F&F Guns Traced to Murder of Mexican Attorney General's Brother
2012-06-29
Trying to clean up the formatting, but the post in question quotes from various sources. You're best advised to click through.
Firearms connected to Operation Fast and Furious were used in the 2010 slaying of the brother of the former Chihuahua state attorney general, according to a U.S. congressional report.

The report said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced two of the weapons suspected in the murder of lawyer Mario Gonzalez Rodríguez, but did not report this fact to the Mexican government until eight months after the tracing.

Chihuahua state police arrested eight men in connection with the kidnapping and slaying of Mario Angel Gonzalez Rodriguez, the brother of the former Chihuahua state attorney general.

His body was found half-buried in a house under construction in Chihuahua City after one of the men told officials where they could find him, federal police Commissioner Facundo Rosas said at a news conference.

Gonzalez, a lawyer, is the brother of Patricia Gonzalez Rodriguez, who left office when a new governor took over.

Police allege that the men worked for the Sinaloa drug cartel, which has been battling the Juarez drug cartel.


Let this stand as a harsh reminder that Holder's department intentionally allowed guns to be placed into the hands of extremely violent cartel members. Holder not only remains in office as head of the DOJ, but now actively uses the office to cover up the wrong in this terrible, tragic episode.

This is the type of governance Barack Obama blesses and protects.

#6  #3 One must wonder if the late David Koresh ever made the mistake of obtaining BATF weapons?

Why is it that Americans die at the hands of Democratic administrations? Brian Terry, Ruby Ridge killings, and the Waco killings.

#4  How many of the two murdered agents would still be alive if the US Justice Department gave the same thousands of Assualt Weapons to Mexican Police Departments, Federals, and Military instead of the drug cartels?

Answer: 2

How many Mexican citizens would still be alive?

Answer: Far more than the 200 killed by those weapons, because these weapons COULD have been used to prevent muders by all the other cartel weapons. Maybe 1,000?

#3  One must wonder if the late David Koresh ever made the mistake of obtaining BATF weapons? As I recall, informaton on the weapons recovered in the tragic fire at the Waco compound were never released.

#1  All done under the banner of "If we hadn't given them the guns, then someone else would have."

I certainly wouldn't want to be the one who would have given the guy who killed me the gun, but maybe that's just me.
