Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Guess we all can wait and see if this is true or not.
This is the funnest thread I've read in a long time but it's scary sad too, how quickly people are willing to believe rumors off the internet.
If our borders weren’t wide open, and if Mexican drug cartels didn’t already have a stronghold in our major cities, and if bodies weren’t being discovered in mass graves on the Mexico side of the border, I’m sure this story wouldn’t have been so believable. Thankfully, it didn’t happen, but it isn’t farfetched.
(Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement agencies arrested 303 people in 19 states over the past two days in the largest strike against a major Mexican drug trafficking cartel in the United States, officials said on Thursday.
If you had read my post I said clearly, if this is in fact true.
I know where you stand on this issue either way so you wont even have to explain it.
If it becomes true then you will find excuses to protect Obama from not doing his job and if it comes out not to be true you will be right here waiting.
In the post just before yours I offered a public apology if the "story" turns out to be true.
If it is not, then the editors of the Cypress Times are liars and everyone who accepted such BS as fact at rote and repeated it stands with them.
That's where I stand. Call the Webb County sheriff and ask him. I posted the number a while ago.

The Buzz-Examiner is another blog that picked the story up from The Cypress Times, not a newsgathering organization.
Before you find it and waste any more time, the New Patriot Journal and Weasel Zippers also have articles up.
The whole thing is fabrication and utter BullSquat, in other words a baldfaced lie.
I'm going to bed. Type real loud and wake me up if anything happens.
Earlier, I checked out the OP's initial post and the link. I thought it odd it was reported by an anonymous 'reporter' on that site, Cypress Times. That is an online Christian newspaper. Go look to the tab under Mission Statement. This 'newspaper' accepts stories from anyone anywhere.
I followed the links the anonymous 'reporter' on Cypress News referenced. One was the Houston Chronicle and the other was Borderland Beat. Neither said that there was any gunfire on the American side or that American ranches had been seized, occupied, or occupants evacuating. The anti-Mexican blog site, Digger Relm picked up on it and wrote the story that the anonymous writer posted on the Christian newspaper site.
After that I went to the Larado, TX newspaper. It reported on the cartel battle in Nuevo Larado, but there was nothing that had happened on the American side of the border. That story also reported that the Larado PD had been inundated by calls from across the U.S.
I feel for the innocent people on both sides of the border. We all can guess how heinous these cartel members can be. Innocent people are being terrorized and killed when they are in the path of this drug cartel war. I would hope that rather than spread lies you would pray for the innocent people onBOTH sides of the border.
You know, if people would slow down and check some sources they might discern lies from real news. I think the Mexican haters are not interested in truth. They are interested in confirming that the big, bad, brown, boogy-man is coming for you. Their ignorance and lack of logic coupled with xenophobia has turned into hysteria.

It isn't fear of the big, bad, brown boogy-man coming but fear of the drug cartels regardless of the color of their skin. Why is the word "xenophobia" used in the illegal immigration argument anyway? Xenophobia is a fear of strangers. We have been a diverse nation racially and ethnically since this country's founding. Just what group are strangers to this country?

And still not one bit of remorse for the spread of lies. Only excuses and deflection. How cowardly of anyone to not be able to admit they have participated in the spread of lies-----lies that further their agenda.
