Prosecutors being hunted down in Texas

Until then, it's worth tracking down David Grann's New Yorker piece on the Aryan Brotherhood.

 

It will also be interesting to see if the press even touches the cartel angle, which is much more plausible than the Aryan Brotherhood. The DA in question had exactly zero cases involving the Aryan Brotherhood. Not saying it was or was not the AB, but the cartel would be much more likely.

 

Who said anything about this board? I'm referring to Republicans in general.

Such as this pastor: ""We believe an armed society is a peaceful society. This is Texas, and everybody has a gun.""

Or one of our favorite governors:

"Republican Gov. Rick Perry said last month that the effort by the "political left" and news media to exploit the Connecticut massacre to push for gun-control measures "disgusts me." "

Or maybe explain why our friend Glenn has a book titled "Real America"?

 

Why?

Kaufman County is quite a distance from the border.

 

Why should this board fall victim to the trappings of political cliche? Can't we have a more enlightened conversation?

Government of any structure doesn't work when the justice system cannot enforce laws. This issue has little to do with the two political parties. Neither can function with terrorism from anarchist groups poisoning the system.

 

It is quite a bit closer to the border than it is to where the Colorado killing the AP is trying to link this to occurred.

 

DA was a gun owner and even boasted that "I'm ahead of everybody else ..."

Um, guess not.

 

The AP is reporting the ABs are the prime suspects because that's what the LEOs are telling them.

In December, Texas DPS issued an alert that the ABs were planning revenge against the agencies that helped get the indictments against 34 of their brothers. The Kaufman County DA's office was one of those agencies.

 

They did not say they were "prime suspects." They said they are looking for a possible link. Let me know when they find one. Meanwhile, how much ink has the AP spent discussing the cartel possibility?

If the LEOs are all saying the ABs are the top suspects and not mentioning the cartels, what would you have the AP do?

"While various law enforcement sources say Aryan Brotherhood of Texas members are the prime suspects in the murders, the Associated Press just wants to throw out there that maybe, just maybe, it's the Mexican drug cartels. Hey, you never know, right?"

 

Well, one good thing is, considering it's Texas, if the actual killers are convicted, the chances are excellent they'll get the DP.
