Drug cartels ambushed and murdered a number of Americans, mothers and their infant children, in northern Mexico yesterday.
A vehicle belonging to members of a Mormon family and traveling north through the Mexican state of Sonora was riddled with bullets and burned. They were reportedly on their way to a wedding in the United States as part of a family caravan. Rhonita Maria LeBaron was killed, along side her twin babies and two other children. Christina Langford Johnson, Dawna Langford and two of her children were also murdered in a separate attack. During and after the ambush, other children escaped and reportedly hid on the side of the road as their relatives were massacred.
Lafe Langford Jr., Dawna's nephew, posted video of the vehicle on Facebook and pleaded for help.
"To the citizens of the United States Of America, Mexico and to HUMAN BEINGS across the world....THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY THAT IS HAPPENING NOW..NEW DETAILS ARE ARRIVING BY THE SECOND....THIS IS ONGOING. AS OF NOVEMBER 4TH 7:00 PM CENTRAL TIME.....it is with heavy hearts and unspeakable sadness we inform you that the 2 missing Mothers Christina Langford and Dawna Langford along with many of their precious INNOCENT children have been slaughtered and gone to their Rest. We've had no help from the powers and authorities that be as of yet ....one of the older boys escaped with 6 of his siblings and he was able to run home to La Mora Municipio Bavispe Sonora Mexico after leaving his wounded, bleeding, and bullet ridden brothers and sisters hiding behind trees from the ONGOING shootout between the cartels. Teenagers and adults have been scrambling into the mountains to find our loved ones..risking their very own lives....while help is nowhere to be found... GOD HELP US IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY," he wrote. "Attention all of the World. We are a community of US citizens that live and operate between Mexico and the United States we are under attack as we speak by the cartels in Mexico... We have been petitioning the American embassies in Mexico all day long to no Avail... we need this to be shared and the whole world to witness the atrocious inhumane and barbaric acts that were committed against us today, Rhonita Miller and her 4 children were shot up and burned to death in this vehicle and at this very moment there are TWO more suburbans with 2 of our families totaling 2 wives and 10 children that are missing and/or kidnapped by the cartel..... We need help immediately!!"
More from the Daily Mail:
In last night’s massacre, Rhonita Maria LeBaron was traveling to Phoenix when her car broke down, according to relatives.
Gunmen opened fire and torched her vehicle causing the gas tank to explode where she died along with her twin six-month-old babies, Titus and Tiana and two more of her children Krystal, 10, and Howard, 12.
Eight miles ahead, Christina Langford Johnson, 31, Dawna Ray Langford, 43, and two of Dawna's children, Trevor, 11, and Rogan, 3, were also killed in other SUVs. Other family members are still unaccounted for.
Mexican authorities have confirmed the deaths of at least five people and have launched an investigation. Early reports and community members say nine people were killed or are missing.
For more than a decade, Colonia LeBaron in Chihuahua has managed to survive in a region engulfed by the drug war. Today, at least 7 members of this Mormon colony were killed & burned in neighboring Sonora (3 women, 7 children) Others are disappeared. Most are dual US/MX citizens https://t.co/IRqnZ3VUcu— José Díaz-Briseño (@diazbriseno) November 5, 2019
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has not released a statement.
To repeat the question, how would a wall have helped IN THIS CASE?
I try not to let movies and tv be my source of knowledge but just recently there was a series where Mormon colonies/missions were being used by the cartels to transport drugs as they traveled back and forth. Almost had this very scenario if I remember right.
Yep, it's a narco terrorist third world country with bad people entering our country thru a porous border, rapists and murderers included -as Trump honestly said.
Well, this may sound cold but, Your in Mexico... You got to pay the bite.. You need cops.?? Pay the man.. Maybe you get help, maybe you don't...
That is completely ridiculous as it is irrelevant here.
The Mormons in question have lived in this part of Mexico for a hundred years. Missionary trips they may take to other places are unrelated to what just happened to them here because they were at home.
These weren’t Americans traveling in Mexico.
These are Mexican Mormons who had anchor baby children.
Will we ever openly fight the Mexican drug cartels in Mexico? It seems like that is what needs to be done.
It is easy to assume this is a missionarry out reach but this is a colony.

Recently reading local county atlas in Ohio, there is a reason the Mormon were moved on from communities. They were like muslims. a few would move in, make some converts and then the rest would move into the town and county and take it over economically/politically/culturally. Really pissed off the locals and then they would be run out of town. Happened again and again.
No doubt the cult had ties to Mexico, we’ll see if anything comes from the trial, but my faith in the American Justice system is uncertain.
The strongly opposed drug use/distribution and were killed for their convictions.
Well, I don't think the democrats would like it if we started destroying their assets down Mexico way.. I mean, the war on drugs is OK with them as long as THEY get to choose which drug dealers get whack and which ones don't...
Doesn’t mean they deserve to be slaughtered. What did those six month old twins do to anybody?
Interesting info on the heritage of the self-appointed ultimate authority on morality in America, Mitt Romney.
Acts of war that have to be answered with the force to destroy the cartels.
I was speaking to motive: perhaps the cartels were cutouts or paid to do the killings by others...?
VERY SAD but... live in third world country, live above the means of the locals, and then piss off the wrong people.
Sorry but these people whether they called themselves Mexicans, Mexican Americans, World Citizens or whatever were a distinct alien group within an established endemic culture. They looked, acted and behaved differently than the native population. When this phenomena occurs anywhere, regardless of the religious, social or political motivation of the newcomers, there is more often than not eventual barbaric violence and massacres. Read history. There is also a large Hasidic settlement in Mexico. They too are in danger.
BTW do Mormons send their young people as missionaries into Muslim countries? One would hope not.
Drugs! Human trafficking! Drug pusher! Cartels! Gangs! Violence!
When the cartels start shooting up innocent Americans in US city streets and in their suburban homes, these morons will...what? Look to their Democrat Party officials for more brainwashing!
Such people are too stupid to understand what's going on. If they weren't, they wouldn't have allowed themselves to be brainwashed--and parasitized--by a gang of self-serving, power-hungry politicians in the first place.
It won't do any good to say, "I told you so." They'll be too stupid and too brainwashed to comprehend it all even in retrospect.
Support President Trump, and prepare to protect yourself and your family.
The greatest danger to the USA and the American People is the Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil: the Democrat Party, which is the enabler of such violence in the USA.
And keep telling the truth to everyone. Maybe together we can penetrate the density of the morons' stupidity and the brainwashing.
And keep praying. God hears our prayers.
After being there a hundred years, that whole newcomer thing is pretty much a laughable claim.
The response will come. Give it time.
Very interesting thread.Bump.
