Pirates of Falcon Lake

[markw]

"Twice in recent weeks, fishermen have been robbed at gunpoint by marauders that the local sheriff says are "spillover" from fighting between rival Mexican drug gangs.

Boaters are concerned about their safety, and the president of the local Chamber of Commerce is trying to assure people that everything's fine on the U.S. side of the lake."

With our ever-efficient border patrol, for how long?

I'm surprised anyone in TX is robbed, considering how many people have guns. IIRC, "He needed killin' " is still a valid murder defense down there, too.

I'm pretty sure that if the on-water problems get bad enough, it's gonna be open season on anyone who acts like they're attacking.
