Something needs to be done to these monsters ... pure evil.


Harrowing new details have emerged in the slaughter of three Mormon mothers and six of their children after cartel gunmen opened fire in a grisly ambush in Mexico on Monday.
Nine members of the LeBaron family were attacked eight miles apart on Monday while traveling in a convoy of three SUVS on a dirt road.
One hero mother died shielding her seven-month-old daughter who survived, it has since emerged. And a 13-year-old boy hid his siblings from gunmen in bushes and walked 13 miles to get help.

We live in a dark world where evil never rests my friend. The dems party with its millions of liberals/leftists here will use this tragic incident of slaughter to cry about how we should just let in millions more immigrants from Mek-Eco- as they are all just fleeing such violence.
The fact that this further proves why we need a very secure border wall, will never be mentioned by such vermin..-Tyr

Yup, read about this all day yesterday. Trump has went as far as to offer to help wipe them out. I don't know about all of that and our full involvement over the border, but would be nice to see them all magically eliminated.

They captured El Chapo's son last week, and all hell instantly broke loose and the cartel went on the offensive of all the police in the area and then some. The police actually backed off and released him so as to avoid all the war that was suddenly happening. That's how much power the cartels have over the police down there. That's insane.

Horror: American Mormon Family Slaughtered in Mexico; Trump Vows to Wage 'War' on Drug Cartel 'Monsters'

A family of Mormons who had lived in a community along the Mexican border for decades was apparently ambushed by members of a drug cartel who massacred nine women and children.

The LeBaron family had lived in the small Mormon community for decades. The family, who are American citizens, are an offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some are speculating that the ambush, carried out in broad daylight was a case of mistaken identity. But the LeBaron's have a history of opposing the drug trade -- two family members were murdered a decade ago for opposing the cartels. It seems likely that the cartels wanted to drive the family out of Mexico by murdering their women and children.

The president responded strongly to the outrage.


A wonderful family and friends from Utah got caught between two vicious drug cartels, who were shooting at each other, with the result being many great American people killed, including young children, and some missing. If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these.....

....monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively. The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2019

And Trump offered to help the Mexican army do battle with the cartels, which have been gaining ground in recent months.


This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2019

In fact, the previous Mexican administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto continued a "war" on the cartels that had been going on for almost a decade that only served to increase the bloodshed and which led to massive corruption of the army, the police, and the court system. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died in the violence from both the cartels and the police.

The "great new president" of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, actually announced that the "war" on the cartels was over and made it clear to Trump that the door is shut.

Teen hid siblings, walked 14 miles for help after Mormon family killed in attack

GALEANA, Mexico (AP) — The eight children, some mere infants, who survived the ambush in northern Mexico not only escaped the drug cartel gunmen who killed their mothers but managed to hide in the brush, with some walking miles to get help despite grisly bullet wounds.


In a testament to a mother’s devotion, one woman reportedly stashed her baby on the floor of her Suburban and got out of the vehicle, waving her arms to show the gunmen she wasn’t a threat. She may have moved away from the vehicle to distract their attention; her bullet-ridden body was found about 15 yards (meters) away from the SUV.


The mother was one of nine U.S. citizens — three women and six children all living in northern Mexico — slaughtered Monday when cartel gunmen ambushed three SUVs along a dirt road in an attack that left one vehicle a burned-out, bullet-riddled hulk. Mexican officials said the gunmen may have mistaken the group’s large SUVs for those of a rival gang amid a vicious turf war.


Criminal investigators said late Tuesday that a suspect was arrested and is under investigation for possible connections with the deaths. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Agency for Criminal Investigation for the state of Sonora said that the suspect was found in the town of Agua Prieta, right at the border with the U.S. state of Arizona, holding two hostages who were gagged and tied inside a vehicle.


The suspect, whose gender was not specified in the release, was also found in the possession of four assault rifles and ammunition, as well as various large vehicles including a bullet-proofed SUV, the agency said.


The five wounded children were seriously enough injured that Mexican authorities flew them to the border in a military helicopter to receive hospital care in the United States. Sonora state health officials said they were “stable” at the moment of transfer. Three other children who were not wounded are in the care of family members in the tiny hamlet of La Mora in northern Mexico.


But what the children went through in the remote, mountainous area of Sonora state is nearly indescribable.


Kendra Miller, a relative, said in an account of the shootings that Devin Blake Langford, 13, was one of the few uninjured young people and quickly took charge, eventually walking about 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) back to La Mora for help.


“After witnessing his mother and brothers being shot dead, Devin hid his six other siblings in the bushes and covered them with branches to keep them safe while he went for help,” according to the account. “When he took too long to return, his 9-year-old sister left the remaining five to try again.”


