BROWNSVILLE — Gunmen presumed to be Mexican drug operatives opened fire on Thursday on a couple riding water skis on the binational Falcon Lake reservoir, possibly killing the husband and sending the woman fleeing frantically to the U.S. side, authorities said.

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said the couple had crossed to the Mexican side when they came under a spray of bullets by two boatloads of men. The man, 30, was shot in the head and his wife said she fears he is dead. “They saw them approaching and started revving it up back to the U.S. side,” Gonzalez told the Associated Press. “The guys just started shooting at them from behind.” The shooting follows reports in May that boaters in the famed bass fishing oasis were at risk of being shaken down by “pirates” lurking on the Mexican side.

“The robbers are believed to be members of a drug trafficking organization or members of an enforcer group linked to a drug trafficking organization who are ... using AK-47s or AR-15 rifles to threaten their victims,” it said. “They appear to be using local Mexican fishermen to operate the boats to get close to American fishermen.”

Our Army should be deployed to the border, and we should tell Mexico to fix it's problem or we will do it for them. We've done it once, and we're perfectly capable of doing it again.

I've been kind of interested to see what my new .308 R25 has for range.

But it would be strictly for plinking cans in the water.

Who wants to crew this with me?

I'll man the barrel swap and ammo, we'll obviously need more ammo, that thing only has 3 dummy rounds in it.

Maybe we should just load the rear of a few trucks with these and few members.

Why cant we just saw Mexico off the end of Texas and let it drift out to sea?

Those Mexican so called pirates, actually low class pelados (hairless ones) a term meaning the lowest of the lowest have nothings, have got a killing coming in a big way ! The people in our Nation's Capitol could care less about those scumbags murdering and robbing, or the drugs for that matter. What our US scumbags want is the Mexican pirates magically changed into American citizens for their vote to keep the American scumbags in office forever.

Yes, it would be real justice for real Texas Patriots to arm and go kill all the Mexican thugs in sight on the lake but it won't be allowed by our Government and the injustice will go on and on....I am about to opine that we should spray paraquat on Afghanistan's poppy fields, put a boot in Karzai's ass, let the terrorists eat him and Afghanistan up, bring the American fighting men and women home and place the whole group from Brownsville to San Diego, CA and have another
"Battle similiar to San Jacinto" with the drug cartels and thugs as opponents...Glad I wasn't shouting this, have to stop and get my breath! Remember the Alamo ! Remember Goliad !

We need to build a "redneck tactical". Basically a Ma Deuce mounted on a 80mph bass boat.

Those guys are the lowest form of excrement that there is. If they would have caught up to the couple they both may have died, or the wife taken to be raped etc. The latest news this morning was the Sheriff stating that they would have to tell the family that their hands were tied and they could do nothing. The Sheriff classified it as a "worst case scenario". The couple was supposed to be moving back to Colorado in the next few weeks. RIP to the young man who was murdered. The article is on KRGV.COM.

Nothing a few snipers could'nt fix. I hope the scumbags capsize and drown.

They're coming, it just takes red-tape time. The Army National Guard, the unit was in Iraq last year is bringing a few playtoys that my SSgt buddy couldn't even talk about on the phone. HELL is coming to the border.
