Uh-oh......Was that from this operation or a previous incident?

I agree and if I were one of those security guards, I would have took off fleeing too like they did as they had no means to defend themselves against semi-automatic weapons. They absolutely did the right thing and should be commended for the risk they take every day, as anyone can drive right...

If that were the case, I believe the cartel would turn to other things to support their organization so as to continue their survival. Prostitution, vehicle thefts, robbery, human trafficking...

Here is another video uploaded to Youtube shot from the other side of Sandy Beach. It's very short and I can't tell exactly where it was taken, but it does sound as if they were not too far from where everything took place:

A video has been uploaded on Youtube that shows a convoy of military and federal vehicles on what appears to be the highway to/from Sonoyta. It looks as if they are heading north out of Puerto Penasco, is this the convoy that was part of the operation yesterday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiKPji7hUpw

What if the authorities didn't know it was Macho, but all they knew was it was someone very important; They could have thought there was a possibility it was Chapo instead. If that could have been the case, do you feel there would have been more force used this morning if they thought it was...

Having been assigned to an aviation unit in the Army and flown in Blackhawks many times, I can tell you what I heard in the video that was recorded by one of the people in the condo that sure did sound to me like a 50 cal. going off, and the guy even remarked too in the video on youtube the...

I don't know that you can necessarily defend what happened, the way it happened, but reading that it was a federal operation, I am sure they would be less likely to hold back force after thinking through all of the repercussions that could come as a result of the raid. If it were the...

I think it is obvious the Mexican government knew who it was they were targeting in this raid, given the level of force that was used. If these were some low level smugglers instead of Macho, I don't think the government would go after them with helicopter gunships, air support, and in one of...

It looks like the U.S. State Department put out a Security Message to American citizens just recently.

Thanks Jack! If that is indeed correct, this is absolutely insane because the major media organizations are reporting the Sonoyta incident as if it happened today. I am back here in Arizona watching and reading the exact same story.

Roberto, what information have you heard this did not originate in Sonoyta? And everywhere I read on the internet, including some journal based reports on cartel violence does state that El Macho being a high ranking cartel member- Just trying to sort out all the facts from fiction.

I cannot help but think that as soon as that vehicle crossed the border (or maybe slightly before) that U.S. intelligence tipped off Mexican Authorities about the vehicle and who might have been inside. I wonder if we knew who it was inside. If not, by looking at the photograph of the SUV, it...

I did chuckle about the tanks outside of Cholla Bay, but in reality this would not deter me from coming back down for another visit. I think what is important to note is that this all began up at the border in Lukeville and they just ended up in Sandy Beach. So it wasn't like Sandy Beach was...