That girl, Mckenzie Rayne Langford, walked for hours in the dark before she was found several hours after the other children were rescued. She was listed as missing for a while.


Altogether, the kids were on their own from about 1:00 p.m., when the ambush began, until about 7:30 p.m., when they were rescued. Relatives from La Mora tried to reach them before that, but were turned back by gunfire. The area is the site of a cartel turf war.


In recordings of calls between the rescuers, they can be heard debating whether it was better to risk more lives, or wait for an hour or two until Mexican army troops arrived. It was an agonizing decision.


What they saw when they found the children was terrifying.


Cody Greyson Langford, 8, had been shot in the jaw and bled profusely. Another girl had been shot in the foot and the back.


The killers were apparently members of the Juarez drug cartel and its armed wing, La Linea — “The Line” — whose gunmen had entered Sinaloa cartel territory and set up an armed outpost on a hilltop and an ambush further up the road. The Juarez cartel apparently wanted to send a message that it controlled the road into Chihuahua. It was this invasion force that the American mothers and their three vehicles drove into.


It was only after the first vehicle was shot up and set afire that 50 or 60 Sinaloa cartel gunmen showed up to see what had happened.


But it isn’t the cruelty of the cartel, but the bravery, innocence and sacrifice of the victims that relatives want remembered.


Austin Cloes, a relative of the victims, said from his home in Salt Lake City that they were good people who loved their children and enjoyed their quiet lives based around a successful pecan farming operation.


“This sort of thing shouldn’t go unnoticed,” said Cloes, who works with at-risk youth and coaches high school basketball. “And these sorts of people shouldn’t just be buried without their names being put out there. These are great people.”


The dead in the attacks included a mother, her 8-month-old twins, her 10-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son. Another mother lay dead in the front seat of another Suburban, along with the bullet-riddled bodies of her sons, ages 11 and 2.


The victims lived in Sonora state, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of Douglas, Arizona, in the hamlet of La Mora, which was founded decades ago by an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many La Mora residents call themselves Mormons but are not affiliated with any church.


A number of such American farming communities are clustered around the Chihuahua-Sonora state border. Many members were born in Mexico and have dual citizenship. While some of the splinter groups were once polygamous, many no longer are.


All of the victims were apparently related to the extended LeBaron family in Chihuahua, whose members have run afoul of the drug traffickers over the years. Benjamin LeBaron, an anti-crime activist who founded neighborhood patrols against cartels, was killed in 2009.


The victims had set out to visit relatives in Chihuahua. One woman was headed to the airport in Phoenix to meet her husband.


While a drug-related violence has been raging for years in Mexico, the attack underscored the way cartel gunmen have become increasingly unconcerned about killing children as collateral damage. In August in Chihuahua state, cartel gunmen fired 123 bullets at a man and also killed three girls, ages 4, 13 and 14. In June, a young boy was killed along with his father in Sonora state. In July, a 10-year-old was killed during a robbery in Puebla state.

Here's what I think they need to do. They need to get the names of ALL involved from this guy. These scumbags in Mexico are almost as bad as folks like Isis. Waterboard this guy until he gives up the goods. Then hold him in a padded cell for now and go gather all of the others.

Now waterboard each and every one of them to ensure nothing was being missed. Then kill them all by sundown.

Harsh? Look what they did. :( :(

Suspect Arrested In Connection To Massacre Of American Mormon Family

Mexican authorities said they have arrested one suspect in connection to the killing of nine women and children traveling near the U.S.-Mexican border.

The Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigations, a Mexican federal agency tasked with combating organized crime, announced on Tuesday that it has detained one person believed to be involved in the massacre of nine people who were driving through the Mexican state of Sonora, according to a CNN report.

The suspect, who has yet to be identified, was holding two bound and gagged hostages in Sonora before authorities made the apprehension. The agency noted that the suspect was also in possession of numerous large-caliber weapons and lots of ammunition at the time of his arrest.

The arrest comes after a Mormon family was ambushed while traveling between the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua on Monday. While driving in three separate vehicles, the group was suddenly ambushed by gunfire. A relative of some of the victims said there were two separate attacks, and likely carried out by the same cartel.

Survivors have since illustrated horrific details of the massacre.

Many family members died of gunfire, while others were trapped inside a flaming vehicle. One child who tried running away was gunned down by the assailants. One mother reportedly hid her baby on the floor of her car and exited the vehicle, waving her arms in front of the attackers to show she wasn’t a threat — her bullet-ridden body was later found near the SUV.

Altogether, nine people were killed, including two infants, four children, and three women.

In a notable example of courage, eight children — some of whom were infants — not only survived the ambush, but were able to escape the gunmen by hiding in nearby brush. Some of them walked miles to seek help, despite bullet wounds to their bodies.
