The tabloid border Web site Lapolaka.com noticed the shootings in El Paso this weekend.
In its report on the two killed in the Northeast, and one shot and wounded in the Cincinnati Street area, the site uses the headline: JUARENSES TEMEN VISITAR EL PASO
Translation: Juarenses afraid to visit El Paso.
El Paso already has an excessive accumulation of "Juarenses" already. They don't need any more. That is why El Paso is getting dangerous.

If he thinks that this is dangerous, he hasn't been to Juarez lately. I would guess that the Juarenses would consider this a walk in the park when comparing El Paso to Juarez.

don't listen to the koester douchebag. Most violence in El Paso is still calculated. Those who kill kill those who they mean to kill.

The comment was tongue-in-cheek. Lapolaka has very clever headlines. It is pretty funny---with everything going on in all of Mexico it is funny that with 9 murders El Pasoans feel scared. www.dimequecrees.com

La Polaka is another tabloid yellow journalism online rag. The violence in El Paso is being caused by an invasion of U.S born, trash that is coming from other parts of the country and we will see this continue and get worse over the next few years.
The other day I was in downtown El Paso and was shocked to see two guys looking like gang members walking down the street with blue rags haning from their back pockets. Those are Crips colors, yes they are moving into town, probably Bloods along with them. El Paso police and the County Attorney need to keep up the proactive strategies that have worked in the past to stop gang violence from getting worse like it was 15 years ago. Bring back the Gang Task Force, and CRASH City Response Against Street Hoodlums UNITS.

I don't feel scared at all since I started packing heat. I've recently purchased 6 handguns, 4 rifles and a shotgun. It's only a matter of time before Obama wants to take away our firearms so I'm prepared. I did accidentally shoot my wife when my gun discharged while I was cleaning it, but that's a small price to pay to feel safe. Besides, she fine now - it was only a flesh wound. If anyone tries to mess with me, I'll definitely shoot first and argue later.

I too have qualified for my CHL for this purpose. At no point will I be a victim of a crime.

u.s for its size. quit complaining.

at night. stack up on tv trays, turn on
dancing with the stars and you'll feel fine
again.
