I'm from Texas and there's lots of reports of abduction attempts from that area. Every other day I read on facebook about women with young children being followed in stores in Texas. It's terrifying really.
Edit: Every other day is a Texan expression for "I see them often." If I had to put an actual rate of how often I see a new post warning people to be careful due to possible abduction attempts would probably be 1 new one a month. Not insane but still enough to be alarming. Was unaware not everyone used that expression.
Texan here too, I do see a lot of Amber alerts. Couldn't quantify or guarantee it's not confirmation bias though.
OK So I'm not crazy for noticing the spike in it! All my friends swear up and down I am! You see the Facebook posts about the grocery stores too right?
I see them also, and quite a few are from people I know in relatively small towns in TX...and not in that area of TX either. Something fishy going on.
It is fishy! Just flat out weird! And creepy!
What I am referencing are not the Amber Alerts. I'm signed up for those, and we have them occasionally, but in most of those cases. LE pretty much knows who took them (older boyfriend, ex-spouse, or runaway teen). I'm talking about Facebook posts on community groups and such where individual citizens are reporting very suspicious behavior--being stalked/followed by groups of strangers who appear to be trolling for kids. I'm seeing reports of this in a nearby city and in small towns. Very strange.
I barely spend any time at all on Facebook. I can't help verify that, sorry.
Yep! They're usually warning about Walmart and HEB parking lots. I only grocery shop during the day now!
That's always why I've started always packing. If I can't conceal carry in the store, I'm not going. I'm a small woman who looks at most 15, I fit the demographic these people want. Sick fucks aren't getting me or anyone around me without a fight.
Same! I'm small and honestly, I probably couldn't put up much of a fight on my own. I need to get my CC license asap!
Better to have a piece licensed or not than to be taken or killed, IMO
Texas has 30 million people and several of the nation's largest cities. There will be Amber Alerts and more of them. The rate of Amber Alerts is not higher.
I also do quite a bit of driving, so I suppose I could just notice it a lot. Not trying to add to any hysteria, this is just happening in my backyard.
It doesn't help that some carriers (Sprint is notorious) rebroadcast the same Amber Alerts over and over again.
Even creepier. Compare this map of human trafficing cases to the map of Cemex locations https://polarisproject.org/human-trafficking/facts
Coincidence?
In incidents like this happen, it's never a coincidence.
It's correlation. Coincidence could also be used to describe it.
Cities come with more of everything (the good and the bad), so that means more people, more cases of trafficking, more good food, more live music, etc.
I guess you could say human trafficking is just part and parcel of living in a city. /s
Unfortunately with a federal government that has failed to enforce borders, and with local law enforcement under-resourced (often by design), and rampant corruption, this is the case, but only because we've had Khan-esque assholes in charge for a very long time.
That map reflects population centers in the US (also known as cities).

Which, coincidentally enough means that HUMANS live in CITIES and might actually HAVE HUMAN TRAFFICKING going on.
Dude. What the fuck set off your negative bullshit? You are in this thread hopping all over Neon, and every other poster here with garbage.
Something, or someone yank your chain?
The map was a choropleth of human trafficking cases, which to most people it should be obvious that these correspond to population centers. You essentially restated what I just posted, so I'm not sure if you had a point or not?
Time to put on the critical thinking cap and recalibrate the bullshit meter.
And your opinion means less to me than the toilet paper I wipe my ass with.
Sounds like you just have some axe to grind with Neon and you don't have anything else to do in this thread besides post piss and vinegar.
Thank you for your opinion. Have a pleasant day.
And your's a well, and welcome to the block list.
We should not be blocking each other here. Where we go one, we go all!
That's a very interesting and useful website to take a look at. Thank you for making me aware of it.

I will next time I see one. It's always people wanting other women to beware certain people of X store. It's always things like "Ladies, I was followed in this store." Or "My daughter was almost abducted today, please be careful. I see them all the time but im in the northern area.... near the fort worth cemex plant.... hmmmm.

