Mexican Police Chief Killed with F&F Rifle

Posted: Jul 9, 2013

The police chief was killed in January of this year but the story just came out yesterday. It would be wise to keep the pressure up on this gun-running scandal since more people are being killed in Mexico every day and there have been some incidences of murder in the border states, especially AZ and TX. This also is the reason why Immigration Reform should NOT be done until border security is done FIRST.

The below story was found on one site called Power Line but the more involved story is found at the link provided.

MEXICAN POLICE CHIEF KILLED WITH “FAST AND FURIOUS” RIFLE

The Fast and Furious scandal has faded somewhat from the consciousness of even President Obama’s fiercest critics. How could it not, in view of the multitude of more recent Obama administration scandals.

But Fast and Furious may return to the radar screen in light of this report:

A high-powered rifle lost in the ATF’s Fast and Furious controversy was used to kill a Mexican police chief in the state of Jalisco earlier this year, according to internal Department of Justice records, suggesting that weapons from the failed gun-tracking operation have now made it into the hands of violent drug cartels deep inside Mexico.

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. . . . 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 ï¿½ WILLFUL ï¿½ KILL ï¿½PUB OFF ï¿½GUN” ï¿½ATF” code for “Homicide, Willful Killing of a Public Official, Gun.”

Mexican authorities say that more than 200 people have been killed in Mexico by Fast and Furious weapons. In the U.S., a Fast and Furious weapon was found at the Arizona scene where U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered.

This is a scandal that shouldn’t go away, and certainly not as long as Attorney General Holder remains in contempt of the Congress that’s trying to investigate it.

at all, and we should be used to it by now. Things just "go away." Complicit media has a lot to do with it. He likes to use the words, "hold them accountable" but it never happens when it's themselves that are responsible. Never.

Um, as I recall, no one during Ws Operation Wide Receiver debacle - was ever "held accountable"

Only 13% of OWR's walking guns were recovered but, as usual, outrage over that program's 2006-2007 track record seems to be nonexistent. No arrests or indictments were made and the program was so mismanaged, prosecutors decline to bring the cases to trial.

As far as Holder's "contempt" status is concerned, let's not forget the blatant mockery that vote represented. It took place this time last year when the GOP-controlled House vote results were 255-67. If that opposed vote looks small, it is, since 108 democrats walked out rather than participate in the 3-ring circus created by the NRA, who issued it's strong-arm scored-vote ultimatum which sent 17 blue dogs rushing toward the right side of the aisle as the dems stormed the chamber exits.

If the GOP were GENUINELY interested in better management of the ATF, they would allow a permanent director's appointment to move forward (perhaps a ban on high-powered assault weapons would help as well). Ever since 2006 when that appointment first started requiring Senate confirmation, there have only been transient "acting" ATF directors...another process into which the NRA inappropriately asserts its influence. Funny how that date just happens to coincide with the time those gunrunning programs were conceived and immediately started going awry.

What's tiresome is this never-ending effort to resurrect the F&F "scandal"

In reality, the media has made a one-sided story of TM and Al Sharpless and Jesse Jackson have helped by participating in a protest.

The President had stuck his nose in it when he stated if he had a son, he'd probably be just like TM. This has further divided the people especially since it is now known and witnesses are verifying TM's attack on GZ. The ME also verified drugs in TM's system, but the media is pretty quick to keep the public stirred up and not reporting all the info.

The President's should NEVER get involved in local stories/cases, especially before HE knows all the facts even if the media makes a big deal out of a small case (beer summit comes to mind). Because he did, it has made a local trial a national trial instead of it staying local and I feel sorry for the jury because no matter what they decide, it will be wrong in the eyes of someone because if they acquit GZ, they're threatening race riots...If they find him guilty, he may go to jail even if he's innocent.

Politics don't belong in a trial and this is what it has turned out to be.

Thank you, TH, for explaining my words. (long day) - me

Let's get one thing straight here. There's only ONE reason GZ, NOT the victim, - is on trial....

[ In Reply To ..]
and that is because under very questionable circumstances, George Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed teenager who was minding his own business and who had just as much right as the neighborhood vigilante did to be in that courtyard. Unbelievably, the perp was released from custody BEFORE the parents were informed of their son's violent death. It is a crying shame the parents were forced to seek help outside the confines of their own community's law enforcement system, but thankfully they were able to find the support they needed and DESERVED to get justice for their son.

Trayvon Martin is not on trial here, he's dead, so whether or not he had traces of THC in his system is not an issue. However, what is pertinent is the fact that the guy with a gun who IS on trial was taking prescription temazepam, a benzodiazepine schedule IV controlled substance studies have shown to be associated with unusual thoughts or behavior, nervousness, excitability, irritability, confusion, hallucinations, agitation, and aggression. I would love to know if the prescription was dispensed for routine insomnia, insomnia associated with depression or for treatment of bipolar disorder.

