I'm reading more about the recent wave of lethal attacks against immigrants in Arizona
Edited on Fri Feb-09-07 04:08 PM by ck4829
There is a possibility that it could be the work of a Militia.

Here's a time-line of some recent events:

January 27, 40 miles north of Eloy, Arizona - Four men wearing uniforms and berets stop a vehicle carrying immigrants, kill one and wound another. Attackers were described as 3 looking white and the other one looking hispanic and they spoke "limited spanish"

January 28, near Tucson, Arizona - Man driving immigrants ambushed and shot to death, immigrants themselves not harmed

February 6, 70 miles south of Tucson, Arizona - Four men carrying assault rifles and wearing ski masks rob 18 immigrants

February 7, near Tucson, Arizona - Gunmen attack a truck, killing 3 illegal immigrants, wound 3, and take the rest away and have yet to be found

February 8, northwest of Tucson, Arizona - Gunmen dressed in black and wearing ski masks and armed with assault rifles kill 3 immigrants, 2 men and a teenage girl, wound 2, and abduct some others

3. Bush doesn't give a damn...
and by the time he is done everyone who isn't paying attention will realize how much this country has gone to hell, there are many stories that are not on the news. I have found so many things on the internet that are so depressing.

2. This surprises you?...

the way the media has been whipping these groups into a frenzy and blaming Mexican illegals for the loss of US jobs, drain on medicaid, schools, healthcare - whatever excuse they can use for the administrations own failures.

The hispanic illegal has become the 'negro' of the 21st century. Blame them for everything and treat them like a sub-human species. These 'lynch mobs' are a creation of the MSM and certain vitriolic Politicians. I'm only surprised it's taken them so long to start the killing.

4. Authorities believe the migrants killed near Tucson was the work of bandidos
who roam the border areas and prey on illegal immigrants knowing they are carrying the few posseions they have left, including money.

Some Duers are putting the blame on vigilante groups but that is not the way the Minutemen operate. They may be armed but their but goal is to turn the illegals over to the proper authorities.

5. That could be
What is your opinion on the first attack listed, where the suspects look like paramilitary types and don't have mastery of the Spanish language?
