A chilling message from the cartels: Billboards with hanging mannequins warning...
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 05/24/2014 1:18:49 AM PDT by kelly4c

Two billboards along highways in El Paso, Texas were vandalized and had mannequins hanging off of them

One reads 'silver or lead' in Spanish which is taken to mean that police and business owners can either take drug cartels' bribes or die

Worries spreading that cartels that have ruled Mexican border towns with violence may be headed north

This can’t be. El Paso is one of the safest cities in the country, according to the dimwit Joe Garcia.

Here’s a novel idea. Take some of those predator drones and bring them back from Pakistan and start putting a few Hellfire missiles up the cartel’s azz. What’s Mexico going to do about it? Hold a lost marine hostage?

So the narrative on this is only about immigration? Figures. Of course it has nothing to do with the narrative that legalizing drugs would “quell crime & do away with cartel incentives”.
I was told on FR for the past 2 years that legalizing drugs would make the world safer & bring down crime in the US.
No one would listen to me about the cartel violence already happening here. That’s okay though, because this is only a result of bad immigration policy, right guys? Wink wink.

Thank goodness they put a dummy in the noose. We all know a noose by itself is racist. And who is the idiot tgat actually cooked up the theory that it is people protesting the war on drugs?

This does not play well in Texas. Texas is not California and threats against civilians and police are probably not what you want to do.

Sheesh, what drama queens.
