Mexican Drug Cartel Issues Million Dollar Bounty For Sheriff Joe's Head.

[twyacht]

Let's see, Mexican Sniper threats to shoot LEO's, their families, whether on or off duty. Federali helicopters, "buzzing" American airspace. Now a bounty for Sheriff Joe's head, plus an extra grand if you join the fight for the Cartel.

We are drawing down combat troops in Iraq, and I think there would be no shortage of volunteers if troops were stationed at the border and ordered to defend the border, and unleash hell on their piece of earth if attacked.

Mexican Drug Cartel Allegedly Puts a Price on Arizona Sheriff's Head

PHOENIX - He's been at the center of the discussions and controversies surrounding illegal immigration enforcement in Arizona for quite a while.

On the day parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the news for another reason: there's a price on his head - allegedly offered by a Mexican drug cartel.

The audio message in Spanish is a bit garbled, but the text is clear.

"It's offering a million dollars for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and offering a thousand dollars for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel."

A man who wants to remain anonymous says his wife received the text message Tuesday evening. It also included an international phone number and instructions to pass the message along.

"She showed it to me..I was kind of disgusted..I reported it to the Sheriff's department yesterday..they said they were going to direct the threat squad on it."

Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office says they believe the message originated in Mexico.

Although the Sheriff has received numerous death threats in the past, they believe this threat is credible because of its timing.

"Arpaio gets threats pretty routinely, but obviously with this heightened awareness of his role in the immigration issue we've got to take this one a little bit more seriously with a million dollar contract out on him," said Allen.

But she says what really concerns investigators is how quickly the message may have been spread. "It's going so many different places that our folks are looking at it and thinking well at any given point in time it could land in front of some crazy person who thinks I can do that."

As for Arpaio's reaction to the threat, "It's a little bit like water off a duck's back for him, but you never know if it's that sense of false bravado with him..you just can't read it, I'm sure he's concerned, I'm sure he's concerned for his family more than anything else," said Allen.

The Sheriff's office says investigators are trying to trace exactly where the text message came from, but because it did originate from an international number, that will be difficult too.

The Mexican cartels haven't learned what the Japanese already knew in 1941, a mainland invasion of the States, will always be a BAD idea. "Guns behind every blade of grass, needs to get into their "f"en heads." Easy or hard.

IMHO, we should EXTEND our Southern Border 20 miles into Mexico, Finish the damn wall, and HTFU with these cartels.

I can't think of a better endoresement than that!  If the Mexican Drug Cartel hates what you are doing then it is probably the correct, just and moral thing to do.  Keep up the great work Sheriff Joe!

If they're offering that much, you know they don't have the stones to try anything!

 This government is the same class of people who made those threats. Jan Brewer needs to mobilize the National guard and State defense forces. If some one killed Sheriff Joe, Obama would just have a beer with him. the lack of action against this tells me we are under a commie offensive from without and within. God save Joe!

thats nothing for a bounty from the cartels.  they must not want him dead that bad.
