Could be the Mexican Cartel.
Busted one of them here yesterday.
It seems these, or the nasty Mexican food places like Rodeo Jalisco #79 are on every other corner now.
Glad to see them hitting these places. These are the "Bad Hombre's" Trump was talking about...
https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/ne...vestigation-yields-raids-at-four-locati/Authorities led by the Victoria County Sheriff's Office simultaneously raided four locations in Victoria on Friday afternoon as part of an ongoing investigation into a criminal organization suspected of dealing in illegal drugs.
"In the 23 years that I have been a peace officer in Victoria, this is the largest single operation that I've ever witnessed," said Chief Deputy Roy Boyd, Victoria County Sheriff's Office, standing outside one of the businesses raided.
At all four locations, a total of 10 people were arrested, some whom are claimed to be "high up" in criminal organizations, a sheriff's official said. Four pounds of cocaine also were discovered in the raids.
The sheriff's office did not to release the identities of those arrested.
No one was injured or killed in those raids, he said.
About 60 peace officers from the Victoria County Sheriff's Office, Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General's Office, Calhoun County Sheriff's Office and Bay City Police Department participated in the raids, Boyd said. The investigation leading to the raids was led by the Victoria County Sheriff's Office's Special Operations Unit.
Sheriff T. Michael O'Connor declined to release details of the investigation, such as its length.
Law enforcement officers swarmed onto two locations of One Stop Tire Shop at 3509 Houston Highway and 1301 N. Laurent St. about 2 p.m. as heavy traffic sped by. Simultaneously, Boyd said, peace officers raided two residences at 3001 Circle Street and 407 W. Convent St.
The sheriff's office investigation centered on what officials described as an international criminal organization with links to Mexican cartels. That organization has a history of dealing in cocaine, Boyd said.
Making America Great Again!
Be interesting to see the financial reports of said "tire shops",probably sell a few tires,and move millions $
Damn, More winning!
Still not sick of it yet........
Just doing jobs Americans don't want.
Just doing jobs Americans don't want.
Yep.
I sure don't want to do what they do...
Killing, beheading, sex trafficking, drug dealing, ect.
The feds have known for years where they were. Only now they are being allowed to do their jobs and take out the trash.
I didn't know VIctoria was that deep in it. Go through there quite often. A shame it is. Victoria used to be a smaller town and not bad as far as cities go.

It got really bad in the later Obama years.
There's outlying areas that have turned into nothing but Mexican ghettos. Bloomington, Port Lavaca, Goliad, Yoakum... They've all been pretty much taken over by the wetbacks.
They are the only place to get a tire patched, if you don't want to do it yourself.

I carry a plug kit and air compressor wherever I go.
If I can't fix it, it needs to replaced.
There's one right by my house and I asked the guy how much to mount and balance a tire and he said $25 which is more than the big chain stores charge so then I wondered how he was staying in business since he rarely had any customers. I think you just told me!

No doubt!
And those nasty Mexican food places that don't seem to have any business either, but never close down. And employ 15 people... per location.
Not surprising, they're getting into everything to help launder drug money. The cartel bought a
horse racing ranch/outfit in S. OK, feds busted them a few years back..
none of it is any surprise to me at all.
it's been going on for years here. the Dallas
police had to shoot one about 4 houses down
from here yesterday.
if i talk of it, someone invariably asks " well why
don't you report it ?" i've tried many a time, but
i get tired of being called a racist and a malcontent
ranting white supremist and all the other names they
use when i refer to the border jumper problem.
it's a very real problem, and easy to see.
you just have to want to see it.
Llantera ?? Gradually, the huge corruptive mess enabled by the previous three or four Presidents will be unfolded and exposed - I hope.
I don't know what the big deal with a little cocaine is. It ain't as bad as heroine or meth (since relativism seems to be an effective strategy for legalizing other bad stuff.)
Messican drug smugglers & tire shops go hand in hand. They fill the tires with dope, mount them & air them up. When they get where they're going they take the tires off & remove the dope then fill them back up with money. A friend of mine that's a Mississippi highway patrol busted a couple of mules with $6 million in dope money when his dog alerted on the tires of an old pickup two Mexicans were hauling on a trailer. There was still coke residue on the tire & the dog picked it up. If you see Mexicans with a vehicle on a trailer chances are the tires are filled with dope if he's going away from Texas & money if he's headed toward Texas.
After getting a new set of tires you can head over for some lunch.

