This may not make national news, but it is substantial and quite frightening if you think about it.

55 indicted for running a heroin and meth trafficking ring across parts of North County including Oceanside and Vista (and in other states including Arizona).

These gang members have ties to the Sinaloa cartel, one of the most violent cartels in Mexico. The Vista Home Boys, a gang whose members/associates were indicted, is one of those gangs that may not have nation wide prominence, but they are not to be taken lightly. The gang has something like 300-400 heads in Vista alone.

Fifty-five people have been indicted in connection with a massive North County heroin, meth and firearms trafficking ring, according to ten federal indictments unsealed Wednesday.

According to the U.S. Attorney's office, those indicted were responsible for supplying at least 25 percent of North County's heroin and methamphetamine. The ring also supplied significant quantities of heroin to a distribution ring in Kingman, Arizona.

Yep, Vista Home Boys & other North County gangs have been at it for years, doing their thing...the so-called "gang injunctions" mean nothing. I was called a liar on this forum several years back when I stated how serious the gang situation in North SD Co. is, because yeah, it's so safe there!

Unfortunately, LE will never be able to completely dismantle VHB & the other gangs...they've been around too long, have deep roots, are multi-generational, & get a lot of support & respect, and, if not that, many who are aware of them choose to look the other way.

Hey, Think4Yourself, where you at?? Have you moved to Vista yet?

My buddy who lives in Oceanside is pretty stoked about this. He said it was really close to one of the high schools.

I'm sure all of these people bought these weapons legally. Plus, as a bonus, I'm sure they are all here legally.

Because it's so easy for a felon to purchase a gun here right? Let's blame 30 years of gang bang open border on potus. Right?


Let's blame cars for DUI's. What alternate universe do you live on?

I agree with everything you said but this.
Most if not all of the people arrested are 2nd 3rd even 4th generation US Citizens.
I am likely to get shot by my fellow American than i am by an illegal alien, cold hard fact.
The "I might be killed by an Illegal alien/Muslim" argument holds no water as most Terror attacks have been from American Born Citizens.
But I agree with you 100% on the Gun Issues. Taking away peoples guns is definitely not the Answer.
