Regarding the investigation carried out by the local Attorney General, he pointed out that the initial report received was of firearms detonations and an injured person, but that agents are conducting the pertinent investigations to find out how the events took place.

During his visit last Tuesday to San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador assured that he would support the fishermen. However, he did not detail how he would do it. For two years there has been a ban on the Port of San Felipe, which prevents the communities of the Gulf of Santa Clara, in Sonora, and San Felipe, BC, from obtaining economic resources.

It’s going to get ugly ass hell down in San Felipe. The people who live work and die fishing at the port are going to give the Marin hell. Those fishermen have been going through a tough time down in San Felo and now the killing of the fishermen just busted a bubble of hell. It’s going to get bad

Eso se sacan por andar ahi de calientes haciendole a la perrada con el Sunshine... Que chinguen a sus pinchis mothas.
I miss San Felo I miss Las Dunas haven't been there in about 10 years wow
DeleteSeen a couple pictures of him posing with a gun, and in another photo he had a bundle of drugs. Not saying he wasn’t innocent but..
ReplyDeleteSerious situation developing. If you have photos or links to support your assetion, then post them. Otherwise, your comments are dangerous. Just sayin'...
DeleteUpdate: we now know he was injured not assassinated--family reports he is doing well
ReplyDeletehe probably got shot with a 55gr 5.56mm not that lethal. if had been shot by G3 .308 from a soldier instead he would be dead
Deleteugh the guy in the last video, acting all righteous about the sea and their labor when it's obviously clear that they are involved in crime and the chinese black market, then saying that the vaquita marina is being extinct by unrelated causes, OK.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that PRI may be behind all those unions, as it always is. This has always been their style for destabilization. I'm not saying AMLO is right, but as a mexican living in my country I've been seeing this tactics for more than 30 years. Why they didn't get angry in the past years? Because bussiness was booming, there are lots of shady narco and chinese businesses and buildings all along the gulf of cortez's coastline and waters, another example: the seri people in Punta Chueca help some cartels trafficking since they are their own nation and that's been always known, it's almost part of their identity and I understand, I would also be resentful of the government if I was on their situation.
ReplyDeleteThese people who claim to be proud Mexicans are upset and willing to sacrifice an indigenous mammal of their country -- the vaquita's only habitat is Mexico, so they can make money from the Chinese. How is this patriotic?
ReplyDeleteI could not imagine the Chinese would sacrifice their pandas just to make a buck. Sorry, I have no sympathy for these people.
Would the USA let the Bald Eagle go into extinction for buck?
9;37 now you know the face of an agitator making points by professing, all of them act the same, take the sides with the irrational, and think we are all their fool...
Delete10;29 yes,
Deleteand for a fistful of dollars you can go to hell too
