Across the border from McAllen, Texas, a war has been raging in affluent Mexican neighborhoods, main streets and shopping areas as cartels openly fire rocket-propelled grenade launchers and assault rifles at law enforcement authorities.

The gunmen fired a variety of military-grade weapons, including grenades, a 60 mm mortar and assorted small-arms ammunition.

Protesting the military presence which was there to protect them from the bad guys? Geez... some Mexicans are just as brainwashed as most "Palestinians"...While the street war raged, hundreds of Mexicans, some with small children, blocked roads and international bridges for hours in Reynosa, Ciudad Juarez and Nuevo Laredo. They were protesting Mexican President Felipe Calderon's army-backed drug war.
Authorities claim there is no correlation between the demonstrations and the gang violence. However, according to the Dallas Morning News, the drug cartels have been paying unarmed citizens to protest military presence.
