Today in the union tribune I read that Two men accused of plotting to kill Barack Obama and other African-Americans have been indicted on charges including making threats against a presidential candidate. A federal grand jury in Tennessee indicted Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman on the threat charges and with illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a federally licensed gun dealer. They planned to cap the killing spree by charging at Obama with a car, firing from the windows as they went, dressed in white tuxedoes and top hats. The two were arrested last month. According to an affidavit from a federal agent who questioned them, they backed out of an October 21 attempt to rob a gun dealer after spotting two cars and a dog. They shot out the window of a church on their way back to Cowart's grandfather's home in Tennessee, where they were arrested the next day. Federal law enforcement sources said there was no evidence that Cowart and Schlesselman had any details of Obama's schedule. The two are being held without opportunity for bail.

The article I read this morning was about the raging violence that is going on in Tijuana, Mexico. Yesterday, Wednesday 14 more people were killed in Tijuana. The Tijuana police were on a high alert because they kept getting calls about bodies that were being found. Two men from the fourteen that were found yesterday had there heads cut off with a hand writing message. There bodies were inside bags with there heads on top as a lid. The message read “this is what will happen to the people that hang out with the filthy Arellano Felix. It was signed by La Maña. La Maña is a term for the mafia.
Tijuana is a big mess! I don’t understand why the drug cartels are also killing so many innocent people. I hope that all this violence ends soon because it is really affecting Mexico and San Diego.
An interesting fact that I read was that in the fourteen slain from yesterday two of the them were cops.

In today's paper I have read that the chargers are still wanting a new stadium to be built in the Chula vista area. The chargers must be crazy. Just looking at the economy how can they afford a new stadium? Well they are still looking at the details. In the year of 2003 the chargers had estimated the amount for the new stadium and they said it would be around $450,000,000 million dollars. But now to this day it would be around $900,000,000 million dollars. Also in other news police hade found 36 pounds of marijuana stuffed in a surfboard north of the u.s.-mexico border at border field state park. The street value of it was $29,360.

What I read today in the Union Tribune is about U.S border patrol agents found 36 pounds of marijuana stuffed inside an abandoned blue fiberglass surfboard north of the U.S-Mexico border at Boarder Field State Park. The marijuana had an estimate value of $29,360.Agents spotted the board while following the foot traffic along the beach. No one was arrested but it was going to get picked up but probably they were waiting. I think that people are smart for trying to make their money but is Dum living a board with 36 pounds of weed near the boarder. Specially if you don’t take it and live they just lost $29,360 the fact is they be crossing illegal drugs to U.S or anywhere else.

Today in the union tribune I read about a man in a ski mask on a motorcycle who shuts down the freeway. The ISSUE was that He waved a flag U.S. flag and a handgun on the freeway overpass for about four hours yesterday morning , forcing a massive traffic shut down before he surrendered. Police said after dropping his weapon , Van tassel asked for a Barack Obama campaign sign, which authorities delivered to him using a bomb squared robot the Police had SUMMERIZE that the man attached the sign and the flag to overpass and walked backwards to officers who took him into custody. Luckily there was absolutely no shots fired what so ever. Police were continuing to investigate a duffel bag and the man’s car at the scene but they have no credible threats or EVIDENCE of any threats of explosives.
