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 — rifles, grenades, handguns, helmets, bulletproof vests, uniforms and special communications equipment. The area is a hot zone for rival drug gangs, with members of three cartels fighting over turf in the region.
Hundreds of firearms were lost in the Fast and Furious operation. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed illegal purchasers to buy the firearms at the Lone Wolf store in the Phoenix suburb and other gun shops in hopes of tracing them to Mexican cartel leaders.

It's amazing how the death of Trayvon the Anointed is so much more deserving of attention than the deaths of Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens by this administration and its media. It's disgusting.

Well Saint Skittles was black, therefore innocent by default, and his shooter was a racist creepy ass cracker. So naturally that story is of great importance, a cracker border agent and a bunch of brown people across the border don't count. Brown people only matter when we are at war and when they want votes.

That's because our half breed president interjected himself into the trayvon incident early on and whipped the race baiters into a frenzy which the low/ no information crowd swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

It's not theft, it's "fairness".
At least that's what Obama calls it.
