Since I first started this thread, well--everyone seems to know about this now. Unfortunately, despite apparent (and I do stress apparent) efforts by Mexican government and military, things are worse. This year so far, the murder count is about 1400--up 45% from last year. And that has spread to general lawlessness; kidnapping, carjacking, robbery--NO ONE goes over there now if they can help it. There is no rule of law, no one to trust, and no one to help.
If you're interested, here is a recent and very nice article by a bi-national engineer on the current state of affairs: http://newspapertree.com/features/40...-created-equal I'm very sad for the Mexican people.

El Paso is getting a lot of refugees. Those who can afford to leave Cd. Juarez, or who have relatives here they can stay with, have. I sit on my balcony and watch the helicopters patrol at night.
And just this week our local pd has raided and arrested four very small home pot growers. Like -- 2 plants to 2 lbs. This does not make sense to me. (shakes head)

So, it's not so much a war on drugs as it is a bully on drugs.

What I want to know is, how did the police KNOW there were two pot plants in that apartment? It doesn't sound like a high tech operation to me...

that was my first question, too.
After discussion with my cow orkers, the consensus is "kids." Or it could be a roofer, or meter guy, or . . . or None of those operations looks really big enough to throw a red flag up for utility use I don't think. If they get a report, they have to act on it, I guess.

Heh...yeah.
Police reports: Hey, we had 400 drug busts last month. Chico was smoking a j in an alley. Barb and Fred had 1/32nd oz of smoke. Mark took a hit from a bong at a party. We are nipping it IN THE BUD!
