-Lurid Crime Tales-

Baby boy shot in head execution-style alongside his mom, 16, and four other family members murdered in California cartel massacre

2023-01-17

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Six people, including a six-month old baby, a teenage mother and an elderly woman, were killed in a California, Central Valley farming community

The local sheriff said it was likely a targeted attack by a drug cartel

Massacre occurred around 3:30am Monday in and around a home in Goshen

Authorities said they were searching for two suspects and that the killings may have been related to a search warrant carried out last week at one of the homes

Sheriff said the level of violence and the manner of the attacks suggested experienced killers

Tulare County, a small agricultural region with a population of less than half a million, has historically played a significant role in the transnational drug trade, transporting drugs from Mexico to various markets in the United States.

The county, which is bisected by the 99 Freeway and has a limited law enforcement presence, acres of open land, and a highly mobile population of farmworkers, has been a haven for drug traffickers since at least the 1970s.

In recent years, the area has also become known for the production of methamphetamine and the cultivation of both legal and illegal marijuana.

Notable and violent figures of Mexico's drug wars, such as former leader of the Zetas cartel, Jose Maria Guizar Valencia, have connections to Tulare County as he was born there.

#7 While I was living in California, there was a movement of Mexican and African American middle class outward from the Bay towards the suburbs. Unfortunately, they brought their kids so schools in places like Antioch and Pittsburg got tougher. Mostly it was kids pretending to be hard. This incident is different. It is the Nortenos grabbing turf outside of Oakland and Richmond. More turf is achieved through increased staffing available through the open border. These are soldiers. They do not go to school, pick tomatoes or hang drywall. The RINOs who want to give out amnesty at the behest of special interest are not going to achieve cheap labor; they will be bringing Juarez violence to every state.

#4 Norteños (Spanish: [noɾˈteɲos] meaning Northerners; Norteñas for females) are the various, affiliated gangs that pay tribute to Nuestra Familia while in California state and federal correctional facilities.[9] Norteños may refer to Northern California as Norte Califas. Their biggest rivals are the Sureños from Southern California.[3] The statewide north-south dividing line between Norteños and Sureños has roughly been accepted as Bakersfield, California.[3] The gang's membership consists primarily of Mexican Americans. Consider the horrific execution of an entire family as a turf-violation example by the cartel. Far more common a tactic in Mexico, but we are importing all that rapidly.

As for a basis for the insane Biden illegal immigrant surge, consider that Obama era Hispanics include people with connections or thoughts in refernces to Atzlan and Mecha: M.E.Ch.A. (Spanish: Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán; "Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán") is a US-based organization that seeks to promote Chicano unity and empowerment through political action. The acronym of the organization's name is the Chicano word mecha, which is the Chicano pronunciation of the English word match and therefore symbolic of a fire or spark; mecha in Spanish means fuse or wick. The motto of MEChA is 'La Union Hace La Fuerza'. Research Atzlan and find the Reconquista, which is well underway...
