Authorities believe smuggled heroin may be tied to Sinaloa cartel.....

      I came across this article which was buried in the Senior Citizen section of the local newspaper. I would imagine that is what is doen when you are forced to report something and obviously do not want to.

      "The FBI and several other federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 34 people Monday February 26, 2007 in North Texas on charges of trafficking drugs, including heroin that authorities believe originated with the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico.
      The Sinaloa cartel is a chief rival of the Gulf cartel - both are warring for control of north-south drug smuggling routes."
     Well now, that certainly is a comforting thought. Am I to expect major shoot-outs on our Interstate's now? Does this imply that it will no longer be safe to travel on our main roads because they are going to be taken over by unruly gangs? I am compelled to ask who is entitled to our roads? Why are they fighting and killing each other over roads that do not even belong to them?
      The article continues...... "The investigation, conducted by the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of Texas, which includes Collin County, began more than a year ago after authorities say as many as seven North Texans died from heroin overdoses and more than two dozen others had near fatal experiences with the drug."
      It has also been brought to my attention that lately a new form of heroin is being passed around. I believe they are calling it "cheese" because it is being mixed and can be eaten. I might be off on this one because I do not have all the details, but it is something new that is being passed around to the children in, at or near the usual places. (school, playgrounds, parks)
     Don't we have enough to be concerened with these days? Now we have to worry about one cartel shooting it out with another cartel and on our roads? These are the same roads we all use to drive to and from work, right?
     For that matter, I have seen many school buses traveling on these roads full of children on their way to or from an activity. Again, with all that is going on lately do we really need to have to deal with this too?
     I was under the impression we were supposed to be looking for ways to make life easier and safer, what happened? Why are so many things going wrong in such a short period of time? Or have things been spiraling downward and it just went unnoticed?
     "Arrests were made in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Allen, Caddo Mills, The Colony and McKinney.
      Authorities also seized heroin and cocaine, $35,000.00 in cash, twenty vehicles and guns. They also seized a furniture store on Ferguson Road in Dallas and two ice cream shops on Harry Hines Boulevard and Webb Chapel Extension, as well as homes on Gross Road and St. Francis Avenue in Dallas and property in Carrollton, Irving, Caddo Mills and Commerce."
     Where are we going wrong?
