Once again the Mexican border city of Reynosa was the stage of violent firefights. Gulf Cartel gunmen exchanged gunfire barrages with Mexican police and military forces. However, the Tamaulipas government remains quiet about the casualties.

The shoot-outs were reported by citizen journalists earlier this week in various areas of the city. The reports pointed to various trucks filled with gunmen exchanging gunshots with police and military. Additional gunmen responding to the scenes of the shoot-outs.

The City of Reynosa even sent out an alert on social media warning the public about a “situation of risk” along Boulevard Hidalgo. This is one of the main roads that crosses the city. The message warned citizens to avoid the areas near Narciso Mendoza and Caracoles neighborhoods.

They can be obtained at the single gun shop in Mexico City at the military HQ. Or, simply dial 877-freeguns to be connected to eric the red.

Only law-abiding Mexican citizens are prohibited from possessing firearms.

Would not want the job of Mexican citizen-journalist. Hats off to them, though.

“The story began in Renosa
A village in old Mexico
A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were sweethearts, a long time ago
They made big plans for a wedding
The town of Renosa would go
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
Married to Sarah Sero
Oh-oh-oh”

Then he got into a drug gang shootout.

*******

But I thought that the Trump haters assured us positively that illegals---contrary to what Trump said---don't bring their drugs and crime with them. I guess they say that because there is no drug dealing or other crime in Mexico along the Mexican border. (sarcasm)

That is, the Trump haters have assured us that illegals crossing the Mexican border were completely innocent and pure as snow.

The Trump haters could not be wrong, could they?

That is what it is going to take to restore any rule of Law to Mexico, and I hope what comes out on the other side is better because there are no guarantees.
