Border Patrol Agent Down in Arizona
From AZ Central:
A Border Patrol agent was shot and killed on Tuesday night near Rio Rico after encountering several suspects, federal authorities said Wednesday.
Agent Brian Terry was killed just 10 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, north of Nogales. Four suspects are in custody and one is being pursued, according to a press release from Customs and Border Protection.
The area around Nogales is probably the worst part of the US-Mexico border. There are no natural barriers that impede movement like the Rio Grande in Texas and it has gotten less attention from the Feds in the past than the California and Yuma sectors. This is also the same area where rancher Robert Krentz was murdered.
RIP Brian Terry.

And, we will arrest them, book and fingerprint ’em, let them out on bond so they can get foodstamps, put their kids in school and take our jobs as they plan more.
Need about a dozen warthogs down there, locked and loaded.
Fire as needed.
This sucks, man how much has changed over the last 20 years. We used to enjoy heading to Nogales a couple times a year and walking over the border to enjoy a day of shopping followed by lunch. We quit going about 14-15 years ago because of the change in social environment there and the atmosphere of hostility that was starting to creep into everything. Nowadays you couldn’t pay me to visit Mexico, any part of it.
Prayers up for Agent Terry and his family. And yeah, I haven’t gone to Mexico since 1996, and there’s no way in hell you’ll get me to go there for any reason.
A mile wide DMZ is called for along the border. If it’s in there, it’s dead, or will be shortly. No need to have this continue to happen. Plus, Jonn, the police chief in Nogales, along with his deputies, were told by the drug cartel not to interfere with there activities, anymore, or they would be killed (after a couple of off duty officers on horseback came upon some drug mules just outside of town and the mules dropped their load and headed back across the border). In fact, the drug cartel put a bounty on the chief’s head. Time to stop playing nice, since the drug cartels and not the Mexican government are in charge in Mexico.
C’mon, OT–in that part of Mexico, the government and the cartels are one and the same.
It pisses me off when people who have never been to that border area whine about how tough no illegals the Arizona folks are. It’s like a friggen war zone down there. Friends of mine who live near the border have to go armed if they go outside the house at night…it’s like an expressway of bandtis, drug smugglers and assholes running past.
The check points are needed, but really make it look like a day in Baghdad.
Just another seeker of jobs we American’s don’t want.
Sparky; sorry I blew up 🙂
Perhaps Holder will cut a deal with the shooters? Or just say, no, as long as the dead are agents of the government, local, state or Federal, we won’t worry about it. Put in another watering station, Janet. And, put up another warning sign, so our citizens won’t get hurt?
The idiots in D.C. make me want to vomit, almost daily.
UpNorth said: “The idiots in D.C. make me want to vomit, almost daily.” And we keep on re-electing them and sending them back.
What is that definition of insanity?????? Keep doing the same things expecting different results?
Yes, shoot the damned Cartelians, but at the same time it is time for a regime change in DC.
So here’s a question. Who thinks Pershing Expedition (ie Mexican Punitive Expedition) round II is around the corner?
Mexico is really starting to look like the worst parts of Iraq in 07.
I suppose it would also be too much to ask that congress finally SEAL THE FUCKING BORDER???
Did this even make the news or has it become so happenstance to not even be talked about anymore except locally? Curfews and free-fire zones. Land mines and barbed wire with random patrols of heavily armed military personnel. This isn’t a law enforcement problem anymore. It is a civil war in Mexico that is spilling over our borders. Time we started treating it as such. Predators with cluster bombs. Cobras and Apaches with the FLIR rolling. Enough with this arrest and release stuff. They aren’t fish.
STONEWALL116 FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!
