A 21-year-old Mexican cartel assassin — known for flaunting her curves and dangerous weapons on social media — was gunned down in a shootout with authorities, according to new reports.

Maria Guadalupe Lopez Esquivel, also known by her alias “La Catrina,” was shot in the neck Friday as Mexico’s army, National Guard and Michoacán state police raided the safe house where she stayed with several armed members of the murderous Jalisco New Generation Cartel, according to Britain’s The Sun and the Mexican outlet El Universal.

A frightened and disheveled Esquivel collapsed behind a wall and was found with her face and clothes covered in blood, The Sun said.

If each of those off-hand fired shots resulted in a kill she’s pretty good.

In the second photo, with her nice glam clothing, dark glasses and smart phone, she doesn’t know what her bad choices have in store for her (like Rats). In the first (last) photo, she’s very alone, very wounded and very scared. And about to die.

In the video at the link, she is sitting down by a wall and having a hard time breathing. According to the article, she died shortly after that on a helicopter flight to the hospital.

Is it confirmed that she remained within the helicopter the entire time?

...sarcasm, referring to Pinochet throwing Communists out of helicopters. Not a slam at you.

Learned about Dia de los Muertos in high school. Then it was about visiting the graves of loved ones and communing with their souls on that one day of the year. It corresponds with All Souls Day on November 2nd in the Catholic calendar.

But now they have gone all Alfred Hitchcock with skeletons galore and this hideous image of “Santa Muerte”. It’s a worship of Death that even the Muslims might envy.

Hallowe’en makes fun of spooks and skeletons and coffins and teaches children not to fear the inevitable IF their belief is that the death of the body is not the end of one’s existence. I’m appalled that it’s now as big a secular holiday as Christmas.

No thanks. My Christian faith tells me to make peace with my God and to trust in the goodness and mercy of my Savior.

she didn’t last long ... still, i guess they’ll write narcocorridos about her, and she’ll be memorialized, at least for a couple of weeks ...