That junk you wrote about how the president made a "big deal out of a small case" and turned a local case into a national one is a load of you-know-what. This trial is of national interest because of the well known FACT that African-Americans, whether victims or defendants, do not receive the same treatment by local law enforcement or in the courts as whites do AND because of the questionable merits of stand-your-ground laws. No case illustrates these principles better than this one.

Finally, the threat of race riots exists only in the minds (and I use the term VERY loosely) of those media outlets and their readers who foment the very same divisions you so bitterly decry. Disgusting.

This is pure BS. It wasn't a national case (sm) - Rose

until you know who stuck his big nose in it. The media (his other arm) made an issue of it. Why do you think Z wasn't arrested for weeks? Why do you think the prosecution didn't have a forensic pathologist on the case immediately? Because it would have been tossed had Sharpton and that idiot JJ and the bigger idiot made it into something it wasn't. Just for the record, some of the teenagers in my neighborhood could beat the crap out of most anyone. Then I could put their little boy pictures up on TV and we could compare.

first couple of weeks of the so-called Sanford PD "investigation," conducted by officers predisposed to automatically accept a self-defense claim by an out-of-control neighborhood watch "captain" whose bad credit disqualified him from the police academy. That in and of itself indicates the value they assessed on the dead black kid's life.

You will get ZERO acknowledgement of that right-wing blather from anyone outside the camp. No one had to make anything into anything it wasn't. It took 44 days to get an arrest. That speaks for itself. Maybe you think cases of gunning down neighborhood teenagers who you think could or might beat you up should be "tossed," but I assure you, that is not the way most Americans want their law enforcement or justice system to work. You'd be singing an entirely different tune if the races of the perp and the victim were reversed, as you very well know.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Disgusting.

speaks so affectionately about the sacrifices his single mom made and how much he owes to his maternal grandparents who were so fundamental in his upbringing? I've not heard the president talk more about one side than he does about the other. All things considered, he sure seems to have come to terms with whatever struggles he had as a young man raised without a father, whose culture remained such a mystery to him for so long. In fact, he even managed to propel himself out of the confusion he talks of often to ascend to the highest office in the land....twice.

I don't think anyone with mixed racial ancestry whose physical appearance exhibits even the slightest evidence of ethnic heritage has the luxury of "choosing" how (gag me) superior race throwbacks who subscribe to the one-drop rule view them. It is those lingering antebellum attitudes (ones that unfortunately became temporarily institutionalized in our law in The Racial Integrity Act of 1924...an oxymoron if ever there were one) which drives many mixed race individuals to struggle with how to define and view themselves within the social context of their personal identities. In that regard, Barack Obama certainly did come out on top.

yeah, but that's your white half talking - ; )

Okay, ready to reply to Trayvon's innocence. - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
His text messages show his mother bought a gun. Trayvon said she bought it for him...and then he said his mom kicked him out (in 2011) and move in with his father because she was tired of him getting in trouble. This time it was because "da police caught me outta school." Then his friend said he was just going to be a hoodlum and he replied "Naw, I'ma gansta."

Then he and his mom got into another argument and she told him to pack up his clothes.

Two months later (Feb. 2012) , he was suspended from school for 10 days for fighting. He also told a friend he was smoking marijuana and drinking. Later in the same month, he was looking to buy a .38 handgun but couldn't afford more than $80 (I think that's what he wanted to pay) but the gun would cost $150.

So, Trayvon was definitely no innocent and he was truly a troubled kid who thought he was a bad A$$, yet no one stopped him or even tried to guide him to being a better person.

Who knows what he had in mind that night but I certainly think he had a hand in his own demise since he loved to fight and it was proven that he was on top of Zimmerman. Zimmerman, therefore, tried to defend himself.

Because Obama, Sharpless and JackaSS made it about race and politics, there's no way this trial could stay neutral, and that's no excuse to find Zimmerman guilty of defending himself.

Why on earth would anyone "dislike" this post? (sm) - It's all true

Oh, wait.... Now I get it. That's exactly why. Those who have made it about race hate facing the truth. Kind of like liberals.

Sick and tired of people not looking at the case from an objective standpoint. They want to make this out to be a case of race. This has nothing to do with race. It's a self defense case. A guy was on top of another guy and he was accidentally shot. That's it. This was not no nice average young man. This was a guy who has been kicked out of school numerous times, drug abuser with drugs in his system that night. Yelling racial slurs at a man of Hispanic background.

Those people you mentioned need to keep their holes shut. Someone was getting the you know what beat out of them. They have a right to defend themselves. And the forensics and experts have determined he was on top of GZ

This was a very disturbed man who used drugs, owned a gun (no matter who bought it from him), had weapons to break into peoples homes and since there was a rash of break-ins he should not have been roaming around that neighborhood. He was not an innocent kid.

Damn straight. Sorry he died, but hey. - No innocent there.

In searching for more on this case, I found this:

http://news.yahoo.com/george-zimmerman-prelude-shooting-194235114.html

..The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him.

