Life Imitates Hitman Blood Money: Mexican Drug Lord killed by Clown.

I’ve never liked clowns, although I admit this is kinda funny in a sick way.

Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix, the eldest brother of Mexico’s once-feared Arellano Felix drug clan, was shot to death in the Baja beach resort of Los Cabos by a gunman wearing a clown costume, authorities said Saturday.

Of course, don’t feel too sorry for this guy, he was a real bastard:

The elder of the Arellano Felix brothers was arrested in 1993 in connection with the murder of Roman Catholic Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo and served a 10-year sentence for weapons possession. Mexican officials were concerned that he would return to drug trafficking after serving his Mexican sentence and asked their U.S. counterparts to seek his extradition as he neared completion of a sentence on the unrelated weapons charge.

“The Mexicans were very concerned he was going to get out,” Kirby said.

Kirby said he found enough evidence to bring charges on the 1980 drug case and he prepared the extradition request.

Arellano Felix was extradited to the U.S. in 2006 to face California charges stemming from a 1980 case in which he allegedly sold cocaine to an undercover police officer in the United States.

He was sentenced by a U.S. judge to six years in prison on drug charges but was granted parole, released and deported back to Mexico in 2008.

 

So Mexicans, how’s that gun control working out for you? I admit our early parole system sucks, but at least we’re free to keep and bear arms (in red states).
