It's the Webb County Sheriff's Office in Laredo, referenced in the first line of the police blotter and apparently referred to as the LSO.

More current info here in a 5 part series.
You are quoting nothing more than blogs & not offering anything official (you know, from an actual police agency). Find one source that is directly from a police department, sheriff's office, BP, ICE or any authority in a position to know the facts.

The "Mexican problem" HAS crossed the border and we are not being told about it.
Where've you been for the past 30 years? If you think criminal activity by Mexican gangs in this country is something new, you haven't been paying attention.

And if it were true that the agenda of the current admin is to control the media (which includes the internet, btw), then it would be logical (!) that they are controlling this and every other site as well.

Unfortunately, not all cartel gang members are illegals. And no, it is not difficult to purchase or steal anything everything necessary to make these crooks appear to be police or ICE or BP - at least to the general public.

I am sure the situation is much more grave in the border states than those of us who don't live there are lead to believe. The lack of knowledge and belief is our own fault; people are naturally content to believe nothing is as bad as it seems if it does not directly affect our own lives.

However, that does not necessarily make our own apathy one giant governmental conspiracy. Nor does it give credibility to any extremists' sites, who themselves have a distinct, anti-American government agenda.

I live in a border state, and not too far from the border, and trust me truer words were never spoken.

Yes. It is up to the people in the border areas to demonstrate how and why they need help, and how grave their situation is. If/when they do that, the American people will determine how to best respond to the situation.

More information:

Bulletin warned of drug violence in El Paso - El Paso Times

Baranyay said he could not release what was in the bulletin because it was coded "law enforcement sensitive," but the broadcast that dispatchers repeated several times on Sunday mentioned Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman Loera, plans for a kidnapping in El Paso, the Aztecas gang and an alleged hit man nicknamed "Carnicero" (butcher).


Yes - much goes on that the public is not supposed to know about. In this article they come right out and say it. They are suppressing a whole lot of this stuff.

Now tell me if we the people are privy to everything that goes on with "a police department, sheriff's office, BP, ICE or any authority in a position to know the facts."

I post what I find and in this case I also posted a disclaimer just as I did the first thread. Take your finger pointing and point it where the sun doesn't shine.

Tsk, tsk...your temper's getting the best of you. More histrionics really don't help the situation. You post what you find, without first at least attempting to verify it. Calm down, and try to at least not post inflammatory things. You really shouldn't do that.

I absolutely believe that much of it is suppressed. If some information were to compromise a situation, I hope that it would not be released. But I am having a hard time believing that it's some great big conspiracy to delude the American people into believing all's well on the homes front as some in these threads tout. You people who actually live there already know that it is not well.

I'm sure that news outlets are sometimes specifically requested by law enforcement to not release certain information immediately. The news outlets must've heard the info being dispatched.

If the news outfits have scanners, then the gangs do as well.

Some info shouldn't be released to the general public until after the fact.

I don't see why this is a surprise, law enforcement agencies (especially on the federal level) have been hiding things from the American public for years in regards to illegal immigration, the drug cartels, and border security. Look at the incident where Los Zetas tried to blow up the Falcon Dam in Zapata County, TX - the Feds denied the story and hid it from the media and the public for weeks before they finally acknowledged that the reports of the plot were true.

In fact, the head of Homeland Security even outright denies that we have a very serious problem when it comes to border security. To claim that there is a media blackout on the issue would be a perfectly logical statement.

Neither does your ignorance.

Again, more ignorance, you have no idea what I have or have not done and you are wholly ignorant of the entire first thread (which has been mentioned but you failed to bother with) on the subject where many (including myself) tried to find more information from the MSM and typical LEO's. Unfortunately these organizations are not always forthcoming with news they do not want out so again...I post what I find with disclaimers and leave the rest to the folks here to discern or glean what they will from it.

I see you did not answer my question and conveniently left it out of your reply which for your type is typical because the true answer exposes your weakness. Here it is again for you to have a second try at; Now tell me if we the people are privy to everything that goes on with "a police department, sheriff's office, BP, ICE or any authority in a position to know the facts."

You should work on your own plethora of faults before trying to point out others.
