Mexican Police Chief Killed By Rifle From Project Gunwalker

Jalisco Police chief killed with rifle "lost" in Project Gunwalker

Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga, the police chief in the city of Hostotipaquillo, was shot to death Jan. 29 when gunmen intercepted his patrol car and opened fire. Also killed was one of his bodyguards. His wife and a second bodyguard were wounded.

Local authorities said eight suspects in their 20s and 30s were arrested after police seized them nearby with a cache of weapons — rifles, grenades, handguns, helmets, bulletproof vests, uniforms and special communications equipment. The area is a hot zone for rival drug gangs, with members of three cartels fighting over turf in the region.

A semi-automatic WASR rifle, the firearm that killed the chief, was traced back to the Lone Wolf Trading Company, a gun store in Glendale, Ariz. The notation on the Department of Justice trace records said the WASR was used in a “HOMICIDE – WILLFUL – KILL –PUB OFF –GUN” –ATF code for “Homicide, Willful Killing of a Public Official, Gun.”

Hundreds of firearms were lost in the Fast and Furious operation. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed illegal purchasers to buy the firearms at the Lone Wolf store in the Phoenix suburb and other gun shops in hopes of tracing them to Mexican cartel leaders.

The WASR used in Jalisco was purchased on Feb. 22, 2010, about three months into the Fast and Furious operation, by 26-year-old Jacob A. Montelongo of Phoenix. He later pleaded guilty to conspiracy, making false statements and smuggling goods from the United States and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.

Well, I guess project gun runner worked out just how BATFE wanted. Let known scum buy pistols and rifles, don't track them, let the rifles cross the border without surveillance, and then watch where they turn up in crimes. :S

Clearly the problem is too few guns. If Fast and Furious had just supplied more guns this problem could have been avoided.



Mexico should just require background checks. That will solve the problem. If that doesn't work, they should just ban all guns. Just look at how well making drugs illegal has worked.

Which one did he break?



Not that I care, and never mind that such an open-ended interpretation of this rule would result in tons of people getting warned/banned because it basically prohibits scathing sarcasm, but here's the language in the rules...

No Personal attacks, Flaming and Trolling.
Personal attacks and hate posts will not be tolerated in any forum. Personal attacks on another user are a great way to earn some time off, as is posting inflammatory material specifically to provoke a negative response from someone (aka trolling).



He's mocking people that have argued in other situations that more people with concealed carry permits carrying firearms would help reduce gun violence. Whether it's specifically to provoke a negative response or just incidentally to provoke a negative response is always debatable though.

You want to clarify that before I tell you what it sounds like? If its a joke it isn't funny. If its not, it's worse.

Why do you care if or why I care?

Why don't you care why the guy that brought it up in the first place cares?

Why did you care enough to reply to him if you don't care about the subject of his post?

You can't accept that Mods can do whatever they want? How long have you been posting here?

Yet it's generally accepted for cops to have this very attitude towards others.

It's not acceptable for a cop or anyone else to be a racist. Being happy that someone has been killed by criminals is also generally considered a fucked up perspective regardless of employment.

Try to pay attention, Jakee. It's right there in the original post.

No, it really wasn't.

Would his comment have been acceptable from someone that wasn't a mod? If yes, what rule prevents a mod from saying it, if no, what rule prevents normal poster's from saying it?

Non-sequitur, I didn't reply to any such comment. It's a little early in the thread for you to lose the plot (but only a little).

I replied to Pilfy. Why do you care what I have to say to him? You can't accept that anyone can reply to a comment on a public forum?
