| Dy U Luzer KPLZTHX: Sheriff Arpaio Gets a Text Threat |
| 2010-08-01 |
| 48 Hours Rule on this one inasmuch as the story seems legitimate. No other news outlet has picked up the story, oddly enough... A text message in Spanish and originating in Mexico is offering $1 million price on the head of controversial Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Saturday, according to press reports. The messages comes with a telephone number with more details, and a request to forward the message. The offer is allegedly by someone in the Juarez Cartel. The message was sent out Tuesday, July 29th. |

| #11 I remember the words of a newly-elected Maricopa County prosecutor, back when shooting burglars was something of a national controversy. The media asked him about his policy on that, and he replied, "If somebody breaks into your house, you shoot the S.O.B." And he did not abbreviate that last bit. And there used to be a Sheriff in Flagstaff, who had a small jail, so if he had extra customers, they would go with him on his beat around town. They did not speak, nor make any effort to escape, though they were not handcuffed. For they all knew that he was an expert, and deadly shot. |

| #8 Zero, that POS, would blame Arizona and SB1070, he would call for understanding the poor plight of the mexican cartel. He would have Jan investigated for setting up the death of a Sheriff. Its simple what that worthless person would do.. |

| #7 #5: I wonder what Obama will do about this. Posted by: gorb| I don't wonder, I know - NOTHING. O'bumble won't do anything that might cost him a single vote. A pile of sh$$ is more valuable than O'bumble - at least it can be used as fertilizer. O'bumble just destroys. |

| #2 killing Joe Arpaio would be the stupidest move the cartels or illegal-activists could possibly do. It would be open season and very few captures, just kills |

| #1 In his time, Arpaio has gotten a bunch of death threats, and even some attempts. However, sheriffs in other counties are also getting threatened, usually when they make a major cartel drug bust, or even seize a bunch of their drugs. This is unwise. The Earps, for better or worse, were Arizona lawmen. I might also add that they were Republicans, and while the Clantons may or may not have been Democrats, before and after the OK Corral fight, they, being bad guys, were supported by the Democrat political types in the area, who tried to railroad the Earps. My, how times haven't changed. |
