The last remaining police officer in the town of Guadalupe was kidnapped by gunmen on Monday and has not been seen.
FOX News reported:
The lone police officer in the Mexican border village of Guadalupe remained missing on Tuesday, five days after reportedly being abducted by gunmen who stormed her home.
Erika Gandara, 28, was the Mexican village’s entire police force in the farming communities in the valley of Juarez, the El Paso Times reports.A spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general’s office told the newspaper on Monday that authorities were aware of the incident involving Gandara, but there was still no official report of the kidnapping. Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for prosecutors in northern Chihuahua state, said a search has begun for Gandara, who hasn’t been since seen Dec. 23.
Sandoval said Tuesday that the search started as a missing-person case.
The rural valley, which is across the border from El Paso, Texas, is a busy smuggling corridor and has been plagued with narcotics-related violence. Three severed heads were left in an ice chest in the plaza in Guadalupe, the newspaper reports, with one of the heads belonging to a police commander. Several town council members have also been murdered.

An example of how to stand up for what is right….even in the face of personal harm. Maybe not an exact parallel, but, it sounds like she’s cut from the same cloth many of our Founding Fathers were.
I hope it was swift and painless.

As much as I spew on Mexico and Mexicans, I truly admit that it is just the bribe taking incompetent government and the illegals invading America that are what piss me off. This brave woman is an exemplar of the every day Mexican. She’s someone trying to live a decent life and in her case trying to help her fellow citizens have a safe life as well.
A hat tip to officer Gandara and a flaming bag of excrement to the lousy government she works under.

Clearly this border violence is caused by climate change. Luckily Janet Incompetano is working on that “problem”.

But please, welcome all those good “south of the border” immigrants with open arms.. Because my God, they’re just like us ,looking for a good job…However, they kill anything and anyone who gets in their way. That could be a problem.. I say exterminate the a**holes who whopped her off. Where in the hell are our men with guns, in the U.S.? If my father was alive this would not be happening…
apodoca commented:
May God grant her rest. That is the kind of madness Obama wants inflicting our shores. Why else would he constantly turn a blind eye to drug cartel depredations in the border states?

The violence in Mexico is a direct consequence of the drug use in the U.S. Every person doing drugs in this country has blood on their hands. This travesty we call the “War on Drugs” only serves as a price support for illegal drugs.
We should either decriminalize drugs, or make it a REAL war on the drug traffickers.
gastorgrab commented:
Can’t we park a satellite over the area and at least direct the Mexican military?

Totally agree. Drug use is ILLEGAL, as is the SALE of it. It’d be FAIR if people didn’t use it and had the laws changed so they COULD use it legally – fair but stupid – but what we have now is an embrace of illegality – me me me my my my selfish wants trump laws.
Make it legal and the illegality embracers will then want some OTHER law they regularly break changed, then another. Anarchy.
Any drug user has blood on his or her hands. There is a free choice, to use or not to use, and they’ve decided it’s not their skin that gets flayed, their head chopped off, they’re not the cop who gets killed.
They weep over blue cartoon people being fake blown up by animated soldiers who don’t exist, but say nothing or shrug when they desire ‘unobtanium’ to snort into their noses, brought to them by drug cartels who tear people, families, villages, towns, cities, nations apart to deliver it to them.

i’m sure your (and many others) words are represented in the following:
what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil..
that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the
harsh realities they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in
with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all
is good even if [the] all is evil.. – bg

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe, mystical rose, intercede for the Church, protect
the Holy Father, help all who invoke you in their necessities. Since you are
the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your
most holy Son the Grace of a firm faith and sure hope amid the bitterness
of life, as well as an ardent love and the precious gift of final perseverance.
Amen.

I remember when she first took the job, not too long ago, after the entire police force in that town had either quit or been murdered. I posted about her bravery at that page I run on facebook at the time. This saddens me deeply, may God bless her courageous soul. I will pray for her and her loved ones.

The 90′s catchphrase that became (or came out of) a life-guiding philosophy:
“Hey, man, it’s all good!”
(I mean, hey man, it’s all good, except Christians, Christianity, Jews, Yahweh, Christ, and white European-descendents. They’re BAD-BAD. Not “evil”, since there is no such thing, though, but still deserving of all the bad things that can happen to anyone…)
Everything else is good! Voodoo? Good! Islam? Good! Transcendental Meditation? Good! Infanticide? Good! Wanton debauchery? Good! Kill, Steal, Destroy? Good!
Tjexcite commented:
What do you call that now, tribal warfare. A city without a police force but it has gang members who rule their very own kingdom with everything that is done in their area has to go though the gang leadership. Could we call it Waziristan without religion. The whole area has devolved into more than drug gangs it is now Aztec and Maya with guns over bows they even have the same human sacrifice but not real to a god but just for the death. It will take the same thing that ended the Aztec and Maya to have this come anywhere near modern civil area again.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Think on: why is Christianity (and it’s co-religion, Judaism) the only BAD? The only thing that it’s (to the Left/Progs) really really bad to teach about — in any way except negative — in American public schools? They teach TM in schools. A satanic cult. Crystal worship. Secular Humanism. Bhuddism.
All is good except that which is TRUE. This holds true for the producers of most television drama shows, as well.
The reason is TRUTH.
Lies are all good, to the Left/Progs.
That is, to the WORLD, and the spirit which guides it. Anything goes. Except the truth of Scripture. Even Islam. You would think that Islam would qualify to the World as a BAD, since it fits their twisted views of Christianity moreso than does Christianity itself, but no. It is a LIE, so it is good, to the Left/Progs. Anything which comes ultimately from man or Satan is good to these people. Anything which comes from the true God of Creation is bad, and must be ridiculed, persecuted, and eliminated.
Everything else is good. Even murder-cults like Islam.

