Drug Lords Overrun Mexican Border Town
Thursday, August 04, 2005
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — A band of drug lords has turned the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo, just yards away from Texas, into lawless territory.
Not only are cocaine, marijuana and amphetamines funneled through this town, but the gang has taken on law enforcement, killing the last two elected police chiefs. The latest one lasted only six hours in office.
Fox News' Steve Harrigan rode on patrol with the newest chief, who stresses that a positive outlook is better protection than a suit of armor.
Last Friday, the streets of Nuevo Laredo became a war zone, with gun battles forcing residents to run for their lives.
Now the criminals have taken to kidnapping; they've snatched 41 Americans in the past year.

What they fail to mention in this is that the 41 they snatched in the last year were on THAT side of the border. Reports on local news also mention that they have snatched several dozen from the TEXAS side of the border as well.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
