Cartels Threaten Texas Ranchers, Angry Cowboys Form Posses
2017-03-21
The men and women who live and work in these border areas have come under attack again from drug cartels who have been blamed for thousands of murders in Mexico.

According to Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples:

"It’s a war, make no mistake about it. And it’s happening on American soil. Farmers and ranchers are being run off their own property by armed terrorists showing up and telling them they have to leave their land."

#5  The cartels are well armed, but they have a bunch of wannabes toting the arms and they rely on a pump and dump/spray and pray to take out their target. The ranchers actually have to hit predators/prey and can reach out from distance and kill.

If they see the cartel, the pendejos die. If the cartel swarms a house in the middle of the night it will be bad for that rancher family.

#4  As a general rule, the last group to double down on the violence and brutality wins. At least until Clint Eastwood, the US Marines, or a Texas Ranger shows up.

#3  A threatening passive defensive posture armed with attitude is a marginal deterrent and more likely a simple irritant to cartel soldiers.

#2  Cartels are well armed as well. I hope the ranchers have a few veterans in their midst.
