Bullet fired in Mexico hits El Paso woman

It seems to be an indicator of how out of control things are getting. The last thing the Cartels should want is a beefed up military presence on the border...bad for business. So their thugs are either out of control or the Cartels no longer fear an American response. The border could easily become a war zone for both sides. Mexico will not declare war on the US nor vice versa. But war might be declared on the Cartels.

Wow. Talk about bad luck.

You have hit it on the head! With the politicians we have in office at this moment the cartels no longer fear a response.

Also, there have been a number of DEA and other Federal Agencies that were involved in raids against the cartel here on American soil that have been targeted and slaughtered. This isn't a Mexican problem anymore! The... [More]

This happens once in a while. Stay shots have often come down and injured or killed people. Search "celebratory gunfire" on wikipedia. There are a number of known occurances of people being hit miles away. I know this was actually from a shootout, but yeah...same concept

I agree with much of what you had to say.... I grew up in El Paso, all of my family still live there including my children.... Scares the crap out of me. Tensions on the border have never been good. Even as a kid I remember mexicans coming over and kidnaping weathly US chldren for ransom. (if they were lucky) But one thing to be aware of. In our country we say its the cartels, the drug cartels. That is propoganda against what the real issue is going on. By us stating its the drug cartels, we can further demonize drugs in this country to beef up our "war against drugs", and we can wash our hand... [More]

That's why you don't fire your gun in the air...

The bullet was just homesick.

What I've never understood is why our Government seems to go out of its way to do things that aren't its job as per the Constitution, but yet doesn't seem interested in doing those things that are implicitly defined in the Constitution.

Im surprised I havent been shot while hiking near the shooting range down the road from the park...
