More than 100 heavily armed suspects riding aboard a large convoy of pickup trucks invaded the tiny southern Chihuahua town of San Juanito Tuesday afternoon, according to Mexican press reports.

Wearing black uniforms and hoods, the armed group took over the town's municipal police station and disarmed the police. Reports say the gunman wore logos of "El Chapo", probably a reference to the Sinaloa drug gang.

No shootings, abductions or deaths were reported during the six hour invasion.

Reports are during the night the convoy moved on to the southern Chihuahua town of Creel about 17 kilometers south of San Juanito searching for specific individuals.

Yeah, but the second we tried to help, we'd hear, "Green go home!"

Nah, no problemo. Security on the border is better than it has ever been. But global warming is a problem (sarc on). Amnesty's the problem also(continued sarc on). How to legalize all these undocumented Democratic voters. Jobs opportunities are really good right now too.

#6  I believe there was a scene in the movie Viva Villa! (1934), to the effect of "No, Poncho! Not the ants!", by an individual about to experience the quaint Mexican custom of burying someone up to their neck in an anthill. They learned the trick from the "Native Americans".

#5  Nope, no problems on the Southern border. Just a bunch of benevolent peace loving migrant workers down there. The real bad guys are the racists who want to secure the border.