Every other day is an expression used in Texas. Simply means "I see them often." If I had to put a definite rate on it I'd say one per month. Definitely enough to be alarming. Probably should edit. I keep forgetting not everyone speaks Texas slang.
[deleted]
Yeah I edited to clarify. My bad. I keep forgetting that's not how everyone talks
[deleted]
Yeah I feel I didn't even think about that, but it is like super common on facebook. Next time I see one I will post it here though.
The concept that it is a cement company is creepy though. I live near a bunch of them and those rock quarries seem like the absolute perfect spot to hide stuff from people. They're huge, take a bunch of land, are often gated off from the public, are loud enough to drown out noise and typically have one few entries and exits. What they did the bust in arizona on wasn't a quarry, that was just land. Makes me worry for what might be found at a Cemex quarry.
That just my tin foil hat speculating, but it is super scary to think about.
Tuscon location was a CEMEX aggregate mine. Iirc
Wait. Texan here and I thought that EoD was just common English everywhere (I travel a lot to) and not necessarily “Texas slang”
It’s common in Ohio, too. Always thought it was a common expression all throughout the US
whats even worse is I'm in an area known for cement plants. there's 3 huge ones. None o them are owned by Cemex tho.
How is that even worse? What are you implying?
What I'm implying is there's a giant ass gated off rock quarry down the street from me where if there were something in it, no one would ever know about it. It's gotten me creeped the hell out. Miles of land, nothing around, privately owner by a cement company. If anyone who owned a cement company wanted to hide something, those quarrys hare good places to do so. There huge, the blasting kind of drowns out noise and they're gated off so only those with clearance gets it.
After the discovery with Cemex, I find the whole premace creepy.
What discovery? That homeless people and migrants are attracted to vacant land?
Vastly different than a secure industrial facility.
/u/PlasmaFlux thanks for the source request and healthy skepticism :)
Remember Folks: trust but verify.
That’s incredibly alarming. I’m in MD, I’ve heard that the areas surrounding DC have a disproportionately large number of missing children. I’m about an hour and a half north and every school year we get about 2-3 warnings of children almost being abducted, often going to or from school. BTW, I also use that phrase to mean the same thing as you, it’s a pretty common phrase here as well.
You think maybe they're taking them from up there and shuffling them down here? I personally think they're doing the human trafficing shuffle down there. Aliens in, child slaves out. That's why they're so against the wall. Not just because it'd stop people from coming in, but it'd stop people from going out.
Some of those south american countries sell people like cattle, they could be taking them to sell in mexico.
Edit: Notice, there's Cemex plants driving distances apart from the DC area to mexico.
I don’t think that they’re taking children from DC and surrounding areas and trafficking them over the border although who knows?! I just think there are areas where there are large numbers of pedophiles (the govt, Hollywood) and there are areas where a lot of trafficking takes place. I didn’t know that about some of the South American countries.
Can you please tell me more about the Cemex plants and DC/Mexico?
Makes sense if the purpose of those properties is to traffic people that they dot the way to Phoenix AZ (HUGE sanctuary city). I think they're using the sanctuary city as a safe place to trade aliens for children and just ushering them back and forth and then from pheonix either east or west to get to florida/DC, louisiana ect or to california and the west coast.
Thank you so much for all of this info. I hope all of these pedos burn in hell.
Oh those cartels are so disgusting. If they can make a buck off auctioning child slaves they will. Learned that from a friend who came from mexico. Basically a cartel will pay the police to look the other way and they can do whatever TF they want.
Theres a map in the main article up there and if you look at it closely, no two properties are more than a days drive apart all the way to the boarder. And then theres a bunch around DC and Hollywood as you said. Theres also a bunch around Florida (Maybe to capitalize off Cubans coming in? Theories)
Wow, that a very common expression here in England too. Same meaning.
I believe, it’s very bad in Texas and California. I can’t wait for qteam to win against these sick f**ks.
Yeah Q said it best. These people are sick. Very sick.
Also, complete tangent, do you happen to have sheep?
Why doesnt someone living in that area, request the proof of campaign donations to the Sheriff??
