SHOOTING ILLEGALS?


[+] ballot by aya
created Fri Feb 09, 07

Gunmen stopped a pickup truck full of illegal immigrants, shot some and took the rest captive Thursday in an attack that left at least three men dead and two people wounded, authorities said.Authorities were trying to determine who the gunmen were and said some of the immigrants remained missing.

The men shot three people, one fatally, along a known smuggling corridor near Tucson, then forced several other immigrants in the group to leave with them, Pima County sheriff's officials said.

The bodies of two of those immigrants were found about 10 miles north in the cab of the pickup truck that had been carrying the group. Two men who were not injured were in custody and telling deputes what happened, and the other immigrants had not been found by midday Thursday.

The crime was similar to a robbery Wednesday night more than 70 miles south, near the Mexican border, said Rick Kastigar, the Pima County sheriff's criminal investigations chief. In that incident, four men carrying assault weapons and wearing ski masks robbed 18 immigrants, but no one was reported injured. Investigators did not immediately know a motive for Thursday's attack, but gangs of bandits are known to roam border areas preying on illegal immigrants as they cross into the country. Feuding among smuggling organizations also is not uncommon, sometimes involving demands for ransoms from the immigrants relatives to gain their freedom.

Voted : Minutemen
I think it was them, what i don't get is the heartlessness, i mean GEEZ they are illegal and all but have a heart. Close the border but don't do these types of things, sheesh

Yeah, but since the border is open, could be mexican gangs?

they were in fatigues, and were apparantly searching for illegals - they found a van full of "illegals" then opened fire.

Yes this is happening, and I haven't heard a peep from CNN (saw it in the local paper in Arizona)

Voted : 'Coyotes'
Term applied to people who prey upon illegal immigrants. They've been around as long as illegal immigration. They rob, and sometimes murder the illegal immigrants as they covertly traverse the US-Mexican border.

It's hard to tell. Sounds like the first one might be border vigilantes (Minutemen, whoever) and the second sounds like coyotes.

The first is especially scary. That incident sounds like it's straight from Baghdad.

Voted : 'Coyotes'
It was either Coyotes or Mexican gangs that did this. They are also known to rob the illegals before they even cross the border. How else would they know which vehicle to target?

LCD: Watch Lou Dobbs' show on CNN at 4 p.m. and then you'll hear about news stories like this.

Here's a link to the story from Tucson, Arizona. There is no mention of Minutemen being involved.

I would guess coyotes, since they've at least robbed immigrants before.

Seems some have already tried and convicted the minutemen on no evidence despite the presence of many suspects.

I don't know who it was, could have been smugglers, or drug dealers, or a psychotic overzealous about border security. Whoever it was should be caught and put to death. Illegal immigration is wrong, but this in no way makes murdering illegals acceptable.

But if this proves to be a minuteman I'm sure that like with the environmentalist nuts who throw acid in peoples faces, burn down factories and murder loggers, people on here won't smear a legitimate cause with the actions of a few, thoroughly denounced, fanatics. Right?
