[Travis McGee]

Every new Mexican mayor and police chief gets this question put to him by the mafia: "O plata, o plomo?"

This one didn't choose the silver, so they gave him the lead.

The rapid execution (9 hours!) was meant as an in-your-face warning to Fox: "Screw your army and federales, WE run northern Mexico!"

"O plata, o plomo?"

I like that one, has a nice ring to it. This poor bastard would have been better off becoming police chief in Bagdhad.
