Did You Know...

Allah didn’t think much of this story, or at least of the accusations that the guys who shot up that house (and a suspected pot dealer) in Phoenix dressed as cops in tactical gear were connected with the Mexican military. ICE now says they weren’t.

Okay, but I’ll keep my eyes open; there’s a strong tendency to downplay controversial incidents like this one. (Remember how long it took the Feds to admit that Hesham Hedayet, who shot up the El Al counter at LAX, was a terrorist?)

Whatever the story is, I’d like to get to the bottom of it, because something like it happened again Thursday. Four to ten guys in police uniforms and tactical gear busted into another house in Phoenix. And their choice of targets is interesting:

The residence might have been a drop house used for smuggling illegal immigrants, and it was furnished in such a way that made it difficult to escape from, Tranter said.

The men held two other men inside the house captive for several minutes, stealing money and personal belongings from the home, Tranter said. Police believe the two men held captive inside could have been involved with smuggling illegal immigrants. The men, ages 62 and 34, were not seriously injured, but one was pistol-whipped, he said. Both are suspected of being Mexican nationals here illegally.

More here, with video.

So to review: killers dressed as cops, hitting criminal targets, and ready to take down a few cops who get in their way.

I think I’ve seen that movie:

Not certain whether these crimes are related, but I’d sure like to find out more about what’s going on in Phoenix.

Besides the obvious, I mean.
