She Tweeted Against the Mexican Cartels. They Tweeted Her Murder.
   
She was a crusading Twitter journalist in a bastion of organized crime who chose a photograph of Catwoman as her online avatar and christened herself Felina. Like a comic-book avenger, her alter ego defied the forces of evil in her real-life Gotham of Reynosa, a border city in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas located a short drive from McAllen, Texas. Tamaulipas is notorious as a state caught in the iron grip of organized crime. Extortion, kidnappings, shootouts, arson, bodies excavated from arid pits, all of this happens in Tamaulipas, practically on a daily basis, but hardly any of it gets reported because of a media blackout the cartels decreed four years ago that is as strictly enforced as martial law after a coup.

Two rival drug cartels in Tamaulipas, the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas, have final say over what gets printed or broadcast in the local media. By necessity the people of the state increasingly have turned to social media to share information about organized crime and its infiltration of the government. They are referred to as citizen journalists and have received international attention for their innovative use of sites like Facebook and Twitter to defy the imposition of the blackout.

>snip

Felina nevertheless continued to post a high volume of news alerts to the site at the hashtag #ReynosaFollow. Until early in the morning of Thursday, Oct. 16, when this message from Felina @Miut3 was posted:

# reynosafollow FRIENDS AND FAMILY, MY REAL NAME IS MARÍA DEL ROSARIO FUENTES RUBIO. I AM A PHYSICIAN. TODAY MY LIFE HAS COME TO AN END.

The next message, sent moments later, is supposedly her warning friends and family not to make the same mistake she did, using social media to report on organized crime, because “there is no point.” The message after that is a warning to her followers and to three prominent citizen journalists that the cartels “are closer to us than you think.” The last message sent from Felina’s account is not written but rather consists of two photos: in the first, a middle-aged woman keeps her hands folded in front of her and looks directly at the camera; in the second the same woman is lying on a dirty floor with a coup de grace bullet wound in the face. The founder of Valor por Tamaulipas confirmed that the photos are of Felina. Twitter has since shut down her account.

Could it be the fact that Mexico has disarmed everyone?  Is that what could possibly be the cause?  Let's find out!

I expect Mexican "Law enforcement" used their resources, most of the technical assets no doubt provided by Holder's DOJ and Clinton's State Department, to ferret out her identify at the behest of whichever cartel paid them to do that.

4. Maybe if the big banks laundering the cartels' drug money were prosecuted and put in prison, the cartels wouldn't have so much power.

And the banks. Don't forget the evil banks.

Has it ever occurred to the primitives that even if drugs were legal that gangs like this would find something else to run in order to make money and have control? There's always something. You can't eliminate them all.

No, that thought is WAY above their tiny little liberal noodles ability to reach.

Maybe you should tell the President from Chicago about this

Harold “Noonie” Ward, a former high-ranking member of the Gangster Disciples, one of America’s largest street gangs, claims the deadly violence that is plaguing Rahm Emanuel’s “world class city” of Chicago is because Mexican drug cartels are being allowed by “the powers that be” to operate freely and “run” Chicago’s streets.

Government allowed Mexican drug cartel to run Chi-town drug trade

DUmmies will never learn.  "If were tolerant of terrorists, they won't harm us."  "If were are tolerant of criminals, they won't commit crimes against us."

Nothing changes.  Not that it would help, but they ought to read "rattlesnake" fables in Native American literature (since they think everything non-Anglo is better   ::)  )

Gangs are finding that cigarettes are more lucrative and safer to sell on the black markets in places like Chicago and New York City.

Strange that liberals push to ban tobacco while wanting all other drugs legalized.  :stoner:

Oh, big time.  Just running upstate to Crook County with a load bought in Missouri would net me almost $4.00/pack, including transportation costs, depending on how big a load was transported and I would be undercutting retail by about $3.00/pack.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

If DUmmies didn't do illegal drugs, then there would be no drug cartels and no killings.
