ReplyDeleteestos son terroristas no criminales
ReplyDeleteThese people are getting way out of hand,this is terrorism.Grenades?Can't justify that kind of behavior in any society.These people must be rooted out,and put away for ever,or better still shot out of hand on the spot.You forfeit your human rights,when you throw grenades,or ride in convoy with AK47s or AR15s.There is absolutely no justification or right to behave like this.If people want a secure and safe life,the Mexican people have to step up as well.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is interested in the world I am very intrigued by what is happening down in Mexico. I think that guns coming from across the border is terrible. However they do not sell grenades here. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who were affected in this. Keep up the great journalism borderland beat.
ReplyDeleteThat's because Eric Holder and Obama are selling them the guns! Fast and Furious!
