| (Unconfirmed) Two Ranches In Laredo, TX, Taken Over By Los Zetas |
| 2010-07-24 |
| We are going to invoke the 48 hour rule on this story. Laredo press says there's no invasion, inasmuch as the Cypress Times and the fella at Digger Realms say otherwise and have not backed down on the story. Moving this to opinion as well... The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed. As of this hour I cannot confirm 100% on the situation (I am at around 90%) - though the source is law enforcement in the area. The ranches are said to be "near Mines Rd. and Minerales Rd. about 10 miles NW of I-35". Whether it is lone members or squads is not certain. Anonymous sources in law enforcement in the Laredo area tonight have passed on word that US law enforcement agencies are in the area and are weighing their options regarding the ranches. The media has been silent on this incident and some law enforcement in the area says that they are furious that the media is not reporting the whole story of the continued violence along the border. Their frustrations are understandable because keeping the truth suppressed continues to hamper law enforcement from receiving the true support they need along the border. The ranch assaults come on the heals of attacks in Nuevo Laredo that shut the city down as a gun-battle raged in the streets. Los Zetas blocked off intersections with vehicles and used fragmentation grenades to attack Mexican law enforcement. In the end 12 were killed and 21 injured in the assaults. Citizens in the area were told to stay in their homes and bullets whizzed all around. |

| #15 There's prolly not an invasion, but keep this in mind about "credibility" Confederate Yankee is talking about. The shootout in Nuevo Laredo didn't happen Thursday; it's been ongoing since Monday and the only news anyone had about it was through Twitter and Facebook and that was the local government only telling local to stay indoors. Not even the Texas newspapers had this news until the battle was basically over Thursday night. No one knows what is really going on in that area because the Mexican newspapers in Nuevo Laredo are less than worthless in reporting gang and drug news. The news outlet on the US side are really not much better. The only news we got in that four day period was local law enforcement telling reporters they were hearing shots from across the border. Thanks for the 411, fellas. I agree were this an invasion Los Zetas would have by now punctuated their arrival with a few dead bodies, but having said that, there is a of of misinformation flowing about both on and off the internet about this area. |

| #12 A different report now has the Laredo PD "officially" denying anything. Kind of a "no comment, and don't quote me." |

| #11 The guy over at The W-Bar-E (link a couple comments up) has updated that this is confirmed by a 2nd contact in law enforcement. |

| #10 The guy at Digger Realm stands by the story, saying it may be because of a "top down" news blackout. The Texas investigator Joe Baeza has come up on Rantburg news reports, from the bust of a truck carrying a large number of in-the-box AK-47s in Laredo, Texas last month. We didn't hear much about that event either as far as charges are concerned, so it seems to be the "news blackout" charge has some validity, at the moment. |

| #9 It was reported as "unconfirmed". Gee, just what does that mean there hunter killer? Go away you fuckwad and back to the POS life you lead. Exactly what does this hunter killer name mean anyway? Must be that your some web hero wanna be. Other wise you would have been more than happy to dispell the report, which I am glad is not true. We would have thanked you and deleated the post. But instead you throw insults. Have you med Fred, Me, or anyone else on this site??? I'm certain the answer is no, so to jump up and say what you did reveals your bigoted self centered attitude. We here at the Burg welcome all. While you would rather see this site shut down. Go back to your hate filled world and leave us alone. GFY |

| #8 Another bull shit "news" from the cocksucker in chief 'Editor of this shitty blog Fred the senile fagott patriot of the irrelevant reds necks southern toohless litle shit that want play soldiersÂ… Fuck you readers of this shitty blog if you want play soldiers joint the Army or are you all a bunch of old irrelevant Southern trash like your dear leaders all talk and no autions CALLED THIS NUMBER 956-795-2800 WAS TOLD TO ASK FOR JOE BAEZALL was told he was a field agent, turns out he is their Public Relations liason. I GOT A HOLD OF SARGENT PEREZ (FEMALE) SHE SAID THAT THIS LOCATION, THE SUPPOSED LOCATION FOR THE INCIDENT, WAS OUTSIDE OF THEIR JURISDICTION AND THAT EVERYTHING IN LAREDO PROPER WAS NORMAL. SHE GAVE ME THIS NUMBER: 956-523-4408, THIS IS TO THE WEBB COUNTY SHERIFF'S DISPATCH OFFICE, I SPOKE TO A DEPUTY TIJERA (FEMALE ALSO) * ahem just making the note so if anyone calls they will not ask for a mister * DEPUTY TIJERA SAID NOTHING WAS ABNORMAL AND THAT THIS REPORT OF THE LOS ZETAS WAS INTERNET RUMOR AND THAT THEIR PATROLS WERE NOT CONDUCTING ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE STORY STARTED BUT AFFIRMED AGAIN THAT IT WAS ONLY RUMOR. THANK YOU AND THATS ALL FOLKS. Sources sighted, numbers given for reference. If you feel the need to verify these statements then do so but nothing is going on in Laredo. If you examine the examiner report it is cut from the digger report and other information is added. These reports are being given out to cause reaction and give their authors names and give them a sense of credibility. Internet rumor and lies is what it is as they try to fire up patriots into doing something stupid. Please verify and confirm if you need to as again the source are provided. Thank you and GOD Bless. |

| #6 Link no longer works. But I saw the pics. About a dozen rough looking guys with enough equipment to cover the floor of a garage. And it looked like useful equipment, too. |

| #5 Los Zetas w/ weapons |

| #4 If these are typical Los Zetas, it is anyone's guess how they are armed. M60 MG, M16 and M203 rifles, with 40mm grenades, frag grenades, sniper rifles, RPGs, protective vests and helmets. Some of them also have SWAT training from the US Army. |

| #3 Border patrol can't be sure they are Mexicans because they aren't allowed to "check their papers". I imagine so far it is just a "trespassing" complaint. |

| #2 send in some hellfires, although Dear Leader has no backbone maybe this will show the cartels that our military does. |

| #1 Zero has been sitting on the "immigration" issue for some time. Waiting for the crisis to build to the point that people felt that only new legislature could fix it, no matter how There ya go, Barry. People are going to be so happy that thugs like these are forcing our agenda and getting amnesty. |
