Breaking: Multiple ranches in laredo, tx taken over by los zetas

[Kathy63]

The evacuation would be of the people who were living there.

As one of the substantiating reports allegedly came from Diggersrealm I looked at his site and he confirms. Digger has been a long time activist who posted at the old SOS site. Digger covered SOS events. I have never known Digger to lie about anything.

A check at the San Diego Examiner also supports the story. http://www.examiner.com/x-10317-San-...-Buzz-Examiner

It was just a day or two prior to this incident that the gunbattle at Nuevo Laredo, which is mere blocks from Laredo frightened Laredo residents. It has been just a few weeks since gunfire from mexico hit the City Hall at El Paso. Clearly the fighting in mexico has gotten perilously close to the US. If it has jumped the border, at this time, with the federal lawsuit against Arizona being heard right now, it would spell disaster for the regime.

I have heard from someone who actually lives in Laredo.

The talk all around the town is how a couple of outlying ranches were taken over by Los Zetas. That's rumors mind you. Just gossip. There is a lot more border patrol activity and a whole lot more county sheriffs around.

Sooner or later someone is going to know someone who lived at these ranches. Unless entire families have been taken into protective custody to keep them from talking the truth will come out someplace.

Second source on the ground right there.

This story IS true.

Copy of e-mail received.

I would say that my sources are unimpeachable: Mexican Drug Gangs are holding TWO areas in South Texas near Laredo. What is unconfirmed is that these Mexican outposts are on privately owned ranches.

There is also a lake in that general area, and I'm not sure if it's Lake Casa Blanca State Park, where recreational boaters and fisherman are being harassed [and I have heard, are being fired upon], by the drug gangs.

Why the State of Texas and Rick Perry is allowing this to continue, I do not understand. But . . . a slam against Perry, that is, but anyone thinks that Bill White will do something about it is living in a real dream world. Bill White will kiss every Mexican ass South of the Border.

Is Texas not taking action because the gangs are operating on Federal land, or is Texas just turning a blind eye to it?

As far as I am concerned, two residents, on the scene have confirmed this story.

You are a pretty reliable source of information, generally.

Still there are some other possibilities. The property owners of the ranches in question may actually be illegals or their enablers and the takeover is more an internal issue for the land owners. I'd like to know more about the landowners or areas in question.

This may be why Texas is reluctant to confront the issue. It opens up a whole can of worms about illegal and non-citizens owning property.

In this case, it is land. But more basically, you should not be able to register a car if you are not here legally. The automobile is the most powerful weapon in the hands of illegal immigrants. They don't have to own land, but they must be on happy terms with somebody who does. That's another thing that needs to be confronted. You should have to be here legally to own land and it should be a felony to house illegal immigrants.

If housing illegals is epidemic among legal residents, then perhaps conditional land owning licenses should be involved for non-citizens property owners.

[Kathy63]

No the landowners weren't illegals, or illegal enablers. They escaped. From the look of things, and this I cannot confirm, they are being held so that they do not talk.

It reminds me of the beginnings of what went on in Zimbabwe where the white farmers who escaped massacres were held in silence so no one knew what was going on until the whole thing exploded.

As far as I am hearing from my two Laredo sources, and these are people who actually live in Laredo. The State is acting as if this is a local law enforcement matter. It's being left to the border patrol and county sheriff to deal with as any other street crime.

I am by no means any kind of military strategist, but historically and logically, the gang now occupying two ranches near Laredo will already have or soon will make contact with American gangs IN Laredo. The next attack would be on Laredo itself from without and within. The goal would be to seize that port of entry and open a floodgate. With an absent federal government and an uncaring state government success is just about guaranteed.

The question is, these are Texans. They could very well bristle up with guns like a porquipine in which case it would be a serious war. So the question. Would state and federal officials step in at that point and if so, on which SIDE?

I don't want to act like I am in the know or have firsthand info on this,

however from what I can tell, this story had its' origins in Jeff Schwilk. Schwilk has a history of exaggeration, fabrication, and sensationalism. Remember the 100K plus defamation suit he lost. It's a little difficult to lose a defamation suit when the claims are truthful.
Also like to point out his enemies list on his SDMM website. It's getting bigger all the time, and it reads more like it was written by a drunken reporter from the National Enquirer.
I'd consider the source first. Not sayin' that this type of scenario isn't possible or likely; Just reminding everyone to keep their feet on the ground, and not to end up getting labeled as a chicken little

[Kathy63]

I thought so too. Until I heard from a couple of Laredoans. Schwilk didn't come up with this story first. It was the San Diego Examiner who first broke the story.
