Hidalgo state Gov. Omar Fayad says the death toll from a pipeline explosion in central Mexico has risen to 66.

Over 85 other people on Saturday were listed as missing a day after a massive fireball erupted at an illegal pipeline tap in the small town of Tlahuelilpan, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) north of Mexico City.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched an offensive against fuel theft gangs drilling dangerous, illegal taps into pipelines an astounding 12,581 times in the first 10 months of 2018, an average of about 42 per day.

And these are the fools we want to let into the USA?
How stupid do you need to be to try and tap a pressurized pipeline?

What’s remarkable, is dozens and dozens of people milling around with large plastic containers, seemingly oblivious to the extreme danger. Horrifying.

Well Pilgrim, F’ with the BULL, get the HORN.

I still ‘love it’, speaking with a straight face —the Mexican leadership says it is giving aid and comfort to the ‘invaders’ from the south because they will ‘welcome’ them and give them jobs and bennies....

DUH...shouldn’t you start with ‘corralling’ your own people first and taking care of them?

I managed to put myself in a position with 2 anti DJT people and the wall came up and after my throwing in a couple of ‘shots’ knew I was up against idiocy when a buddy of mine threw in with (he had been ‘toying’ with them)

He said that the wall HAD to be built to keep all the Americans on this side of the border and not going to the ‘paradise’ of Mexico ... OH...you two still got time to get on down there....

PS...I carry and taking my age into consideration, I go out of my way trying to be nonconfrontational and will normally exit when the ‘loud mouths’ start.

PDJT should offer his condolences to the Mexicans etal maimed and killed in advance and then tell the Mex Prez that we will ship 50 illegals (of all sorts) back for every 1 they lost.

For those who didn’t view the video, gas was spewing in a huge fountain as people caught it in containers. Then it exploded and human torches could be seen running from the scene.

The missing 85 are likely very dark toast.

Ahem, non-PC speak detected: “illegal taps”

“UNDOCUMENTED taps.”

There, I fixed it for you.
