US Marshal Executed in Juarez
Just a coincidence with Sec. Clinton visting Mexico today. The media is all over Mexico right now, epecially with the upcoming visit by Obama.
Story reported as "developing" on CNN.

Huh?
"The federal source, who was not authorized to speak about the case and asked not to be named, told CNN that Bustamante was accused of stealing U.S.
government property and pawning it. He would buy the items back on pay days and return them, the source said.
According to the source, a pawn shop owner became suspicious when Bustamante attempted to pawn a shotgun. The store owner called the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Carter said Bustamante was on "modified status," meaning he was required to turn in his gun and badge outside of his official work hours."

It makes no sense, unless this is the most ineffective money-laundering scheme ever.

IMHO- It's not the narcos sending a message. They would have done it much differently. This was a just troubled man playing a money game with the
wrong people in the wrong place.

or...the guns he was planning to sell to the cartels were recovered by the government so it was seen by the cartels as a guy who failed to deliver.
Thus, the ultimate price.

No big deal, just another mex with a Badge trying to play both sides.
Wrong place, right time.

You're probably right about this guy. There's little to indicate the flags should fly at half-mast on this one.
