OT, but here’s something interesting:

U.S. plans for Mexico border violence

From the article:

Rufe said while the violence along the border in Mexico is appalling, violent crimes have not increased in U.S. border cities as a result. He said kidnappings are up, but violent crime is down.

“We’re not so concerned, at least at this point, about that violence spilling over into our cities,” he said.

Roger Rufe is a top Homeland Security official.

One question, Mr. Rufe - you don’t consider kidnappings a potentially violent crime? Please get your head out of your ass.

Thank you.
