The "game" needs to be reinstated, but in a real fashion.

Officer Cesar Quitana patrols a dangerous barrio in Juarez, Mexico. He is armed with an M16 assault rifle -- a weapon that would be no match in a gunfight with drug lords.

"I think most of us feel scared just to bring this with us," he says, pointing to the rifle in the front seat of his patrol car. "But this is what we use to defend ourselves."

An M16 no match. WTFO sounds like those boys need to learn how to shoot.

I say they can go get bent. They want our help with guns going south. Well we have wanted their help for decades with drugs and illegals. We already give the Mexican Gov enough money if they have a problem they can fix it.

The weapon, a Barrett, was seized in an ATF raid. A round fired from 100 yards away tore through a car door and both sides of a bulletproof vest like those used by Mexican police.

No kidding jack. I seem to think it could go a wee bit further that a measly
100 yds.

Heck, the cops and other officials turn a blind eye to the illegals and drugs that get smuggled up here a do all sorts of damage to our citizenry. So some ot them get shot by weapons smuggled down there. Just think of it as one of the provisions of NAFTA.

Two years ago the druggies baited Tijuana cops to Ensenada and killed them. They cut off their heads and dumped the bodies at a bus depot in Tj.

Last year the locals cops had MaDeuce in sand bag revetments at choke points on several highways, and shooters to back up the guy stopping traffic. I passed thru those check points about 20 times and could not summon the guts to take pictures. I didn't get stopped by them but a guy I know did. He lived. Not a druggie. There is very serious effort to kill those badholes. I think the cops have a mad on for a long time. I talked to a pickup load of them armed with M-16s and flak gear. It's a war zone down along the border in more ways than one.

I seem to recall a story about some men armed with bolt action rifles storming
machine gun nests in Belleau Wood some time ago.

I hear you can get good nicknames from doing such things.

Jr I could not agree with you more.

I have not been to Mexico in many years, but the conditions that exist today are the results of corupt government officals willing to look the other way for a few pesos more.
Now that the chickens have come home to roost they are whining for our help. sounds like the Mexicans need to step up and take care of business.
