Big assassination attempt in Mexico City
American Thinker ^ | 1 Jul, 2020 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

We're busy up here with COVID, another New York Times story based on people familiar with the situation, another day of former V.P. Joe Biden hiding in the basement, and lots of rumors about President Trump dropping out.

Down in Mexico, the situation is not about rumors.

Last week, Mexico City police chief Omar García Harfuch was gunned down near his Lomas de Chapultepec home in Mexico City.

For the record, I'm very familiar with that part of Mexico City. It's upscale and exclusive. How did people with high-powered rifles enter this supposedly secured neighborhood? The assassination attempt happened at an intersection at 6:30 in the morning. Where were these people hiding? It should scare the heck out of every politician, business executive, and mom driving her kids to a private school.

The good news is that Chief García Harfuch survived the bullets. There were other injuries on both sides of the shootout.

Why would we want to control our borders?

This is actually a pretty big development. For the longest time, the Mexican government has said the country is safe except for pockets near the US border. Mexico City is far from that border. Still, Amlo’s approval is 58% as of May 2020.

And the first thing the BLM terrorists did was to erect walls and start killing people.

Yeah, mostly peaceful

AMLO has actually been ok, considering his reputation going in. That’s not saying much, but he’s much better than Vincente Fox, or any of the other recent Mexican Presidents.

CNN blasts their BS around the world. But people outside the US are, like us, smart enough to recognize BS when they see it.

I just had a close friend in Spain send me this link:

I messaged back there’s nothing in the video that is untrue.

Good article and rings true.

I’m also familiar with the area around Chapultepec. The writer describes it very accurately and asks the right questions.

Thanks for posting.
