As for the Republican Rep - typical ignorance and pathetically out of touch. Well, at least they got one of the gunmen, only 23 more to find, according to the article.

As for the Republican Rep – typical ignorance and pathetically out of touch.

Not too long ago there was a story about an older man in Scottsdale whose home was invaded, and they beat that poor man and he played dead. They stole his guns, as he was a collector, so odds are the gang that busted into his home was aware of his hobby. And then there was the story about a family being held in their home and being forced to bust the foundation in a closet and dig their own graves. I forget how that was discovered, and the family is okay, but it had something to do with drugs, too, and the family wasn't innocent. It's all very frightening.

You park your car stateside, they come and pick you up in an armored SUV, take you across and repeat to get you back! <em>He is advertising this service!</em> Talked to an friend the other day about the "shopping loop", that one used to do. (up one street down the other) He said there is now only the one street and the other street is vacant and boarded up. One does NOT go down that street. I think I will skip Nogales.
