Anchorage AK huh, something tells me it’s not going to take long for a certain Govenor to clean things up a bit.
And it’s going to get worse.
It’s a simple marketing issue. They have to protect their markets.
Never go to the city unarmed, you just never know anymore.
Meanwhile schools in my Michigan county want more money for bilingual teachers because of a 16% spike in the number of non english speaking students in the last few years.
Money for border enforcement is being reduced and the 800 mile fence promised by Washington is now to be 200 miles........maybe. It’s time for the wise to prepare for life in the USSA.
Does The One have a position on the legalization of drugs? I’m amazed that the drug problem never was raised during the campaigns. That tells you how powerful the drug traffickers are—that they can keep the issue out of the “debate.”
“Mexican organizations that deal drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin”
That’s what i wanted to know- looks like they have the spectrum of drugs covered. It’s not just pot.
They just noticed this, huh?
“Tonight at eleven: new evidence that it is darker at night than in the daytime!”
Good. I missed the first two.
Cancel it. Better safe than sorry. There’ll be more customers...
Pot's the big one though. The ONDCP recently estimated that around 62% of their gross proceeds from drug sales to Americans are from pot. The next most popular drug was cocaine. About 28% of their gross proceeds were coming from that, less than 8% from meth and less than 3% from heroin. Unlike cocaine, these people actually produce the marijuana they sell so marijuana accounts for probably more than 62% of their total net proceeds from drug sales to Americans.
We’ve been pussy footing around the gang issue for decades, and the problem is finally going ballistic.
Is this supposed to surprise anyone?
Now it’s time to disarm the public, now that the gangs have their networks set up.
Obama, the answer to what ails us... (someone give me a barf bag)

Interesting info, thanks.
I figured that historically there has always been pot smuggled in from Mexico; I was curious if they had branched out at all.
It’s a lot of violence and crime over a weed that makes people mellow, sleepy and hungry.
And over a weed that you could easily grow in your window box or front yard planting bed if it weren't for the cops ready to inflict even more violence against you for doing so.
Imagine what could happen if we had the guts to cut off over 60% of the cartels' income.
