    Default USAF member gunned down by drug lords

    They are coming across the border in increasing numbers. Pretty soon this type of violence will erupt in the U.S. This is much more of a threat to our country than any radical Muslim faction.

    A member of the U.S. Air Force was among the victims in the mass shooting that killed six people and wounded 10 others early today when gunmen opened fire at a strip club in Juárez.

    A spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general's office said David Booher Montanez, 26, a member of the U.S. Air Force was among six people killed at the Amadeus strip club on Ejecito Nacional boulevard.

    This afternoon, officials at Holloman Air Force Base sent out a news release that said, "Officials with the 49th Fighter Wing have confirmed the death of Staff Sgt. David Booher in Juarez, Mexico on the morning of Nov. 4."

    You would think the military would make Juárez off limits to personel. Hell, I won't even drive through El Paso...

    This is true. Funny how our politicians are ignoring it or offering token gestures like a fence to stop it. All politicians are to blame because they want both the cheap labor and the cheap votes.

    Maybe you didn't notice but Juarez is in Mexico, not the U.S.

    Which is true, but that doesn't diminish the fact that this kind of violence occurs on American soil everyday for the same reasons.