A criminal justice student who aspired to become a judge, Zimmerman also concerned himself with the safety of his neighbors after a series of break-ins committed by young African-American men.

Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.

"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."...

If Obama is considered to be Black, then so is George Zimmerman. So much for the argument that he's racist. He's Black. He can't be racist, liberals. Remember?

Our laws allow teenagers with no criminal records to pay cash and buy an unlimited number of military assault rifles, thus strongly impeding law enforcement's ability to track weapons bought by straw purchasers. During the investigation into Brian Terry’s death, we found that AZ courts and prosecutors believed that it was legal for a straw purchaser to buy the guns and transfer them to people not legally prohibited from possessing firearms. AZ agents protested these decisions to no avail. Consequently, a BUNCH of AZ guns wound up in Mexico.

Let’s look at the tools the ATF agents have and don’t have at their disposal when prosecuting F&F straw purchase cases. After all, there is NO firearms trafficking statute that could facilitate the ATF’s targeting of straw purchase recruiters. There is NO comprehensive database of firearms purchases ATF agents could use to investigate a suspect’s activities. Proxy buyers don’t even have to frequent totally unregulated gun shows where no background checks are required. They can walk into any gun shop and get everything on their benefactor's wish list. Then, of course, there’s that NRA-orchestrated absence of an ATF director to help complicate the issue by removing any sense of administrative continuity.

Instead, the GOP and its NRA hand-maiden reps create and exploit another Obama administration “scandal” for political gain. They continue their time-honored practice of keeping the ATF destabilized for the sake of their utterly pathologic fear of gun law enforcement (that is the pitifully few emasculated statutes still allowed to stay on the books) then have the nerve to blame ATF agents for being flawed and ineffective, thus making the NRA’s primary goal a fait accompli.

We also see that debate on these issues is not allowed during Issa’s relentless so-called investigations. The hypocrisy of pretending the ATF actually has the legal authority or means to regulate gun traffic is breathtaking. An example of how they speak with forked tongues would be how ATF was called on the carpet by Congress and the IG, first for going after the straw purchase “little guys” instead of their recruiters, then for going after the recruiters instead of the “little guys” after following those recommendations.

Bottom line here is that there is no way under current law to stop gun trafficking. A few legal course corrections might paint a completely different picture: A ban on military assault rifles. Criminalization of firearms transfers to third parties. A federal firearms trafficking statute. Of course, the GOP has other ideas that focus on reduction or elimination of gun law enforcement all together, but they would be well advised to tread lightly through yet another resurrection of their pet scandal. Things have changed since Brian Terry. Counting mass shootings has become a national passtime:

for the strictest gun control laws in the country.

Chicago reached a tragic milestone this past holiday weekend, surpassing 200 homicides for the year, with 74 people shot between Wednesday afternoon and Sunday night.

Two of the victims were young boys, aged 5 and 7, according to the Chicago Police Department. Chicago Tribune data shows they were among the 12 people killed by gun violence over the four-day period.
Chicago has recently suffered from spikes in gun violence originating from hundreds of gang factions established in block-by-block territories on the South and West sides of the city. According to police data, 40 percent of the gun violence over the weekend took place in just two neighborhoods in those areas – Austin to the west, and Garfield Park to the south.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2013/0708/Chicago-erupts-in-gun-violence-74-people-shot-12-killed-over-July-4-weekend

I was looking for the link for the top cop and his thoughts on the violence and ideas, but I won't post it because I saw it on Fox and, of course, Fox haters would only call the man a liar or worse.

the subject of the GOP's role in gun laws castration and hamstrung enforcement within the context of the phony Fast and Furious "scandal" YOU introduced in YOUR OP. Why am I not surprised? BTW, last time I checked, Illinois does not share a border with Mexico.

Penalties that would impose fines of $1,000 to $5,000 for the first offense and a mandatory 30 days in jail, $5,000 to $15,000 and a mandatory three months in jail for a second offense and $10,000 to $20,000 and a mandatory six-month jail term for a third offense are not my idea of strict gun control laws. Illinois judges are not exactly gun-ho on imposing prison time for gun offenses either. I don't see anyone in Chicago or Illinois clamoring for weaker gun statutes, do you?

TM was not an innocent bystander and you know it. You just don't want to admit it. TM attacked GZ. Eyewitnesses testified to it.

As for "being on drugs," I guess he shouldn't have been under a doctor's care for IBS? Such a shame that someone can be prescribed drugs for a health problem then be attacked because he has a health problem that's treated with Rx.

IBS conceivably could be a side effect of temazepam use, but is NOT an indication for that Rx.

They could explain the defense's 11th-hour change of heart when they decided not to talk about the TRACE amounts of THC (enthusiastically consumed by users primarily seeking its relaxing, mood elevating and euphoric effects), since that would leave the door open for the state to discuss these widely contrasting side effects of "Georgie's" Rx drug:

Anxiety
