Juarez Citzens Command = CCJ
I guess that’s like the NCAAP ?
The poll asked the question With violence raging in Juarez, is vigilantism the answer? What follows are the results of that poll after a total of 2,547 respondents:
Yes, nothing else has worked, and its time for the people to take matters into their own hands. 59%
Im not sure, but at this point, its probably worth a try. 29%
No, innocent people could get hurt. 16%
I find the math shocking 59+29+16=104%
As a libertarian, I believe in the legalization of pot. It’s no different than legalizing alcohol. During the prohibition, there were “speakeasy’s”, “bathtub gin” and “stills” throughout America. Guys like Joe Kennedy made fortunes and financed his son(s) rise in politics. He could have been put out of business (or never had a business) if there were no prohibition. Imagine America without the Kennedy Cartel! Imagine what kind of vile political scum can/will come of illegal pot and the billions it generates to it’s cartel!
“It worked in Skidmore.”
Indeed it did.
Oh yes, past time. I grew up on the Texas border, don’t think there haven’t been lots of shots being fired across that river already. Not to mention rancher friends protecting themselves and their families on our own ground.
When the government does not do its duty, the people must take action or be slaughtered. Do you think I’m going to sit around on my hands while roving bands of Mexican outlaws do their will ON OUR GROUND??
I believe it was AuntB that posted some graphic pix of the results of what’s going on, that should rattle some of your cages a bit.
While stationed at Ft. Bliss (’68), we’d go across the border for a drink. A little bar called the Kentucky Club, no less.
We also took in a show in Paso at a theater near the border. Between movies, there was a pipe organ that came up from under the stage and filled the air with beautiful music.
Guess those days are long gone, just like the rest of this country.
Juan McCain has a solution. Just bring all of the Mexican thugs to the US. Support them, pay for their health care, give them free housing and ask them to please, please, please be nice!
Yep, legalize drugs and tax them. Criminals would at least be poor. Wonder what drug dealers would turn to?
Time for the old West to rise again. Throw out the liberal governing bodies and start civilizing the place. That is the only way we can bring law and order to the lawless.
“Mexico is an absolute mess. Unfortunately, the leaky borders mean we are inheriting that mess.”
....yep, and it’s gonna get worse....remember the “boat people” of the 70s?....get ready for the “foot people” from Mexico...there be so many that they’ll have to be turned back at gunpoint and they’ll resist at gunpoint....call out the National Guard and suppose the Hispanic members go over or go home?....Mexico’s collapse means another milestone on the road to the coming race war in America.
Probably politics, you know legalized looting and plundering
Has the United Nations demanded a ceasefire yet?
But seriously, folks, the disorder at the Border does mean it will be really hard for Presidente Zero and Congress to push for open-border amnesty anytime soon. Let in more feuding drug gangs? There will be so many calls and faxes to Congress, no one in D.C. will be able to order pizza.
Wonder what drug dealers would turn to?
black market untaxed drugs.
I think its a good idea. And if you study Mexican history,,,it’s not THAT different than the situation in the pre-revolution days 100 years ago.
Mexico has had a long history of fed-up abused people finally rising up violently. Its not widely realized, but the Mexican revolution is one of the Bloodiest as a percentage of population in all modern history.
The Mexican government needs to sit up and take notice, or risk being the next Carranza.
Ay Chihuahua! and I can tell you,, admiration of Pancho Villa is very alive and well there. And the essense of Villa is someone who fights back. Don’t lecture me on whether you think Villa was a common criminal or a Mexican Robin Hood. Im referring to how *they* see him.
The stories are apocryphal. Such as, “Villa never became personally enriched though he easily could have”.
“Villa started by first killing a man raping his younger sister”
“Rich man got poor girl pregnant, Villa found him, forced him to marry her under threat of death,,,and promised to check back every year to be sure she was well treated.”
On and on,,, the narco-trafficantes were tolerated and even idolized when the regular people were left alone. But these guys will be dealt with very soon, because they’ve crossed the line and terrorized the normal “joes” down there. Pablo Escobar at least had sense enough to build hospitals, schools, sponsor soccer teams,, etc,,, hearts and minds,, so he had a lot of people who were on his side later while being hunted. The Mexican gangs have screwed theirselves. Its far from over,, but they are about to get hit hard.
This vigilante movement might be very real,, and it might spread. This is def going to be interesting, and Americans in the southwest really should buy a pistol if they are some kind of oddball, and don’t already have one.
Oddly, i think Obama (i shudder to think what the Mexican nickname for him will be) will be pretty rough on them. Leftists are fairly quick to resort to force to prove how they aren’t wusses.
This is just the opinion of one set of headlights on a busy city freeway.
Hope Blackwater has an auxiliary office there to help?
You saw the movie at the Plaza Theater which has the mighty Wurlitzer. Remember the starry roof?
Before they rechanneled the river you could park and walk across, paying 1 cent to go over and 2 cents to come back.
I spent many afternoons at the Kentucky Club (on the left as you go over). We also spent many evenings getting hammered at the Lobby.
In 1960 a shot of tequila was a nickel. You could take a date for dinner and drinks with rum and cokes at 35 cents and a great steak for $1.85.
You could buy a skull ring or a leather wallet at one of the many street stands and even what we called "hot books".
An afternoon spent down at Pig Alley watching porn flicks like Candy Barr and the Vacuum Cleaner Salesman.
Ahh, the good old day.
More guys will get married down there than in Iraq. Same civilization you know.
Did you know that car sales are going through the roof in Iraq? Ford should build a plant there. No unions!
