Well they certainly planned the hit. And this is why La Eme are the last kind of organisation you would want to fight a turf war with:- Deputy DA Frank Johnson put it this way: “They really don’t care if they get caught or not. They do virtually outrageous crimes with impunity.You really get the impression from dealing with these people, whether theyare in prison or out, it’s not much consequence to them.”

It's not that surprising La Eme would pull such a maneuver but it isn't just hearsay, it is common knowledge that the Governor Of California was given the green light at some point and the threat was deemed by law enforcement to be credible:-' THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT, BY THE MID-1990S, MEXICAN MAFIA MEMBERS had plotted to kill the governor of California.“To date, the SIU has received several reports indicating that theMexican Mafia prison gang,‘EME,’ may be involved in a plot to assassinateGovernor [Pete] Wilson.” That is an intelligence bulletin from the California Highway Patrol,Special Investigations Unit (which handles security for the governor) thatwas issued September 7, 1995, to numerous law enforcement agencies.

This is old news but I did manage to dig out a reference to the plan. A whole Chapter in Boxer Enriquez's diaries of his time in La Eme is devoted to it. Read it for yourself for more detail:- http://www.scribd.com/doc/78189102/The-Black-Hand

'So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.'
