for


Exactly. You vote for the likes of Newsome, Feinstein, Pelosi, Swalwell, Schiff, Harris...McConnell, Graham, Thune, Rubio, Cornyn, Barasso, Cassidy, McCarthy, Scalise, Mace, both Scott’s,...basically EVERY member of Congress, except for 20 +/- of House members.

Those 20+/- being the ones that folks, even some on here, were being labeled as Terrorists and Obstructionists, etc etc etc.

Some of that stuff is happening in

EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTARY — NARCOFORNIA: How Progressives Sold Out Rural California To Drug Lord ..... https://dailycaller.com/2022/07/26/documentary-video-farms-california-drug-cartels-siskiyou-lassen-county/

Bakersfield is rural, wonder what the Speaker of the House is/has been doing about this.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/mexican-cartels-invading-us-taking-cities-former-dea-special-agent .... Mexican cartels ‘invading’ US, ‘taking over’ cities: Former DEA special agent

Congressman: Illegal Antelope Valley Pot Grows Being Run By International Drug Cartels .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-XCBPMgDUc

At some point, the people...not Congress or the state governments...are going to have to become comfortable or, at least, ignore what needs to be done to stop this.

That being:

1. COMPLETELY SUSPENDING ANY FORM OF DUE PROCESS, CIVIL RIGHTS, CRIMINAL PROCEDUREsending people into these locations

2. shooting anyone that is armed - no questions asked

3. if they offer any type of resistance, shot on site, in front of anyone else there

4. anyone that is not armed is deported the next day

Laugh if you want, but send guys in there like Colonel Kilgore and the Air Cav .... APOCALYPSE NOW Clip - Ride of the Valkyries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn37QfXw1-E

Only way to put a stop to it.
