FUnny as hell quote from Laredo Police spokesman

[OLS]

Frightened people on the U.S. side of the border called emergency dispatchers after hearing the gunfire, Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza said Thursday. But he said there was no spillover violence.

"We were getting reports from people who live on the river's edge that they could hear gunfire and explosions from the Mexico side," Baeza said.

"We didn't have any incidents on the American side. It's hard for people to understand who don't live here," he added. "They're not Vikings, they're not going to invade us, it doesn't work that way."

my friend works in Laredo doing the same thing I do and when I visited him on Thursday he said they hear gun fire all the time on the Mexican side. Unfortunately its a way of life that hopefully stays on that side.

And you didn't call for a herf?

That said Baeza, oy that dude. Not that he isn't right though, for the most part.

Hurry up I leave at the end of August. Got a promotion and new job in Houston.

Nice, however with our border issues it wouldn't take much to invade....

Pretty disheartening, something needs to be done and quickly.

My company actually dropped its firearm policy which didn't allow us to have any weapons on us or in the trucks when we started working close to the border.