The thing with "Mex" tire shops is that they will actually fix tires. Went to local Goodyear with a large nail puncture on a tire off my son's car. Tread was thin but not to bad and couldn't afford new tires right then. Goodyear said "we won't fix it not enough tread left" Mex shop "sure can fix" - patched work fine for another month until he could afford new set of tires.
This is a very good video.I first saw it a few years back,but this man explains how the cartels work within cities across the U.S.A. It will really open your eyes and worth the watch.

The tire shop here was putting cocaine inside the tires and they would deliver it throughout the U.S. in their network.
4 lbs of blow? Big deal. Way more than that washes up on the beach here every year. What state was this in?

I had a set of half worn tires when one caught a nail in the shoulder, just beyond where "legitimate" tire shops would agree to fix it. I took it to a "Mex" tire shop in South Omaha where they fixed it and the patch held for the last 20K miles life of those tires.

If they were smart they didn't come up I10... Lobos has recieved national acclaim for his nose....
Local eatery here, has to be laundering money, there is no way they make it, and they've bought 2 other places... math just can't add up..
And folks think things are innocent....

This was an ongoing investigation into the network. 4 lbs. was what was left at the facility when they raided it. They hit 3 other locations too.
I did attach the article for your reading pleasure here....

Plugs and an air compressor get you back to the house. That doesn't mean the tire is ruined or that you want to use it with a plug in it. National tire stores would rather sell a new tire than patch one. I'll pay your "wet back" tire store $5 per patch rather than patch it myself. I might buy some chile verde and cocaine while I'm there. (That last part is "un chiste").
I'd bet as many of the guys running these shops are good, hard working Catholics as are drug dealers. The Catholics just have more common sense than Discount Tire

They might Catholic, or might not.
The thing is, down here, they are mostly wetbacks. And evidently some are drug cartel/drug dealers.
They need to go home.

Youre blessed, Barry. I used the term "wetback" on here a couple of years ago and had the PC crew all over my ass.
That's what they are. I grew up calling them that. Nothing "bad" about it. They call themselves mojados. Which is wetback...
To hell with PC. Call things what they are.
And the reality of it all is that the people who will be posting their bond, paying for legal counsel or cutting their family into little pieces, has a warehouse near every populated area of America.
...and they own many, many Politicians at every level. They own Fortune 500 Companies. Tire shops are what the neighbor kid's lemonade stand's are to Walmart.
Yeah, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman didn't get to be worth $14 billion by doing the drug running himself.
The rest are expendable. All of them. (To the big boys)

Because it was you and not Barry.
We had a group of Spanish speakers open four resturants in this area several years ago. They were very polite, service was good and the food did not suck. I had to wonder however, where the heck the $$$$came from, one resturant was a good sized freestanding building they built on a miracle mile strip, the others were nice rentals. I have often floated the idea of a resturant, but the numbers do not look very good for a startup if you do not have a pocket full of cash, or need to make a living off it immediately. These guys did finally pull stakes, from all the resturants, but are now 60 miles away doing the same thing.
Was watching that movie Sicario the other night.
The CIA guy was explaining that finding a certain drug kingpin and putting him under would be like finding a vaccine with all the lives it would save.
Problem is, there's another waiting to take his place. Or WANTING to take his place.
When a drug kingpin goes down, the cartel wars to take over that position are bloody as hell. Thousands die.

And he is a nobody in the scheme of things. People gotta remember, numerous Government agencies justify their existence by catching "Mr.Big" every couple of years. Terrorism is not an exception.
Money floats.
All the way to the top.