Truly heartbreakingingly tragic. Mexican illegals are as much a threat as radical Islam. When will the United States wake up. May this brave woman rest in peace. Women are risking their lives to preserve Freedom.

Time for a remake of The Magnificent Seven. For real.
Just consider: If James Cameron or Sylvester Stallon would spend $50- $100 million on some actual mercernaries to liberate such towns, instead of films that pretend there are pretend mercenaries doing it, maybe we’d get somewhere in getting rid of bad guys. Nope, we have Hollywood at great expense, time and effort, that makes films about good guys getting bad guys, but it’s all just nothing – never was, never will be.

I wonder that the Left uses the fantasies of films to assuage their guilt. How many piously wept for blue cartoon Na’Vii over real, black Darfurians?
One leaves the theatre, with psychic satisfaction with the climatic smack-down of the designated evil ones, but it’s not real and nothing was actually accomplished in getting rid of evil.
NavyMom commented:
What infuriates me is the ever increasing demand for drugs here in the US. What is wrong with people that they don’t understand how they’re destroying everyone — including themselves — with their flippant drug consumption?
Grow up, druggies! Face facts: Life is hard for all of us, but that doesn’t mean the best way to deal with it is to be stoned out of your mind.
I’m fed up, sick & tired, and out of patience with drug users.
GrayRider commented:
How about we send all of the illegal alien Mexicans (that would be 70% of the 20 – 30 million illegal aliens already here) back to their homeland so they can deal with the anarchist drug cartel problem.

Try studying history, NavyMom. People are going to do what they want regardless of the consequences, even unto DEATH. Ever hear of the Great Prohibition? How did that turn out?
The key is FREEDOM and LIBERTY for all. If someone is of such a weak character that they want to destroy their life using drugs, so be it. If they harm someone along the way, then they pay the price. You cannot legislate morality.
PJ commented:
So sad. Vaya con Dios, brave lady.
Whatever happened to the young women who volunteered to be the police chief in a border town? I’m afraid to ask…
greenfairie commented:
If I were a judge, I’d send the Lindsay Lohans and the other mostly middle class white hipster douches who fuel the hard drug industry to Mexico to bury the bodies of those killed by the cartels, to pick up the severed heads, and talk to the families of those kidnapped, tortured, and murdered all for their kicks. The “War On Drugs” isn’t working because it’s a war on supply not on demand. Though I think people who sell drugs ought to be handled the way they are in Saudi Arabia or Singapore; flaming liberal judges, spaghetti-spined prosecutors, and MSM bleeding hearts have no stomach for it.
If you honestly believe that legalizing drugs would help, fine. Come out and tell the world you want your cocaine and heroin without anyone’s blood on it. But the Hollywood a-holes and the party crowd in Manhattan prefer to cowardly hide in their mansions or co-ops and snort their white girl. Just for once I want one of these wastes of space to miss a payment to their guy in Los Zetas and get his head dumped out on Sunset Blvd..

Okay. The Left LOVES that word, “hypocrite” and flings it around like it was some Leftie version of a garland of garlic against the scary ol’ conservative vampires.
You have a choice of two planes to get on. One is piloted by a guy standing at the hatch smoking his second joint, the other piloted by a guy standing at the hatch smoking his second cigarette. Which plane will YOU chose to fly on?
How about a choice between pilot who is snorting a line of cocaine as you board versus a pilot who just drank a glass of wine? Which plane do YOU choose to fly on?
How about a pilot who has woken up to a hit of meth every morning for the past thirty days versus a pilot who wakes up to a big cup of coffee every morning? Which plane will YOU choose to fly on?
If you say, it won’t matter, everyone KNOWS you’re either LYING or you’re so drug -addled you’ve lost your critical thinking processes. Or you are a selfish drug dealer who wants society to give up against the onslaught and by that stands to make bazillions of evil, blood-soaked profits by the sale of highly addictive, uber-degenerating mind-altering substances that aren’t safe for any useful purpose known to mankind, and don’t care how many poor, indigenous tribal people get blown away or enslaved by the cartels to do it.
If selfish jerks who don’t respect existing laws stop using drugs, then the cartels can’t sell any and their business dries up.

re: [You cannot legislate morality.]
well then, according to your moral judgment it’s perfectly
okay to behead infidels, as that is an Islamists moral duty..
either that, or you’re an idiot, my bet is on the latter..

It is a shame on the men who shake in their boots on not doing their job, that a very brave women rose up to protect what she belive in know what may happen to her. She knew that she was the last source of defence in this drug war, knew that that if she gotten into trouble that she would not be getting any help, because she stood alone, knowing that she would pay with her life and yet she stood tall and proud as a strong Mexican women. This outrage should awaken the anger of this town and they ALL should fight back as this brave women did all by herself.
May G-d be with her.
