Load Up On Guns, Bring Your Friends

A few weeks ago, after Querétaro was named the second-safest state in Mexico (fuck you, Yucatán), we predicted that this would result in even more money being dumped into the militarization of the police force here. And of course within days the governor delivered a million bucks worth of completely unnecessary new gear to the PGJ.

Not to be outdone, the mayor (he's the unarmed mafioso-looking guy) swung by the municipal police HQ to drop off a goodie bag filled with AR-15s (564 of them!), 25 retrofitted Chevy pickups, some riot gear, and a specially-equipped SWAT truck - one of only two in the country, with three fortified gun hatches "to allow the vehicle to enter into high-risk situations." We're not aware of Querétaro ever having had a riot before, but we're sure that just proves that the police-state approach is working. If this place gets any safer, the Federal government will probably send in unmanned surveillance drones.
Update: And yet with all the firepower they have, security forces apparently relied on paintball guns to keep the crowd in line at Thursday night's soccer game. Weird.

Your title line made me think of The Greatest Line In Cinema History, namely "Leave the gun, take the cannoli", which, while longish, would be the name of the band should I ever form one.

Oh don't mind me Frank, I just came back to download where you have listed my name and the link which you link to may name which you just think is so fucking funny. I'm just adding it to the collection, I have quite a collection here aside from the emails - I thought the one either Fulano or Roels did of manipulating the software to show where I formerly lived was really great. I sent a message to Fulano (Linton) that if he removed the parody on me and all the bullshit he has written about me there and on his other site - Talk Baja - I would take down what I've written about the Baja Nomads and their members. But, I guess he doesn't care. You like the Nomads, right bright boy? Yea, that's what I thought - you just sucked their cocks while they campaigned against Kerry & Gore and said there was no global warming. And yet, here Frank is the uber liberal. Wow, how do you manage to balance it Frank? You are one cocksucker - and so is Fulano. Tell Fulano I am not chubby, I am not.
