Sad news in Tecate...Juan Soriano Killed
There doesn't seem to be light at the end of the tunnel yet.
By Lizbeth Diaz
REUTERS
December 4, 2007
TIJUANA, Mexico – Gunmen killed the police chief of a Mexican city bordering California Tuesday by shooting him some 50 times in an apparent revenge
attack after police found a drug-smuggling tunnel under the border.
Gunmen broke into the house of Tecate police chief Juan Soriano in the early hours of the morning and shot him repeatedly in the face and torso as he
slept in bed with his wife, an official at the Baja California state attorney general's office told Reuters. His wife was not hit.
The killing of Soriano, who had started his job only last week, appeared to be an act of revenge against Mexican police, who Monday discovered a
tunnel nearly a mile long running into California from Tecate near the Pacific coast after a tip-off from the U.S. Border Patrol.
"As soon as Soriano made public the discovery of the tunnel, he went home and hours later, they executed him in his bedroom," said the official, who
requested anonymity.
Police also found two tons of marijuana in a vehicle near the tunnel, which ran from an abandoned warehouse close to the Tecate crossing point into a
rural area of Southern California, and was one of the longest ever discovered along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Mexican government says the deployment of some 25,000 troops and federal police across Mexico is halting drug violence between warring cartels
fighting for dominance of smuggling routes to the United States, citing a fall in monthly murder tolls.
But violence has continued in Baja California, Mexico's bloodiest state, where more than 300 people have been killed this year.
Some 2,350 people have died in Mexican drug violence so far this year, most of them members of rival gangs.

Hit by 50 bullets, his wife was not, and no one saw a thing, sound familiar, this was a message sent and it was not from the cartel, no ******* way.

Smack, Smack. Are you awake yet Dennis. Jack was being facetious. Now I know that is a big word for you, but you can google it.

people who can take a joke.

I still can't tell if he was being facetious or not but, I've been preoccupied trying to figure out what seven letter word he had dumped. Does
anybody know? "Logical" fits. This is like a crossword puzzle.

You mean Wayne Newton the dancer?
Actually, I was thinking that since his wife was right next to him and wasn't hit that maybe she had it done. You know....Honeymoon's over, trouble
in Paradise and all that stuff.

I would have to side with Dennis on that one. The way Bajajack wrote it didn't appear facetious. I can see how it could be facetious, but subtlety is
lost in phrasing by novice writers. In the spoken language, intent would be made clearer by inflection.
Dennis is sometimes deserving of criticism. Aren't we all? In my opinion, this is not one of those times.
There is also the possibility that Bajajack is serious and is presenting an opinion. Doubtful, but I have seen others offer that opinion. (Picture a
straight face, no smile, wide eyes, eyebrows arched, no wink wink).

It did stay on topic. Someone offered an opinion. The opinion was questioned. This is what we do. We all want to know "who done it".
Your criticism is even more out of line than the criticism you are objecting to.
If you want to not hijack the thread, why don't you offer an opinion on the topic?

OK, without going into a lot of details that would probably be deleted anyway, it's pretty easy to figure out.
BP notifies chief of tunnel, whether crooked or honest he has no choice now but announce it, shortly thereafter 2 tons of grass are found by the
Tecate Police, same thing with them, they are now being watched and have no choice.
The grass was already at the border so the bad guys have already been paid and could really give a r*ts a**.
Now, who has the most to lose when the new chief has to start spilling his guts the next day?

Now that's almost as clear as my frosted bathroom window.
I think that I better have some serious Tequila.
I'm sure that after a quart or so, it should come to me. 
And BTW, Dennis's idea about the wife makes more sense.

I'm reading the report and watching the news on TV. Their having a live interview with the BP sector chief talking about the victorious tunnel find.
He gave a evasive answer about what was at the other end of the tunnel. He said it was in the hands of the Mexican narco police. Never mentioned the
Tecate shooting.
Who in the **** are the narco police?
Why do they have a sector chief who is english language challenged?

Just how much was found on the Mexican side of the tunnel waiting to be transported? and what was done with it, and where is it now, nobody knows.
(The police chief knew!!!!!!!!!)

This is a rough crowd. All of you tough guys should be issued automatic weapons from the (U.S. side of course) and sent to the border as Gringo decoys
in a Gringo camper and shoot the ******** yourselves. Sheesh
