It might be true, in fact, that war is already decided and Mexican defeat is only matter of time. It might be true, undoubtedly, that Mexicans can do little or nothing to stop Alta California from becoming part of the United States. It seems that the deepest causes in New Spain northern history, West Pacific history and international capitalism history decided long ago that California and New Mexico must have a new master. It might be true, at the end, that nothing or nobody will have power enough to drive Americans from California shores. The shots fired by Mexicans just hurt, harm and kill.
Nobody knows for sure what's going on.
The only certain thing is that U.S. soldiers in Los Angeles are being shot. Friday, September 24th. Los Angeles, California. He bears a Mexican name. The mystery surrounding the sniper's fire in Los Angeles has vanished.
