Paint a target on your forhead and sit in a public place whete they can easily find and kill you? If you were that visible of a target doesn't common sense tell you to move far far away and keep a low profile?
ReplyDeleteThe criminals killed a good man. Cuco was loved by many in the U.S. and Mexico. He had a long and honorable career, niether of which the narco-scum will ever have. RIP, Cuco.
ReplyDelete@12:03 Im pretty sure he knew the risk, but he did not cower in the face of criminal scum and lived his life as he wished
ReplyDeletehow did he dress?
ReplyDeletebecause he looks like a dictator, WHICH IS AWESOME!
lol
Well said @5:34am. A good cop is hard to find in Mexico now days, I to have heard he was respected on both sides of the border.
ReplyDeleteif this man played by his own rules and did'nt surrender to the cartels and was a man of morals, then i respect him. but to have survived 33 years as a police officer makes me think that maybe he was'nt that good of a person. he probably thought, "there's no way they would kill me at an Applebees. well, in mexico, there are no rules. anything and everything always happens in mexico.
