The number of Mexican politicians killed since September continues to rise. Recently, a politician was killed while taking a selfie and another was shot in her home just off the coast of Cancun.
The New York Post reported that a Mexican politician who pledged to defy organized crime was shot dead as he posed for a picture with an admirer, according to reports and video. Congressional candidate Fernando Purón had just finished an election debate in the border city of Piedras Negras on Friday night when a woman holding a selfie stick asked him to take a picture, the Vanguardia reported.
Rosely Danilu Magaña, a municipal councilor candidate for the Isla Mujeres, located just off the coast of Cancun in Mexico passed away on Monday night after suffering from gunshot wounds she received on Saturday during an attack in a campaign event. The candidate for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), was attacked when leading a meeting with other political activists at her house.
Mexico’s Political Violence Indicator released by the Ettelek consultancy confirms that Magaña is the 113th politician or candidate to be killed since September 2017. Political campaigns in Mexico are over on June 27, four days before one of the country’s most important general elections in recent history to take place on July 1. More than 1,000 candidates have dropped out of local races ahead of the July 1 elections because they fear being gunned down.

Hmmm.
Ordinary peeps find it impossible to own a gun for self defense.
Annnnd, corrupt politicians (and their corrupt "law enforcement chums", and their organized crime drug pals) like it that way just fine.
So what?
Maybe Mexican citizens are concerned.....bueller? Bueller? Or Martinez? Martinez?
Shithole country.
One day we need to tell Meh-Hee-Co, fix your problems, or we will fix them for them.
Yet notice how in our media, the Mexican and Central American governments and authorities are never called out for their corruption and chaos.
If Trump is so bad, fascist, and racist — then why do so many immigrants continue to want to come here?
“113 Mexican Politicians Have Been Killed Since September”
One reason we don’t want Mexicans at the controls of our government.
Kamala Harris would like some of that here.
Saying she loves "all the things [Harris] stands for," [Ellen] DeGeneres said she wanted to "vet" the lawmaker with a series of personal questions."If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, [Vice President] Mike Pence, or [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions, who would it be?" DeGeneres asked.
"Does one of us have to come out alive?" Harris replied with a loud laugh.
What a sh¡+-hole country.
No worries.
Just bring in EVERYONE from south of the border to Panama (or Tierra del Fuego) to Norte America.
Then it’s all good, oops, bien, si !
Just imagine if 30 million mexicans went home to make mexico great again??
Here’s a better number for you. Over 3,800 Mexicans have been murdered in May 2018. That’s Mexico’s official number. That was 95 Mexicans killed every day in the Republica de Mexico. What they truly need is more strict gun control laws. That’s it, gun control is all they need to become a civilized world. And you want them in the USA?
I didn’t click on the link but do officials think there might be a common thread?
Mexico’s population is a little more than one third of ours. Just imagine if a proportional number of around 300 politicians had been killed in the US since September. We would have been in a police state by October.
We were a much smaller and weaker country when we cleaned their clocks last time.
Mexico is a failed state, like Somalia.
But hey, they’ve got a kick-ass soccer team.
I hellhole of a country.
But one of them is not AMLO, the crazy leftist Presidential Candidate who is calling for wholesale invasion of the US.
