Just wanted to make sure this didn't get lost in the fray. I'm just hoping on and not seeing it on the recommended list or the recent's list, I'm going to assume it hasn't been covered.
I guess thought that since they're just illegal immigrants and not Quran-carrying, beheading, suicide bombing Islamofascists, somehow there's a vastly large difference here that ultimately means we should just overlook this?
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Gunmen stopped a pickup truck full of illegal immigrants, shot several and took the rest captive Thursday in an attack that left at least three men dead and two people wounded, authorities said.
Although authorities have not determined who the gunmen were, investigators believe the immigrants were Guatemalan.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators also believe the driver, who probably was the smuggler, and a guide escaped.

The incident occurred on the Ironwood Forest National Monument, and "the method of operation was similar" to a robbery Wednesday night more than 70 miles south, near the border at Sasabe, said Rick Kastigar, the Pima County sheriff's criminal investigations chief.
In that incident, four Spanish-speaking men carrying AK-47 assault weapons and dressed in dark clothing and ski masks confronted and robbed 18 immigrants, Kastigar said. No one was reported injured in Wednesday night's robbery, he added.

Thursday morning's attack occurred on a dirt road near the Silver Bell Mine, about 20 miles northwest of Tucson, Kastigar said.
Kastigar said the immigrants were heading north when four men armed with assault rifles in another vehicle forced the truck to stop. During the confrontation, one man was killed, another was shot in the hand -- losing several fingers -- and a woman was shot in the chest and also sustained a neck injury, Kastigar said.
Mmmmmm-mmmm. You smell that? That's called freedom. Take it in, boys and savor it since now we're defending it here.
