#1 Dunno. The Cartels do NOT threaten; they murder without notice. And they do it in the worst possible ways.

#2 Criminals are after easy money, threatening is easier than killing.

#3 I would guess that threatening US officials is easier and safer than attacking.

Pinal County is just East of Maricopa County, and it is not a border County. It contains a big part of the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Gila River Indian Community. This means undeveloped tribal lands.

The Tohono O'odham res is about the size of Connecticut and goes all the way into Mexico. And this is the problem. The only border crossings for them are some iron gates.

So drug smugglers take a corridor through their lands all the way up to Pinal County.

#5 But not to worry, Sherriff BO OBama is to the rescue. Lets sue Arizona and let the sherriff die at the hands of the drug lords. Where are the feds??? The secret service??? The security that the nasty hate monger preacher that Zero loves would be helpfull, or maybe the new black panthers can leave the polling booths for just a few and actually do something good for America!
