...one law enforcement officer, speaking on condition that his name not be used, told The Brownsville Herald that the two-day toll “easily” passed 100...

A Texas businesswoman, who was in Matamoros running errands, reported being in the downtown area when a shootout erupted just a block away. The woman reported hearing machine guns and over 20 seconds of continuous grenade explosions... Another woman said that while she was walking near the Pumarejo General Hospital in Matamoros, she saw a truck with armed gunmen collide with an SUV carrying a family. The woman stated that the impact rolled the SUV on its side. She said at least two gunmen got out of their vehicle and fired on the SUV as well as on a military helicopter that was chasing them. The woman said she was also fired upon as she ran for cover but was not struck.

“You would think we were in Iraq or in a movie,” she said. “Everyone was scared, gunfire everywhere, panic and chaos.”

A man who was in the downtown area reported seeing a group of armed men take over a “pecera” — a type of bus — and order the driver to park it in a way that would block the street. As soon as the driver stopped the vehicle, the man heard a single shot. After the gunmen left, the man took a closer look and saw that the driver had been shot in the head.

The narcotraficantes are moving their families here to Texas and California because it is too dangerous for them in Mexico. I know someone who just sold his house in San Antonio to a Mexican for a couple of million, no mortgage, cash at closing. They are here, bigtime. The army shoots at them down Mexico way when the payoffs to Calderon and his politicos and the police slow down. Up here the American army does not shoot at them, it is much safer for the cartel here, and there are probably enough officials on the take here to have a quiet enough life. Soon though the turf wars will expand so much the Zetas and Gulf and Sinaloa cartels will start shooting it out Bhagdad style here too.

I’m glad to see that you are sitting square in the saddle once again.

Thank you most humbly.

"Park officials know they're there but only issue warnings to hikers and campers not to stray too far off the beaten path or they'll get killed by the cartel guards."

Yes, I know. The U.S. Federal Government has already ceded the National Parks to illegal aliens and "armed criminals"--and all the land in Arizona just south of Phoenix. I'm well aware of the sign posted.

If the American people continue to tolerate this, the U.S.A. will fall. The result will be horrible. Most Americans cannot imagine how bad it will be.

I know.

I have relatives who are big Leftists. They're also (obviously) very stupid. They can't grasp the meaning of all this.

I did get a transient reaction from them when I asked where they're going to hide their daughter when armed drug gangs start shooting it up and takeover the streets where they live--"under the bed?" I asked--they fretted briefly but immediately drifted back into their stupor.
