Something doesn't smell right. With all the money and resources and people the cartel controls, they have to resort to sending texts to random cell numbers? How exactly would the recipient be paid? And why would the cartel pay some street thug a million bucks when they could just put a bullet in his head? Seems to me that if the cartel wanted a hit on the sheriff that they would send the word more underground or handle it in house. This sounds more like the tactic of a nobody group of persons just trying to intimidate the sheriff and others.
Very observant (in my opinion), Reefhound.
Arpaio is a vulgar thug who reminds me of those powerful and intimidating kluxer sheriffs and police chiefs that I grew up with in the then racially segregated Alabama of the 1950s and first part of the 60s. I look at this brute on television and, except for the high definition, I see Sheriff Jim Clark of Dallas County (Selma) and Police Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor of Birmingham among other racist thugs of those days who did the dirty work for the "Big Mules" (powerful Birmingham industrialists) who could then devote their time off for golf at the prestigious Mountain Brook Country Club while guys like Connor bashed heads downtown.
Arpaio is not a new player in Maricopa County and he has been around for years. He has been famous for years for dressing up his county prison inmates in pink underwear and prison stripes and feeding them endless meals of bologna sandwiches and the powers-that-be in Phoenix, like the big steel executives in Birmingham in the 60s, always laughed at street toughs like Arpaio and Connor and ordered another double martini with the caviar at the 19th Hole, while those buffoons in the sheriff´s department brought out the bologna and fire hoses and then, when it began to reflect on their respective towns and hurting business, the amusement among those executives began to wear thin.
Now, as obnoxious as Arpaio is,he is a minor player in a crime-ridden county far from the U.S. Mexican border and the notion that, (1) the cartels would consider him important enough to assassinate and, (2) would, even if they wanted to have him bumped off, resort to some cheesy text message subject to public scrutiny sent out to offer a $1,000,000 reward to assorted gutter dwelling ne´re-do-wells to accomplish something they could easily accomplish themselves in house, is absurd on its surface. It seems to me that this alleged text message reported by this obscure blog is a set up to scare Arizonans and stir them up to turn against ordinary immigrants, whether legal or illegal, arriving in Arizona simply to work for slave wages cleaning Walmart toilets the same way kluxers used to plant stories about "rampaging blacks" under the control of Martin Luther King out to attack white women back in the old deep south now gone with the wind (thank God). Dawg grew up observing these tactics commonly used by the kluxers and this phony text message is one of the oldest tricks in the books except, of course, that the klan had to use more primitive methods to spread the lies.
I wouldn´t worry about Arpaio who, like Sheriff Clark and "Bull" Connor, will die of old age. Worry more about the mindset in Arizona that threatens the relationship between the home country of many of us and our adopted country. I speak with Mexican friends and my own domestic employees and this hostility in Arizona is not lost upon them and, if anything, this attitude has the potential to poison your well and mine.
