Border violence, this time on our side
Well I would say that it is not exactly the first batch of violence on this side of the border but I have been wondering when we would start to see it reported more.

Police Chief: Border Violence Has Offically Crossed Over
Last Update: 10/04 6:24 pm
BROWNSVILLE – Brownsville Police Chief Carlos Garcia says the border violence has officially crossed over into the Valley. Two Tamaulipas men were assassinated inside a truck Friday.
The chief of police says the investigation has led them to believe this wasn’t a crime committed by someone in the US. “This was a hit ordered by the cartel,” he says.
Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos isn’t surprised to see spillover violence in Brownsville. He says, “it was a matter of time before it trickled down to our community.”
Residents say they didn't think it would become a reality. One woman who wanted to conceal her identity says witnessing a crime, such as the shooting of the Tamaulipas men, could be very dangerous. "If an innocent family would have been passing by and seen that they would have been the next target," said one woman. She worries about future violence and is considering moving out of the Valley.
Cascos advises everyone to be cautious and more aware of their surroundings.

U.S. terrorism ( Fictitious attack)
*** Note, this is not a real news story but fictitious***
For immediate release
Written by: Andrea Davis
ZPN NEWS WIRE
Tragedy today from Americas heartland as hundreds are killed in an apparent terrorist attack in the small city of Muncie, Indiana located roughly one hour north of the state capital, Indianapolis. Approximately 35 heavily armed men carrying fully automatic weapons and explosives attacked several targets to include the local police department, State Patrol and Sheriff's office, the largest and most devastated targets were the two largest High Schools, Muncie Central and Muncie Southside, both schools have a combined attendance of about 2,300 students.
Carnage and absolute destruction rained down upon this small town of approximately 67,000 shortly around 9:30 am when the initial attack began using improvised explosives that were inside small cars and trucks that were strategically placed outside the various law enforcement agencies and schools. Police had to only walk out their front entrances to witness the attacks and respond, only they did not know that these explosions were to only draw out police and emergency responders into an automatic weapons firefight.
Sadly the terrorists plans to draw off law enforcement worked as their primary goal of assaulting two high schools and the killing of as many students as possible. Officials will not release the numbers of those slain but the fear is that over 640 students and staff have been the victims of this horrific act of terrorism. At this time resources from around the country are pouring in to the state to try and bring the situation under control, State police and the F.B.I. have taken over control of the on going crisis and at the time of the filing of this report there are still unconfirmed reports of undetonated car bombs and terrorists still on the loose.

One month after the most devastating shooting attacks on U.S. soil, the aftereffects are still being felt and will be felt for some time to come. We have official reports from the F.B.I. indicating that the death tool stands at 683 people. This number does not including the 34 suspected terrorists. More victims are expected to die from their injuries in the near future. Although the F.B.I. does not know exactly how many terrorists were involved, they are confident that the number was close to 35. The F.B.I. have confirmed that one terrorist has been captured and has been moved to an undisclosed location for interrogation. Information from the suspect so far is that they (the terrorists) crossed the Mexican/Texas border with their weapons and explosives. The F.B.I. believe that the group had additional help from inside the country and those leads are being pursued.
The effects of this terrorist attack are still widespread with fear gripping the nation. Due to a lack of attendance nationwide, schools are closed and not expected to open for some time, safety and security concerns are the main factor. The economy has taken a massive hit due to the attacks as most people are staying home or only working if they can. There have also been massive riots due to extreme cases of food and material shortages, everyone seems to be bracing for further attacks. The government and national guard units are expected to begin a system of convoys to get needed goods moving again. Food, fuel and medical supplied are the main priority and there are also rumors of a temporary rationing plan to curb hoarding. Various presidential executive orders are also being implemented so that the government can ensure high value services can be maintained.

The story above is fictional but in my opinion have every chance of happening anywhere here in the U.S. or in any other country for that matter, all one has to do is look at what happened in the Beslan school hostage crisis in the Russian Federation. This article was spurred by 2 articles, one being the recent terror alert for U.S. citizens in Europe, Chinasyndrome got me started with it http://chinasyndrome-enemyofthestate.blogspot.com/2010/10/attacks-with-assault-weapons.html the other article written by BLW that stirred this post goes into some of the very same detail but expands upon it with respects to how it effects the prepper community and why it should be a part of your preparedness plans. http://thesurvivalretreat.blogspot.com/2010/10/does-terrorism-really-effect-your.html
Please take the time to read all of the links for the above articles as it will put everything into prospective. Thanks everyone for their time in reading this blog.
