radical muslims we know do the whole suicide bomber thing.

mexicans would never do that, they care to much about themselves.

BUT i just read on this board on how a bomb was placed infront of the Reynosa police department.......so

the day that bombs start ending up on this side things are going to radically change.


but seriously like before i think the border is going to become a military zone the day stuff starts getting blown up on this side of the river.

i would be more worried about kidnappings than bombs. that whole charlie clark kidnapping/extortion thing probably shook up some of the wealthier residents down here.

Walter, is there any truth to that or is it a normal RGV rumor?? Anything to substantiate it?

beats me. i doubt that it has any truth to it at all. just more valley rumors. the scary part is that it sounds believable.

When did this happen?

Well actually, who what where when and why?

depends on who you hear it from, but i heard the exact same story twice from two unrelated people. charlie clark was supposedly dining across the border at garcia's and at some point after the meal he was kidnapped/taken and told that he had to call family and have delivered so many vehicles otherwise no more charlie clark. no law enforcement was to be involved because the abductors knew the location of the clark residence blah blah blah.... this was supposed to have happened in the past few months but i think that i heard the story the last week of february.

it's b.s., but something like this wouldn't surprise anybody.

here's a sort of related article from a few days ago.

I saw that article. I know that in the RGC area several quasi prominent people have been kidnapped, but all of them were at the fringes of some bad goings on.

I would highly doubt that Charlie Clark got kidnapped. I don't see why either senior or junior would even be in Brownsville/Matamoros anyway.

The Valley, like Mexico, loves rampant salacious rumors. One of the reasons the Zetas are being hunted down is due to the heat that they bring.
