The five dead men lay scattered about the living room of one apartment in a complex of hundreds. Some of the men showed signs of torture: Burns seared into their earlobes revealed where modified jumper cables had been clamped as an improvised electrocution device. Adhesive from duct tape used to bind the victims still clung to wrists and faces, from mouths to noses.
As a final touch, throats were slashed open, post-mortem.



It didn't take long for Curry and federal agents to piece together clues: A murder scene, clean save for the crimson-turned-brown stains now spotting the carpet. Just a couple of mattresses tossed on the floor. It was a typical stash house.


But the cut throats? Some sort of ghastly warning. Curry would soon find this was a retaliation hit over drug money with ties to Mexico's notorious Gulf Cartel.

I have not doubt that beheadings will be coming to a neighborhood near all of us soon.

It's long past time to end the ludicrous, rights-eroding "War on Drugs."

IMO... this is the only type of wall that can really keep them out... they seem to scale/penetrate the chain link and sheet metal pretty easily. I wonder what it costs for this design...

I have no Idea what the cost is really. I was thinking more of a 3 to 4 layer wall. 14' cinder block/concrete wall with outpost every few miles---20 foot gap then a 10' electric fence---another 30' then Constantine wire---then about another 20' with an 8' ditch. Lets get bids on that. Cant be over a trillion and imagine the jobs it would great!!!

Hell from my figures, for a 14' wall 16" thick spanning the length of the entire border it will only cost us about about 525 million in cinder blocks from the local home depot.
