The Mexican Invasion ... for real

I fear for our Phoenix-area friends at the Exurban League. According to KFYI radio, either "current or former" members of the Mexican Army invaded the home of an Arizonan. They were in full body armor, helmets, and wielded assault rifles, killing the homeowner.

Police reports show that three men arrested in a Phoenix home invasion and homicide Monday may have been active members of the Mexican Army.

While on the J.D. Hayworth show, Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Mark Spencer said that the men involved were hired by drug cartels to perform home invasions and assassinations.

The Monday morning incident at 8329 W. Cypress St. resulted in the death of the homeowner. Between 50 and 100 rounds were fired at the house.

Spencer said a police officer told him that one of the men captured said they were completely prepared to ambush Phoenix police, but ran out of ammunition.

He added that all were all dressed in military tactical gear and were armed with AR-15 assault rifles. Three other men involved in the invasion escaped.

Now the home in question was suspected to be that of either a drug dealer or drug holder who ran afoul of a pretty serious-minded Mexican kingpin. But still. They were prepared to turn their guns on the Phoenix police, but ran out of ammo and fled instead. Lucky day for the Phoenix Police Department.

The Phoenix PD has "not confirmed" that the culprits were active Mexican Army, but admitted that one suspect revealed that he had "prior military training."

Of course, if we were guarding our border properly — with, I dunno, a fence?— perhaps these Mexicans couldn't have just strolled into a Phoenix suburb to wreak military-type havoc.
