Northern Arizona authorities say two Mexican nationals have been arrested for allegedly trying to disable freight trains moving through the Flagstaff area.
BNSF spokeswoman Lena Kent said the first burglary was reported near Williams Friday.
Crooks cut the brake hoses on a train to disable it in order to offload a shipment of televisions, but were caught in the act. All except one got away.
The second burglary was reported near Winona east of Flagstaff. Again, brake hoses were cut on a BNSF train. This time, burglars wanted computer equipment from a train car.
Mexican nationals. Banditos. Why am I not surprised??
Hey, maybe we can try to take control of the border?
They knew what was on those trains. Inside info?
In other words....
Rancher shot and killed in Southern Arizona. Two attempted train robberies. All by illegals from Mexico.
This wouldn’t happen in the USA......oh wait.
“Hey, maybe we can try to take control of the border?”
Don’t be silly. Why not take the progressive approach? All we need to do is to lower their healthcare costs, fund their student loans, sell ‘em Chevys for cost, and they’ll cut our lawns and pick our lettuce out of gratitude.
That's what I was wondering. How'd they know? Or was it whatever happened to be on the particular cars they targeted?
Arizona again? Gezzzz...The place is crawling with illegals....Probably got embolden after the McCain Campaign events.
Hey, just make ‘em citizens - they can get all the goodies from our Gummint.
Cue old Quick Draw McGraw cartoons...
lol
They knew it wasn’t lettuce
These taco grinders must have been watching too many old Western movies.
Robbie Biggs had the sense to have an escape plan to Brazil. These “frijoleros” evidently have more balls than brains.
Had to be those racist TEA partiers...
“Hey, maybe we can try to take control of the border?”
Not a Chance, We Need The War on Drugs, closing the border would end the war. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN
“They knew what was on those trains. Inside info?”
Cousins Jose’ and Pedro probably loaded them.
Yep, and then thoughtfully tagged the cars with some identifying symbol that blended in with the other graffiti - unless you know what to look for.
Looks like the railroad needs some Pinkerton men.
Just illegal aliens robbing trains Americans won’t rob. Give them amnesty and move on.
The Banditos are asking for trouble I say.
Are we supposed to cede Northern Arizona to MexiNarco??
Why does this story conjure up visions of lawmen riding in stagecoaches when they were hauling gold?
Pretty brazen
until this kicks in
Arizona Revised Statutes §40-856 Railroad police; powers; qualifications; liability of company
(http://law.justia.com/arizona/codes/title40/00856.html)
To wit:
Any railroad company may appoint one or more persons to be designated by such railroad company as railroad police to aid and supplement the law enforcement agencies of this state in the protection of railroad property and the protection of the persons and property of railroad passengers and employees. While engaged in the conduct of his employment, each railroad policeman so appointed shall possess and exercise all law enforcement powers of peace officers in this state.
This administration hasn't seen and illegal or terrorists that they don't like.
What gets me is the Arizona governor(forget the RINO bitches name)is screaming for Bozo to use the national guard on the border when she has the power to do that herself. She is merely making noise in order to seem conservative since elections are coming up soon.
That is exactly right. The GOP makes noise but they usually fail to deliver.
Another reason why America needs to accept civilian militias.
My thought is that Arizona Rangers can solve the problem much the same way as I have suggested for Texas Rangers.
My solution to the problem is the Texas Rangers. At their founding, they routinely took care of Mexican Criminals harassing Texans.
As was noted on this forum earlier, the Rangers have morphed into an investigative agency, but the old form could easily be revived. Large numbers of men could be deputized as Rangers and put to work killing intruders as did the Rangers of old.
There is a large pool of trained men..... the Texas National Guard. If the Guard members were deputized as Rangers, they would lose all trace of Federal Military posse comitas taint and act at the Governor’s orders.
I wonder, do only Texas and Arizona have Rangers?
We do have Arizona Rangers.
