Let's file this one under the "very strange" category.
What's a nice girl doing with an anti-aircraft machine gun?
Let's hope that she is not angry with her boyfriend!
Poor guy! Did he forget to send her flowers for Valentine's Day?
Today, we learned this:
"A woman was arrested guarding an arsenal that included an anti-aircraft machine gun—the first weapon of its kind seized in Mexico, police said Tuesday.
The arsenal belonged to a group linked to the powerful Beltran Leyva drug cartel, federal police coordinator Gen. Rodolfo Cruz said. It also included ammunition, five rifles, a grenade and part of a grenade launcher.
Mexican drug cartels, battling a fierce crackdown by soldiers and federal police, have increasingly gotten hold of higher-powered weapons, even military-grade arms such as grenades and machine guns.
That has left police—particularly state and municipal forces—grossly outgunned, and many officers have quit following attacks."
Perhaps, this is an isolated event.
Let's hope so.
On the other hand, these weapons could change the entire conflict and put high ranking Mexican officials at risk.
It is dangerous indeed! How did this weapon get into Mexico anyway?
This is why we need to follow up with Merida Plan commitments. I have no idea why the Dems are holding up the money.
Again, anti-aircraft machine guns are lethal weapons. They are commonly used in battlefield combat.
You don't associate Mexico City with anti-aircraft guns!
