| BREAKING NEWS: Juarez Cop Shop Attacked by Gunmen -- UPDATED |
| 2010-07-11 |
| Google Translate. Updated with new information concerning the fighting going to the US side of the border. About 25 armed suspects attacked a Juarez police station near the US border early Sunday morning according to Mexican new accounts. The ensuing firefight lasted for more than an hour beginning at about 0100 hrs. and forced the closure of the Zaragoza international bridge until 0800 hrs. The police station attacked took place in the Maria Isabel district of Juarez, very close to the US border. Authorities are still investigating the event, but a number of armed suspects were killed in the attack. Nothing had been released so far on police casualties. The Mexican daily La Polaka is reporting that several spent cartridge casings, probably from assault rifles, were found on the American side of the Zaragoza bridge, suggesting the firefight went over to the American side last night. |

| #14 Also, the Texas State Militia is rather large and impressive; plus, there are NO guarantees that the Texas NG would obey what are illegal orders by the feds. |

| #13 There is a novel by Tom Kratman called State of Disorder : the plot is that the federal government is taken over by socialists and is trying to beat the people into submission. They finally screw up by trying to disarm the Texans and initiate another Waco scenario which leads to the start of civil war. Unfortunately, it seems rather prophetic right about now. |

| #12 Do you think Obama's toadies would be so stoopid as to push things that far? They may just be uncooperative at that point. Posted by gorb Anticipating worst case scenarios generally reduces the incidences of gobsmakery and surprise. These people will likely become very desperate in the coming months....cornered gibbons and the like. |

| #11 Obama's toadies would tell him to federalize the NG, to keep them out of the fight, and at that point the governor would authorized a non-federalizable militia. Hence the need for the second amendment. And then every citizen in the USA would understand the need for that amendment. Do you think Obama's toadies would be so stoopid as to push things that far? They may just be uncooperative at that point. |

| #10 The threat of a US Attorney General filing mulitple lawsuits against the State of Arizona for attempting to enforce federal laws would have looked implausible a few short years ago as well. I would not put anything past these social justice, race baiting communists. |

| #9 Disarming Texans? Flying to Europe via Arm-flapping would be easier. |

| #7 ...mobilizing troops, and disarming Texas citizens. Let them try. |

| #6 It is very clear to me that the comments above are precisely the "crisis" Obama seeks to exploit. He will be quick to declare martial law; protect his future voting base from racist attack by federalizing or mobilizing troops, and disarming Texas citizens. I can invision numerous scenarios that might make George Wallace's performance at the door of Foster Auditorium at University of Alabama appear quite timid. I doubt it will end well. |

| #5 Obama's toadies would tell him to federalize the NG, to keep them out of the fight, and at that point the governor would authorized a non-federalizable militia. At that point there will be blood. Mexican blood. I believe Texas already has a non-federalizable militia. And there is going to be blood eventually. |

| #4 Wonder if the police were "racial profiling" in order to shoot back? Eric Holder would think so. |

| #3 If it turns into open season, which it might, in short order there will very likely be military grade weapons, if not personnel, provided to the American lawmen. Think Chuck Norris with a Ma-Deuce. And if that isn't enough firepower, the Texas NG will join the fray. Obama's toadies would tell him to federalize the NG, to keep them out of the fight, and at that point the governor would authorized a non-federalizable militia. At that point there will be blood. Mexican blood. |

| #2 It really is just a matter of time before the gangs begin to infiltrate in numbers and bring the killing spree to America. I suspect vehicle ambushes will be next; then small Law Enforcement manned border offices, checkpoints, and outposts will be hit and overrun. |

| #1 "The Mexican daily La Polaka is reporting that several spent cartridge casings, probably from assault rifles, were found on the American side of the Zaragoza bridge, suggesting the firefight went over to the American side last night." Now THAT's something the MSM won't report on. |
