Drug catapult found on Mexican border

[D Luniz]

I'm surprised they haven't been just destroying large areas of the fence just to be annoying
they have the money and resources to make some decent explosives that could blow holes in the fence

Thats pretty funny lol, simple and effective.

Theyre gonna be laughing at the wall when billions are spent and they just fly bundles of drugs over it with a drone

The wall has never been anything more than a multi-billion emotional blanket for folks, so why not? : D

Automated AA turrets.

Think about it. Line the wall with those, and there won't be no drones. Nor will there be birds! 2 for 1.

If only they had a device that could launch 90kg of drugs over 300m.

Or you know, using the tunnels that are there now. Or the large bodies of water either side of the country.

An Iron Dome for drugs. It's brilliant.

They could build the wall 700 ft high and they'll still find a way over, under or through it. My people are crafty sumbitches

Or as trump said, a ladder and a rope.

Oh! And don't forget those fancy flying machines, they go over walls too, and around 40% of the illegal immigrants in the US used them. Adam Conniver covered it well.

Yeh, I always chuckle at the people who think anything short of legalization will stop the flow of drugs. They have fucking subs for fucks sake. To say nothing of low flying small crafts.

Why didn't I think of this? There's a pretty solid fence along some parts of the border and since people think it's secure, the bad guys set up a catapult on the Mexican side to hurl drugs over the fence.

DOUGLAS, Ariz. -- Border Patrol agents in southern Arizona say they’ve seized two bundles of marijuana that were catapulted across the border from Mexico.

While patrolling an area east of the Douglas Port of Entry last Friday, agents noticed several people running from the border fence as they approached.


They reported finding a catapult system attached to the south side of the fence and two bundles of marijuana, weighing more than 47 pounds combined.

Agents dismantled the catapult, which was seized by Mexican authorities.

Federal authorities say in recent years, smugglers have thrown drug bundles over the border or shot them over with devices such as air-powered cannons and catapults.



The fence separating Douglas AZ from the town of Agua Prieta is pretty substantial.

You know bullet proof vest don't stop all bullets I guess the police and military should stop using them too, and seatbelts don't save everyone guess we don't need them either.

Nope, they were talking about people, not drugs.

There are reasons castles had walls, there are reasons they still had archers at those walls.

There are reasons castles had walls, there are reasons they still had archers at those walls.

There are reasons why walls fell out of favor as a primary defensive structure.

Hint: They're static, and easily defeated once people started understand basic physics.

Pretty much, maby we shouldnt have border controlls either seeing as they dont stop everyone comming through with drugs.

I think it's pretty dishonest to act like a big wall that's suggested is the same as police using bullets and guns. Like seriously...

I was speaking of border controlls.

Except your wall will not stop ANYTHING.

It will not stop some bullets like a bulletproof vest. It will stop ZERO bullets, like a T-shirt.

[PACOX]

and yet people say we don't need a wall.

What is the wall going to do if they are throwing drugs over it and under it? They have subs too.

Maybe we should deal with the drug problem? No wall is going to stop that.

No, they are not catapulting humans. No one lied to you...
