SNIPPET: “CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Authorities in southern Arizona have found a deputy wounded in a shootout with suspected drug smugglers after a frantic hour-long desert search.
The Pinal County deputy reported he had been shot in the abdomen while patrolling a remote desert area often used by drug- and human-smugglers from Mexico, Pinal County sheriff’s Lt. Tammy Villar said.
She said authorities believe he was shot with a AK-47.
The deputy was airlifted to a hospital. His condition was not immediately known, Villar said.”
Oops...thanks (but not via email).
I know... I wonder how many of them realize it is May Day and they are celebrating socialists/communists and anarchists? As well as celebrating what used to be a pagan holiday? Not many I’d bet... But, you can be sure their organizers do... (Watch... Obama will probably be in a good mood tomorrow (or a fake bad one...).
Everyone in Arizona (and everyone in all the cities where there are protests tomorrow) are in my prayers.
Do we know if the hispanic that beat that Irish girl with a baseball bat in Chicago a few days ago was illegal or not?
For those of you who don't know a hispanic "man" beat two women with a baseball bat because he "needed" drug money. One girl recovered, the other is in a coma fightining for her life.
Yeah, they all come here to work...
I can guarantee you will see thousands of mexican flags flying. unless ACORN and the other rats actually hand out American Flags God forbid.
Cindy — I haven’t verified this in written reports yet (am looking again in a minute), but word at Gov. Brewer’s FB profile (from a “fan” in the comments section) says that the officer was awake, and expected to make it when he was airlifted to the hospital.
I’ll ping you if I find an updated report if you’d like.
Sheriff Joe...one of my personal favorites.
Thank you Aunt B.
I’d love an update Liberty Rock when you get it.
I’ll be back on the internet later tonight and will collect the pings.
THANK YOU.
Hope they catch the punks who did this.
They will be very upset they missed the protest tomorrow.
prayers out
“They are following a person with a rifle”.
He is supposed to announce his run for governor soon. By Monday I believe.
You know they will (if they’re smart) carry US Flags. they supposedly want citizenship. But, the crowds will not be managed by ACORN, I don’t believe. I think it will be the folks from La Raza and the “A.N.S.W.E.R.” coalition and the likes... honest to goodness Communists, Socialists (as if in this day and age they’re a different breed), and Anarchists.
Remember the Che flag in Obama’s offices...
AK huh, is that the latest supplies for poor “migrant” workers sneaking across the border.
sounds like we now have a situation where the illegals are going to lure cops into an ambush.
NOW, all pretenses of a non-violent demonstration are over.
“Guy located with the “shotgun” was a rifle, not the guy they are looking for. They’re still looking.”
Now we know what drug smuggling illegals do in Az. If we didn't already know.
This also proves that the new law was a threat to them.
I wonder what Shakira has to say about this! Stupid broad!
These people are sick...
