| U.S. Consulate employees slain in broad daylight |

| For the first time in memory, Mexico's drug cartel has targeted U.S. diplomatic personnel and their families in the savage and brutal war for control of the Mexican/U.S. border in Ciudad Juarez. That section of the border is where a majority of illegal drugs enter the U.S. and where weapons and cash return back to the drug cartel's who "control" the operations. However, what took place this weekend is unprecedented. Employees of the U.S. Embassy in Northern Mexico were shot to death in two separate drive-by shootings in broad daylight, and in both cases young babies were in the back seats, left alive. Even President Obama held a press conference to condemn these cowardly acts. Mexico doesn't have a bail bond system like here in the States. It's either "kill, or be killed", and the level of violence taking place between competing gangs and drug cartels is reaching epidemic proportions. It is no secret that billions of dollars are at stake in these turf wars, and local law enforcement in Mexico is simply no match for the brazen, fearless cartel members who wish to have their drug and weapon routes left open by authorities who are cracking down on their existence. It remains unclear why these particular people were targeted, and all U.S. employees of the Mexican Consulate have been cleared to return to the States until further notice. This is an issue that will remain for a long time to come. Maybe we can bring some of our troops home from Iraq to take control of this mess near the El Paso, Texas/Mexican border ??!! |

| Man Apprehends Robbery Suspect in Long Beach |

| Hello to all.....One of the "best" stories that caught my eye from this past weekend was regarding one David Jones. Mr. Jones was inside the Farmers and Merchants bank in Long Beach on friday afternoon when he witnessed a man barrel thru the front door with a gun in hand AND STARTED SHOOTING it immediately !!!!! Now, i don't know about you but i would have shit a brick; anyhow, Mr. Jones watched in horror as the gunman shot a bank customer in the thigh. That customer had the nerve to grab the gunman and begin to wrestle with the weapon. At that exact moment, Mr. Jones decided to intervene. He immediately grabbed the gunman and threw him to the ground in a strong tussle, which dislodged the gun from the robber's hands. Unfortunately, another bank employee was shot (not seriously) during the scrum when the weapon discharged again. However, that was it, as Mr. Jones was able to free the weapon from the gunman's hand and keep him pinned to the ground until authorities arrived. Needless to say Mr. Jones is a big burly man who used his size to his advantage indeed !! As it turns out, this robbery suspect is wanted in connection for at least 5 other bank robberies in the Southland and is currently in police custody with a 1,000,000 bail. See, i guess crime really DOES'NT pay after all.......... |

| Olympic Hangover |

| Hello to all.......well, i don't know about you, but i'm still reeling from the United States' chance to win it's first gold medal in hockey in 50 years !!!!! Unfortunately, we lost to Canada 3-2. Granted, Canada is where the sport of hockey originated, so it's not like we lost to Kazahkstan or something. It just frustrates me that the U.S. had such a "golden" opportunity to make olympic, and sporting, history.......and we lost it. Literally, in an overtime that was as tense and excitement filled as any moment in sporting news memory. I have watched with pride as the U.S. , once world hockey doormats, rise up and become a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. We played the entire olympic games with a vigor and passion that showed me that hockey in this country is here to stay !!! For years now (or since Wayne Gretzky retired) there has been "talk" that the sport of hockey is not "making it" here in southern california and beyond. And, to some degree, thats been true. In fact, ESPN, the nations most watched sports news network even let the t.v. rights to hockey slip away to a competitor without a fight 4 years ago. However, now ESPN is in talks to bring it back to their network and help make it one of America's most watched sports. And deservedly so, because 20 million people watched the gold medal game on Sunday, and i bet a couple of them were ESPN executives. Stay out of trouble, but call me if you don't...........Dan |
