Cartels: Coming To A Town Near You

Via Horace

 What had been an open secret is no longer secret: Mexican drug cartels are now openly carrying their war into Texas.
 
The question is whether or not the federal government is intentionally allowing it to happen.

In spite of assurances from Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano ("the border's never been more secure"), a cartel hit man pulled off a trademark, brutally violent execution in the quiet suburb of Southlake Wednesday night.

The murder of 43-year-old Juan Guerrero-Chapa, a ranch owner and lawyer from Nuevo Leon, Mexico, who had been residing in Southlake for two years, was accomplished by "an organized, professional criminal outfit," police told reporters.

"Obviously the nature of this homicide, the way it was carried out indicates –– and I said indicates –– an organization that is trained to do this type of activity," Police Chief Steve Mylett was quoted during a news conference at the Southlake Police Department. "When you're dealing with individuals that operate on such a professional level, certainly caution forces me to have to lean towards that this is an organized criminal activity act."
 
According to news reports, Guerrero-Chapa was shot dead at 6:47 p.m. in a parking spot in the 100 block of Grand Ave. at the Town Square, a popular outdoor shopping mall. He arrived with his wife about 45 minutes prior to shop. And as Guerrero-Chapa's wife loaded bags into their SUV, another newer model white SUV pulled in behind it.

  1. They've been here for a while, they just keep a lower profile in the States than south of the border. I read an FBI report that said cartels control 90% of the production of drugs that are sold the US, and that includes domestically grown/produced drugs like pot and meth.
    The thing to remember is that the street gangs like MS 13 and some non-hispanic gangs are cartel affiliates.

    I've posted twice about cartels and gangs:

    The second one talks about the confluence muslims and Mexican cartels, potentiaaly very scary.

    1. Yes, I remember them and the first was especially informative.
