Gunmen kill 18 in attack on city hall in southern Mexico
NY Post ^

Posted on 10/06/2022 8:04:06 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Attackers gunned down a mayor, his father and 16 other people in the southern Mexico state of Guerrero on Wednesday, authorities said.

State Attorney General Sandra Luz Valdovinos told Milenio television late Wednesday that 18 people were killed and two were wounded in the town of San Miguel Totolapan. Among the dead were Mayor Conrado Mendoza and his father, a former mayor of the town, she said. Two additional people were wounded.

Images from the scene showed a bullet-riddled city hall.

Mexico’s Congress this week is debating the president’s proposal to extend the military’s policing duties to 2028. Last month, lawmakers approved López Obrador’s push to transfer the ostensibly civilian National Guard to military control.

This is obviously disinformation. Guns are illegal in Mexico; therefore gun crime does not exist in Mexico. /s

This is unpossible. Guns are agin the law in Mexico, or so I thought.

These are the people they’re sending up here - clearing their jails of criminals and the insane - smuggling them into our country.

Guerrero state is where Acapulco is located. It’s always been a violent state going back decades. Lots of bad boys, drug dealers, smugglers, etc. reside there. I would assume the “elected” officials and their families and staffs are corrupt as hell, and well, when gangs get to fighting over turf, they’re part of the menu. Too bad, it’s a beautiful place, in its natural setting. Oh well, mierda passa.

Not only are guns illegal in Mexico, but mass shootings don’t happen anywhere but in the US. This is obviously disinformation.
