Nogales Orders Feds To Remove Razor Wire

Nogales Orders Federal Officials To Remove Hideous, ‘Inhuman’ Razor Wire On Border

Razor wire coils in downtown Nogales, Arizona.

2/8/19
The City Council of Nogales, Arizona, has voted unanimously on a resolution ordering Trump administration officials to rip out new “lethal” razor wire coiled on a border fence along the downtown shopping district. Such wire is “only found in a war, prison or battle setting” and is highly inappropriate for an urban area, states the resolution the council passed Wednesday. The bristling concertina wire is now attached to the fence from top to bottom. “Placing coiled concertina wire that is designed to inflict serious bodily injury or death in the immediate proximity of our residents, children, pets, law enforcement and first responders is not only irresponsible but inhuman,” the resolution states. The resolution demands that officials remove all concertina wire within city limits. it also states that no military force or the “use of military-type tactics designed to inflict indiscriminate harm” should be allowed in Nogales without an express declaration of war by Congress — or a national emergency. “I don’t know why Nogales is being used as their concertina poster city,” Mayor Arturo Garino said at the City Council meeting, reported Nogales International. “This is not right.”

He said he fears the day that “our first responders have to go to the wire because somebody fell in there and they need to extricate that person.” School buses travel along the fence, and children play where the concertina wire is exposed. “They didn’t ask us, did they?” resident Sherri Dickson asked the council before the vote, according to the Tucson Sentinel. “They’re turning our town into a military base. It’s like the front-lines of some kind of war-zone.” Officials also see the coils as an unnecessary blight that will hurt tourism and shopping in the town of 20,000, which relies solely on sales tax for its income. The concertina wire is also a constant, depressing sight for Nogales residents. “It looks just like the Berlin wall; it’s terrible,” Nogales visitor Karen Martin told the Sentinel as she shopped downtown. If federal officials refuse to comply, Garino said the city is prepared to go to court.

Damn! What if a child got entangled in the razor wire coils or an elderly person fell into it?

What in Hell was DHS and the US military thinking here? What is the matter with these phreaking idiots?

It's not razor wire, it's concertina, and it's not lethal. I've put up plenty of it over the years and it's job is it impair movement, not kill. The outside of the wire is not sharp. None of it is really sharp at all except for two little barbs on the end of each bit that sticks out.

More fake news.

I am not aware that the city has the authority to give such an order.

We are a nation of law.

Duh. I know what it is. I've also worked with it plenty of times. It belongs nowhere near a town's business and school district.

Not fake news. Many links are available.

It's just news you don't agree with. Exactly like Trumps notion of what news should be.

I have heard absolutely everything now.

Trumpets are an amazing species who live in their very own private Idaho.

Mind blowing post. Absolutely mind blowing.

Have you been to Nogales? Doubt it!!!!!!!

I have done about 35-40 trips dropping loads at the Schneider drop yard in Nogales, and have spent many days & nights there back when I was a Owner Operator leased out to Schneider.

I have watched them come across and head for the back areas of the local truck stops.

I have also seen them being hoarded into van and small buses.

I have also seen them harassing locals, local businesses, and the Nogales police.

Hey ... Trump needs props for his manufactured crisis. You can't ask him to care about the children who have to grow up there.

LOL... I seriously doubt that the children of Nogales hang out on top of border walls. :lamo

Got any more entertaining responses?

No you didn't, because you said "razor wire". That's something entirely different.

Many links available that are wrong. Meaning....what?....oh yeah, fake news. It's not razor wire and it's not lethal.

Gee, maybe a wall isn't such a bad idea?

WTF are you talking about? Everything I wrote is 100% fact. I don't know what having a "private Idaho" even means or how that relates to this fake news reporting but...here we are.

 

[Rogue Valley]

Have you been to Nogales? Doubt it!!!!!!!

I've traveled between Nogales, Texas and Nogales, Mexico over a dozen times. Same with El Paso and Ciudad/Juarez, Mexico.

Geezus. You think you're the only one that travels the border? Think again.

None of that wire belongs as low as the Army strung it.

The only way that would happen is if someone illegally tried entering the US by climbing over the fence. I can't help but think your comment is akin to someone saying what if some elderly person or child wandered into a factory yard at night and was mauled by the guard dogs.

Just like Fat Boy, everything you don't like is fake news.

Too bad so sad. Lump it.

Umm..they don't. Welcome to California Democrats in Arizona. Santa Cruz County voted 56%+ to 41% DEMCORAT in 2018...which explains the bull****.

The OP says children play there. They may never be physically injured by it. There are other kinds of injury that just physcal. Be raised with that as your view every day?

Yes, inhuman. But of course Trump fanboys see nothing wrong with it. Gotta defend Trump's manufactured crisis. Can't let an ounce of humanity infect you.

You got called out for a **** post, without knowing what you were talking about. Get over it. Btw...how much concertina wire have you put up?

 

[Grokmaster]

Concertina wire and razor wire are NOT the same thing.

So HuffPost is found either ignorant or lying....What a shock!

A resolution? LOL!!

Okay.

btw, I've never been to that border, but in the picture I see what looks like warning signs. I suggest residents keep themselves, their children, their elderly and pets out of an area they aren't supposed to be in. Law enforcement and first responders should be trained on how to avoid injury if the city thinks they might need to get near the stuff.

Oh...and y'all should watch the video on that HuffPo page. That stuff is razor wire...not barbed wire.

Santa Cruz County is a DEMOCRAT STRONGHOLD, so, naturally, ZERO COMMON SENSE, and NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN IDIOCY.

It's the "WIRE'S FAULT"...not their DUMBASSED KIDS, raised by DUMBASSED PARENTS...

Playing in the vicinity is enough for a writer with bias to suck in people like you. I never once saw a child on the walls.

Humanity? Don't even go there until you can honestly offer information on what mules to to border jumpers.

When you finally, if ever, get over your blaming Trump fetish, take a trip to Nogales and hang out on the border streets.................... and stay there until way after dark.

Until then, just keep doing what ever it is that you do....it is fairly entertaining.
