Rifle found at El Chapo hideout tied to Fast and Furious

WASHINGTON — One of the guns that Mexican officials say was found at the hideout of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera has been found to be associated with Fast and Furious, a failed “gun-walking” operation, according to the Justice Department.

The department said in a letter to members of Congress that a .50-caliber rifle that Mexican officials sent for tracing after Guzman’s arrest in January has been connected to Fast and Furious.

Officials say the weapon was one of 19 firearms that Mexican authorities said were recovered from the hideout and was the only one determined to be associated with the botched sting operation, in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed gun runners to buy weapons in hopes of tracking them and disrupting gun smuggling rungs.

The rifle was bought in July 2010 in a straw purchase by someone not known to ATF at the time. The buyer was later identified and came under investigation but was never indicted. The weapon is not known to be associated with any other crime, the Justice Department says.

And i mean they skinned the man comptely from head to toe, entire body.

I cant belive the amount of time it must have taken to skin a person completely, cut a hole in his chest rip his heart out and put a cigarette in the mouth of the corpse and put it in a pose

I once read that back in the dark ages beheading was considered a mercy killing because its far less painful then disembowelment which was very common

Our so-called leaders don’t know how lucky they are that
most Americans are either ignorant of or apathetic to their crimes.

I'd file that in the apathetic category. Hillary seems to be putting it in the ignorance category.

I just viewed 4 hours of zetas and gulf cartel execution videos.

Those people are savages.

Anybody viewing them will automatically vote Trump.
