Mayor of Tancitaro, Aide Stoned to Death in Mexico.
A small-town mayor and an aide were found stoned to death Monday in a drug-plagued western state, the fifth city leader to be slain in Mexico since mid-August.
Michoacan state Attorney General Jesus Montejano said the bodies of Tancitaro Mayor Gustavo Sanchez and city adviser Rafael Equihua were discovered in a pickup truck abandoned on a dirt road near the city of Uruapan.
Montejano’s spokesman, Jonathan Arredondo, said initially that the victims were hacked to death with a machete, but the attorney general said they were killed with stones.
Yet, President Calderon insists that Mexico is not a third world country.

He was 28. These bastards think that the country is the killing fields.

Mexico, where barbarism thrives like an Olympic sport. The Taliban at least have no problem still living in the dark ages and being barbaric.

I don’t know who is worse, the goat lovers or the cartels.

Seems that Mexico is at the point where Calderon needs to be ousted by an iron-fisted military that will clean out the punks. Problem is, as history has shown, the cure becomes a new disease.
