Gunmen kill mayor of border town in Mexico drug war
CIUDAD JUAREZ
Sun Jun 20, 2010 1:53pm EDT
CIUDAD JUAREZ (Reuters) - Gunmen killed the mayor of a Mexican town near the U.S. border that is located in the no-man's land of the country's violent drug war, police said on Sunday.
World | Mexico
Two weeks ahead of state and local elections, armed men on Saturday shot Jesus Manuel Lara, mayor of Guadalupe Distrito Bravo, which is near the border city of Ciudad Juarez, federal police spokesman Jose Ramon Salinas told Reuters.
Lara was killed at his home in Ciudad Juarez, local media reported.
Ciudad Juarez, a manufacturing city once known for its wild night life, has become the bloodiest front in President Felipe Calderon's war against drug smugglers.
More than 5,500 people have been killed in the city since 2008 as the powerful Juarez cartel fights the Sinaloa alliance for control of trafficking routes.
Calderon has staked his political future on reining in the drug killings and has sent 8,000 soldiers and federal police to the Ciudad Juarez area alone to try to defeat the cartels.
But the area outside the city's manufacturing zone, including Guadalupe Distrito Bravo, is rapidly becoming a no-man's land. Despite an army presence, people are abandoning towns, while politicians have been too scared to campaign for the upcoming elections.
Last year, at least two other municipal officials were killed in Guadalupe Distrito Bravo.

The Mexican government needs to start treating them like they treat theirs. Why is it that the Mexican armed forces aren’t just executing cartel lords? You ever think about the deeper game here?
As long as the hand is restrained against the leaders of these organizations you’ll continue to get these atrocities.
What’s the matter with the Federales down your way? Corrupt, or no huevos? Both?

Is this the same country that has been criticizing Arizona? Wake up Arizona. You are doing it all wrong. Look to Mexico to see how to properly govern yourselves. Mexico is the pinnacle of democracy and the rule of law. Mexico truly the model of social order we Arizonans should be striving to imitate.
I still have the image of OBAMA standing alongside CALDERON while they both chastised the U.S. citizens in Arizona for passing laws to make sure Mexico’s state of anarchy and civil chaos doesn’t spread into our state.
Every American should feel betrayed and embarrassed by Obama’s comments that day . Obama should appologize to the citizens of Arizona. It is Mexico he should be criticizing.
I support Arizona’s SB1070 law.

If the US really wanted to get rid of the violence in Mexico they would legalize all drugs.
Has anyone heard of the Corono “gangs” shooting the Tecate “gangs”?

We should help Mexico out of this mess. I would suggest a good solid defense of the border. If the drug traffic routes stop so does the fight for them. All in favor raise your hand. Or send a letter to Obama and Calderon.In the name of Peace and humanity lets stop this.
