Cochise County on alert, violence reported in Agua Prieta
January
18, 2014
On Saturday January 18, 2014, at approximately 12:45 a.m., the Cochise County
Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Douglas Port of Entry regarding what
sounded like a gun battle with automatic weapons and possibly hand grenades
south of the United States/Mexico border. The Port of Entry advised that the
sounds lasted until just after 1:00 a.m., and there were no requests for medical
personnel or ambulances to respond to the port.
Information, which was received throughout the day, indicates that a
gun/weapons fight did occur in Agua Prieta, Sonora, south of the US/Mexico
border, where several fatalities occurred in two separate incidents. All
information received indicates that this is probably cartel related with massive
amounts of munitions used to include automatic weapons, 50 caliber weapons, and
hand grenades. Reports of the death toll range from 8-13 people, none of whom
are listed as US Citizens.
According to El Periodico, four people from Sinaloa were killed, and three
people from Agua Prieta were injured.
As a proactive and precautionary measure, the Cochise County Sheriffs Office
has placed personnel on a heightened state of alert, which will allow for the
deployment of additional personnel and the augmentation of existing personnel
should it be determined that this violence may potentially spill over into the
United States via Cochise County’s international boundaries.
Sheriff Dannels said today, “Our information indicates that this is an
internal fight within the confines of the country of Mexico and will most likely
stay there; however, we remain vigilant in our duty to protect our citizens at
all costs. If in fact there are criminal factions that intend to bring their
issues to the United States, we want to assure them that we are working closely
with local, state, and federal agencies to be prepared as necessary and be
successful in our mission to stop any violence from occurring in our
county.”

ReplyDeleteFolks, since we now deal with criminals as we would with moral people, thereby according them full legitimacy, you can honestly say that we have NO government at this time. In this light, it is harder to counter the philosophy of the anarchists. If we have no government, then we already have anarchy and must learn at least how to survive without a government. At least before we can transition to a government that is truly of, by and for the People.
But remember: John Adams said only a moral and Christian people could have such a government.
Can we ever have those conditions again? They seem further away every day.

Comment of Lyle R Come on, folks. No matter what your officials tell you, you must KNOW Americans don't want to legalize illegal aliens with this kind of scum among them. And you had better believe the cartels are HERE NOW. It was recently revealed that the US government is taking sides, supporting the Sinaloa Cartel.
ReplyDeleteAn investigation by El Universal found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs while Sinaloa provided information on rival cartels.
