The violence in Juarez has been in existence for a long time. The last full year I was there the city had almost 2500 unsolved murders. The Mexican Army had declared martial law because the police department is so corrupt, and for a while things were better. But it was literally just the cartels regrouping to come on stronger. Many people will not cross over anymore, and the US Military is absolutely forbidden to go over. A few years back, one of the politicians from Juarez was shot, and rushed to an ER in El Paso, the one where the SG worked as a security guard. The guards at this hospital were pulling 12 hour shifts and SWAT was also guarding the hospital. So although the violence has yet to spill over, the repercussions of it have definitely affected the people living in El Paso.
SG has a polygraph to join the PD in El Paso, and I have to admit, I do worry a little about him. I don't want to see him hurt either, but wonder if the cartels do decide to bring the violence over the EP, what will happen? I still have other friends there that I worry about also. Thank God none of them cross the border.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
