South of the Border, Down Mexico Way...

From an anonymous but historically-reliable source:

See the following and watch the videos:

This battle between the Gulf Cartel and the Zeta's occurred approximately 1/2 of a mile south of the border and the area can bee seen using Google Maps- enter:

Laureles, Ernesto Zedillo, Reynosa, México

You will see to the immediate west a road oriented North/South named Presa de Las Adjuntas. From the north intersection of Tiburcio Garza Zamora, south to Brasil (on the west) to Sauce (on the east) streets the main blockades and battles occurred. There were other blockades and battles, but not as coordinated in the use of vehicles to stop traffic. There is little detailed information regarding body count or wounded that I have been able to acquire and will not speculate. The battle DID cover 8-12 blocks and included the use 30-40 vehicles as barriers, cover, and concealment.

The newspaper in McAllen, Texas, right across from Reynosa, Mexico is still doing it's level best to keep as much information from the public as possible and this is the extent of it's reporting:

Heard on the local talk radio station there yesterday morning an American businessman who stated that the workers at the "maquila" (factory) he was at had to take cover in a safe that is designed to withstand a .50 even though the front doors and glass had been hit, no one was seriously injured and yes, there was full-auto involved.

Things down along the river ARE severely escalating and can be seen by reading The Monitor's recent headlines over the past month.

All together now:

Damned American gun shows! Damned expired "assault weapons" ban!
