The Houston Chronicle ^ | 9 June 2005

Interesting. Might be time for a clean-up job. However, who has the will to clean up?

[AppyPappy]

700 troops and no one there to protect him? Hellloooooo????

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Q. How can you tell if a Mexican cop is honest?

A. By the rigor mortis.

[goldstategop]

The narcos had him killed because he wouldn't take their plata. So he received the plomo. No future Nuevo Laredo police chief will be foolish enough to try to cross them again.

[b4its2late]

The whole country needs an enema. Time for a great wall of the US south and north.................

[AppyPappy]

The next chief will be on the take. They make an "attempt" on his life and then sign an agreement to stop their criminal behavior. Then it's business as usual.

[goldstategop]

Mexico without la mordida ain't Mexico.

[goldstategop]

Yep. In Mexico an honest cop is as rare as a hen's tooth.

[wideawake]

I assume that the culprits were members of his own police force.

How soon will it be before the same thing happens in an American city?

[need_a_screen_name]

Ping!

[Travis McGee]

This quaint Mexican custom will come to America along with the immivasion.

How soon will it be before the same thing happens in an American city?

Very good question. However, our nation's "politically correct" disease will prevent action until it really hurts or is fatal!

America, See thy future - Ping.

It is already here, though on a lesser scale. Once this kind of thing takes root, it is nearly impossible to destroy it. Look at the result of the WOD. There must be corruption for the large amounts to reach our shores. Why are the ingredients for Meth still available over the counter? Shouldn't it require ID to purchase it, with a registry? How do drugs get into prison? Why do the lowest members of a drug ring get serious time, while the top guy gets off scot free?

[fhlh]

Vince Fox is a corrupt man... those 700 troops are prolly there to help the drug runners move the product to the US.

10 bucks says a group of these "troops" killed him...

[in hoc signo vinces]

Uhhhhh...I dunno...the problem with Mexico, is the Mexican Populace. They are largely passive, afraid, and poor with no interest in helping the situation.

In the U.S. the citizenry is quite different...wouldn't go all doom an gloom just yet.

???????

When you look at this alongside Presidente Fox's forced comments on immigration, African Americans and the police murders in Denver I need to laugh. I have never understood why Americans still go on holiday in Mexico while they tolerate this level of crime and corruption domestically. Even the Mexican elite dont live there anymore for fear their kids will be grabbed. As I have said before "guess who owns the hotels" They are looking for assets to roll narco money into. Lets think......hmmm sell drugs take dollars build hotels take dollars. Send our poor North to take dollars and alleviate the domestic political problems as seen in Chiapas. And lets just say you were in trouble there would you feel the police could or would help you!

However, who has the will to clean up?

The US Marines could do it in short order. Of course, sorting out the bad guys from the good guys isn't really their schtick...
