So you would rather let the risk that your life is lost first then make sure they do not get off yours?
Wait, you actually think the cartels are afraid of US heat on them for killing a random US citizen near the border?!
... HE WASN'T RISKING HIS LIFE. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. If he was in fear of his life, this would be believable. But this was just a guy going through his land. Guy made no motion toward a gun or waist, was just trespassing (maybe unknowningly) then shot.
... They objectively are? Seriously. Look it up. The amount of Cartel killings of Americans in America is really freaking small, and gets even smaller if you exclude other cartel members (who aren't American usually).
So maybe, just maybe, read a little before spouting claims of knowledge in things you haven't read about.
Um you do realize that home invasions with multiple intruders are a thing right. You do remember I told you that happened to my cousins in Santee a few years back right. It is rare but it does happen from time to time. And if the Cartel wanted a rancher dead. He would be dead. They have more firepower than the Mexican Police Force.
If a Rancher can't tell the difference between an unarmed person and a armed person with the intent to cause harm to him or his family. Then he should not be out confronting anyone. Some people may not want to hear this but. Some people in the 2A community actually want to shoot someone on their property dead. One of my coworkers has this exact same mentality. Kind of why the Higher Ups in the company I work for won't let him get an armed certification. He would shoot someone without critically thinking it through. And like I said earlier some of these people have a nasty habit of shooting at people not even on their property in the first place.
You are conflating that I am defending the man and what he did.
Cartels try to minimize the amount of violence they have on the US side of things.
Exactly. They know there are warhawk DC pol's who want to invade Northern Mexico (Buttigieg, looking at you). They don't want to end up in Guantanamo. And they know they can do whatever they like in mexico as long as they don't fuck around too much in America.
The one where the guy shot her in the back of the head definitely calls for charges.
Still doesn't stop them. They have shot at US troops from across the border
Ph for sure. Not trying to defend him or anything just point out motives and stuff
It's really, really rare. It absolutely stops them. It's why on their side they see hundreds of murders per year per city, and on our side it's so much less.
They target federal BP agents over military.
Looking it up, I found one murder of a BP by cartel in 2017, and nothing since. That sucks and all, but it's not them targeting BP to any extent. Again, my original point of "Cartels almost always leave American's alone in America" stands.
In the thread this WAS in someone posted stuff about what the cartels have done.
Stop bootlicking war pig. Seriously, the amount of death and violence that would cause would be horrific, and we don't have the Atlantic moat to keep them from doing car bombings in the US.
We have a large population that are basically endepted to the cartels.
You really want to pretend that the cartels are no threat, don't you?
Mexico does. The US does not. The idea that a war will solve anything, and not make everything worse, is just dumb.
And none of them have been hit? Seriously, stop pretending South Texas is anything like stepping over the border. Because if it actually gets there, the US will invade.
No, I've heard a few stories of NG guys getting hit, and the ROE saying the NG units cannot fire back, because it would cause an international incident.
We are not allowed to actively protect the border woth federal trtroops, and NG can't do anything if shot at but take cover and hope they arnt hit.
No, but you'll have a bunch of citations from conservative media I hope?
Seriously, give me actual evidence of a bunch of NG being shot, and I'll start to care. But I've been given none. And thinking war will stop this is still the dumbest thing I've ever heard. War will cause gallons more blood to flow as the cartels export their violence to America, as they'd have nothing to lose.