Same here. Growing up on ranches where there were often a few working, we hated to see the Border Patrol coming.
But, back then they would steal nothing and were good help. Up until thirty years ago I would often pick them up and help them along down in the Pandale and lower Pecos River country. They had family back home they couldnt help if they got in trouble up here. Everyone called them wets. Thats what they were.
I also call it pretty much as i see it. I wonder how long until quueer will be the new N word. Some here already think the suckers are happy, uh, i mean gay.
Its unreal how many new mansions there are now in Presidio. No businesses to speak of since the flood filled the fields with river rock and the farms are gone.
many moons ago there was a brake line manufacturing factory in Des Plaines IL, they received parts from Mexico
there may have also been large quantities of cocaine in that neighborhood.

That's my take as well.
I can get a flat fixed in ten minutes for five bucks, a whole set of new tires for about $100 less that the big chains in twenty or thirty minutes minutes, or a good used tire with lots of life left for $30 per.
It is my understanding that Americans snort about 400 tons, or 800,000 pounds, of Mexican cocaine a year, a large fraction of which comes up Interstate 35 from Laredo/Nuevo Laredo. All the tire shops I know of around here (and there's a bunch) are busy all day with floor jacks out front, changing tires. Elsewhere MMV.

To get back to the issue at hand, llantas, if you buy a new set at Discount Tires and they offer your insurance, buy it. For one tire of the set. They don't mark down which one is insured and so far, as luck would have it, it's always the insured one that gets ruined.
Those tire places are everywhere here it seems. They sell you a tire they didn't pay Schmidt for at $30 to $50 a pop. Good markup!

I think you'd better double check that.
Tires do indeed have a serial number on them, and they have a record of the numbers they put on your vehicle. I can't imagine why they would issue a road hazard warranty and not record that number as well.

People have a hard time realizing that just because someone is Hispanic, doesn't necessarily mean they are poor, stupid, uneducated, incompetent or lazy. There's plenty of smart, hard working, financially savvy, progressive people with family roots in Mexico. I have a lot of Hispanic customers, and a fair share of them are hard working, money making hombres. There's money there, and they (mostly) save up and pay cash for what they buy.
It's money laundering too.There is a place right down the street from me.Portable building for an office,single stall carport for a shop.Big sign on the building says "New and Used Tires Cash Only".Rarely see anyone there,but the 1\2 acre lot keeps filling up with stacks and stacks of used tires.I don't think any tires get hauled away,just old used tires keep being hauled in.Great way to launder cash money.

Yessir. Money laundering is a big part of that.
Daniel Martinez III, 35, of Richmond, was arrested Friday afternoon on suspicion of manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance more than 400 grams, engaging in organized criminal activity and money laundering between $2,500 and $30,000, according to jail records.
As of 5:15 p.m. Saturday, he remained in the Victoria County Jail on bonds totaling $210,000.
Daniel Martinez was listed as the owner of both One Stop Tire Shops at 1301 N. Laurent St. and 3509 Houston Highway. No one answered the door at either location Saturday afternoon.

Dern Jagwire, you've only been on here Since January of 2016?
So how could you have used the term "wetback" a couple of years ago?
Unless you were deported, and sneaked back in under a different name?
There's a word for that, I can't quite remember what it is right now.

I used the term on line once (not here) and got the same blowback.. My eldest brother married a Texas gal named Rohilio (spelling might not be right), and I have 5 lightly tanned nephews and nieces. 4 good ones out of 5 ain't so bad....
Thing is, her family was in Texas when it was Mexico, and she is better than he (now deceased) deserved...
.
I've had two black sister-in-laws (second eldest brother, also deceased). Both coke-heads - he never did learn. 4 wives, different shapes and colors, but essentially all the same woman.
And I have a Philippino SIL of a younger brother, better than he deserves.
Too bad one can't divorce the siblings and keep the in-laws sometimes.
There are terms one can use in one's head for family and others that are best not put out in public.... ever.
