This is why we have to protect our own Borders!!!!

DASHY

We must protect our borders against Mexican Cartels and other criminals. Some of these bad hombres are smarter than Trump. Gangs have used commercial power tools to cut through the new parts of Trump's great big beautiful expensive impenetrable wall along our Mexican border. Time for plan B?

Could this be pay back by the Cartel for capturing Ovidio Guzman, El Chapo’s son

On Thursday afternoon, October 17, one of the biggest stories in the ongoing saga of the Mexican Drug War occurred.
That day in the city of Culiacan in Sinaloa, police and soldiers from the Mexican government arrested Chapo “El Chapo” Guzman’s son, Ovidio Guzman.
And what happened next might as well have come right out of a movie.

Ovidio Guzman is not only El Chapo’s son, but a high-level trafficker in the Sinaloa Cartel who was indicted by the US Justice Department in February on drug trafficking charges.
When the cartel found out El Chapo’s son had been arrested and taken, they decided to act.
The cartel started fighting and causing mayhem all over the city to recapture Chapo’s son from the government. It looked like something you’d expect to see happening in Syria, not a Mexican city.

On Thursday in the Sinaloan city of Culiacan, the cartel gunmen were everywhere.
They openly drove in trucks with mounted machine guns, blockaded streets flashing their Kalashnikovs and burned trucks unleashing plumes of smoke like it was a scene in Syria.
They took control of the strategic points in the metro area, shut down the airport, roads, and government buildings and exchanged fire with security forces for hours, leaving at least eight people dead.

At one point in the chaos and confusion, cartel members even went into a prison, freed around 50 inmates, armed some of them, and recruited them to help them fight the government.
Civilians in the area were forced to stay inside and hide or find some sort of refuge.
Some weren’t even able to get home and had to hunker down in stores and restaurants as the city escalated into a total warzone.
There were videos and transcripts of cartel members radioing the government forces and demanding them to give up El Chapo’s son or their families would be murdered.
And there were reports that members of the military had their family members taken hostage.
Eventually, the government forces decided to release Ovidio in order to avoid more bloodshed.
When it was officially announced my jaw dropped.
I was in utter disbelief.
The next morning, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico gave a statement justifying the decision of Mexican security forces to release El Chapo’s son under pressure from the cartel.

How come nobody is responding to this tragedy???? Could it happen here ??

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

It might be !! But it also might be a warning not to screw with Cartels and also and for us to stop interfering with their business!!

If our "do nuthn' Congress" would work with President Trump situations like this would be minimized.

F**e stream media, RINO's and DINO's are hoping no one makes the
"Big Daddy>George Romney-Chihuahua-Mormon Colony" connection

Correct. And if we are willing to go all the way to the Middle East to have a war, why can’t we stay here and have one ?

Very strange. In Mexico it is illegal to own a firearm unless you are a cop or a soldier. I wish someone would show this to that Yorker billionaire Mike Bloomberg. He's been trying to buy our Vermont legislature for the past several years so he can get them to pass all sorts of restrictions on guns. It obviously does not make folks safer. This is really tragic.
