Since the alleged drug smugglers who shot the AZ deputy are from Mexico the FBI should investigate |
|
. . .so that we can find out what is alleged and what is true.
I don't want to call BULLSHIT without knowing the facts, but I don't necessarily trust the Arizona authorities.

1. Something smells really bad here. |
|
All I know is in Cali, we don't smoke pot from Mexico. In fact, since around 1977, I haven't met anyone that smokes pot from Mexico.

7. It was the same in Mass. |

Most serious smokers either grew their own in a closet or knew a farmer who had a hydroponics setup in his basement. Schwag from Mexico was for high school kids.
The increase in narco violence in Mexico came when the sale of Sudafed was tightened up here in the US and the big meth labs moved south across the border. Mexican cookers can import it directly from India in large quantities, so the meth business there is huge. Because meth is such a bad, violent drug, the violence of the drug trade has increased exponentially.
So yes, there's a lot missing from this story. The average band of illegals destined for sweatshops in northern New Jersey is not going to be shepherded across the border by a bad guy with an AK-47. A gang carrying backpacks full of high profit hard drugs would be.

9. Careful, you've been paying attention. |
|
No one in Ca, that I know anyway, has seen weed from Mexico in decades. We all laugh when they say they are smuggling in weed because we can't think of a soul here that would want it.
The Sudafed is absolutely the key and until we deal with the terrible meth epidemic in this country it will remain a blood bath down there.

10. Grass is bulky and relatively low profit |
|
so they bring that in by motor vehicle or, preferably, boat. You still see it from time to time back east.
However, most is homegrown, either by urban farmers or by people along the Blue Ridge.

3. Not only that CNN and MSNBC are pushing the fact that they |
|
are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and not drug smugglers. So what does that tell you about fair and balanced news. They dont' even want to get their facts straight.

How did the deputy know they were drug smugglers? How did he know they were undocumented?
