MORELIA, Mexico – A peace march called by local authorities in western Mexico turned into a show of support for a slain drug lord Sunday, with adults and children carrying signs lauding the capo known for handing out Bibles to the poor.
Hundreds of people turned out for the march in Apatzingan, the birth place of La Familia cartel leader Nazario Moreno, who was known as "The Craziest One" and reputedly indoctrinated his gang members in pseudo-Christian ideology.
The government says Moreno was killed in Apatzingan on Thursday in a shootout with federal police. The hunt for Moreno and other La Familia leaders set off two days of battles in key parts of Michoacan state, with cartel gunmen using torched cars and buses to blockade highways. At least 11 other people were killed, including a baby and a teenage girl.

Yup. Mexico needs an exorcism.
Of course. The poor are amoral. They support whoever spreads a few dollars cash money around — including drug dealers and the DemocratXX Party.
Mexico will NEVER change. Same as it was 100 years ago when the common bandit, Pancho Villa, masqueraded as a “revolutionary”. The “people” thought he was a freedom fighter but he was really just a dirt head who wanted to be dictator.
He got what these narcos need. Lead poisoning.
“lauding the capo known for handing out Bibles to the poor.”
Capone used baseball tickets.
Remind me of the scene in "My Fair Lady" where Eliza Doolittle's father is trying to negotiate a price for her with Professsor Higgins.
Higgins asks: "Have you no morals?"
"No sir" he says "Can't afford them"
And very few American leaders could hold a candle to Benito Juarez.
I challenge anyone to research these two very fascinating leaders.

Morality is often situational, a belief in God often being the only thing that would make it transcendent. The dark humor of the situation, which is worthy of the devil himself, is in him handing out Bibles.
Yep! From those that brought us sanctuary cities and amnesty, anchor babies and now a tequila party. Horse , barn, gate. They are here and are organized and funded.
“but he was really just a dirt head who wanted to be dictator”
That must be why after the fighting, he always turned over the reigns to politicians and went home. Not to mention, that with the huge swaths of the country he controlled, he acrued no personal wealth at all.
Pancho was a far better man that any of these narcos. You should read about the revolution a LOT more. There were plenty of guys who fit your description,, but Zapata and Pancho were in the right.
Obregon, Carraza, Maduro, the Mexican Church, European monarchs, and Hearst were the bad guys in Mexico back then.
For a tour de force on the topic, read “Wilsons War”. Woodrow Wilson supported every Mexican despot he could find. We pay for his folly to this day.
You nailed it. Benito Juarez was a hero to any sane human. Pancho and Zapata were both on the good side. And Pancho was naive. he always realized he was a fighting man and did not have the skill to run a nation, so he didn’t even try.
And everyone crows about the raid on Columbus NM. They conveniently forget that Wilson begged it to happen. Before this. Pancho had the government forces cornered in Agua Prieta (across from Douglas Arizona). Wilson let the MEXICAN ARMY march across near Eagle Pass Texas. They loaded onto trains, and crossed Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. They got off the train in Douglas Arizona USA, and marched right down main street. They crossed back into Mexico, into the government perimeter. The reinforcements caused Pancho to have to abandon the seige.
When reinforcments and supplies cross the border southbound in broad daylight, in formation,, don’t be too amazed when the favor gets returned.
The Border circa 1900-1920 is a truly fascinating story.
“Actually everything I’ve ready about Pancho Villa suggests that he was a great leader”
_______________________________________________________________________
Well... Before he became a “great leader”, he initiated and led a little incident at Columbus, NM in which he killed
American citizens.
That earns him eternal “dirt head Mexican” in my version of history. But, he was a helluva inspiration for the “Frito Bandido Eraser”.
Villa was a most interesting person. He was a real health nut - even when hiding out in the mountains of Mexico he would go out for morning runs. Entire volumes could be written about him.
I first became aware of Benito Juarez a couple of years ago when I saw the old movie "Juarez" with Paul Muni and Claude Rains. He considered his contemporary, Abraham Lincoln, to be his personal inspiration - but I think Lincoln could have learned much from Juarez. I highly recommend this movie, BTW ... *very* insightful.
These are the people Illegal Alien Amnesty supporters want to give Amnesty to
Seal the border, deport the Illegals, abrogate NAFTA....
