Former Mexican Border City Mayor Assassinated After Political Debate.....(video)
Breitbart ^ | 6/9/2018 | Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby

Posted on 06/10/2018 2:50:22 PM PDT by caww

The shooting took place shortly after 9:45 p.m. outside of the Coahuila State University Auditorium when a bearded gunman wearing gray clothing walked up to former mayor Fernando Puron Johnston and shot him once in the back of the head. The gunman then appears to shoot him twice in the chest area before running away.

A surveillance video leaked to Breitbart Texas revealed the moment when the gunman walks behind Puron and fires a handgun.

As of press time, no arrests had been made. Emergency medical personnel rushed Puron to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Puron, a candidate for Mexico’s Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) for a federal congressional seat, had just finished a heated political debate with candidates from other parties. Before becoming a congressional candidate, Puron had served as mayor of Piedras Negras and is credited with promoting economic growth as well as taking a hard line on seedy bars and closing down brothels and cantinas that in the past had been used as fronts by organized crime in the border city.

Dang, anyone who wants to “do the right thing” and drain the Mexican Swamp has my respect. Tough clientele there.

Just a general opinion, the U.S should declare war on the cartels and use any method it can to destroy them. Including bombing their homes and bases without prior approval from the Mexican government.

My guess, just like the Colosio assassination, is that the killers were sent by other PRI politicians, not by people from the opposition parties.

Absolutely heartbreaking when you read about what has happened to Mexico. Most Mexicans are good people. They can’t all come here. They need to fix that poor excuse for a country.

the U.S should declare war on the cartels

That's pretty funny, our own US Government IS THE CARTEL!! We created them, we launder their money, We supply their weapons, We allow their products in, we OWN THEM, and have for quite some time. You can NOT have a War on Drugs without Drugs.

This I agree with, and AG Sessions and President Trump should help out in a big way by sending 20-30 MILLION of Their Citizens Home to clean up the mess.
