Murdering Mexican Journalists
Mexican journalist dismembered, burned, officials say
A Mexican journalist kidnapped in 2007 was cut into pieces and burned in a barrel, the Tabasco state attorney general’s office said.
The determination of reporter Rodolfo Rincon Taracena’s fate was based on confessions from people suspected of abducting him, though the remains believed to be his were not preserved enough for a DNA test, according to the office.
The state attorney general’s office shared the details of an investigation at a news conference in the southern state of Tabasco on Sunday.
Notice the close proximity to the Yucatan, and Quintana Roo. We use to take our vacations in the area, Playa del Carmen. Nice if you are into ruins, which we are. Chitzen Itza is also great. But ya know what? We stopped going to Mexico. Why? Not just because of the illegal problem we are having with our borders, which was the #1 reason, but because, #2 reason, of the increase in violence.
Several DNA tests to confirm the identities of the remains were unsuccessful.
According to the state attorney general’s office, Rincon and others were beheaded and dismembered before being doused with diesel fuel and burned inside the metal drums.
The details of Rincon’s death come at a time when Mexico’s government is under pressure from international press freedom organizations to make progress in investigations of crimes against journalists.
Nice folks, eh? Life means nothing to these animals. Power, money, and the ability to control those around them. I often wonder how they feel, IF they do feel, when members of their own families are so brutally murdered?
Three journalists have been killed in Mexico this year.
And we’re barely into March. I honestly believe that if Mexican wanted to do something about the onslaught of violence in their country, they could. If they want to murder each other, keep it down there. Do NOT import it along with the millions of illegals pouring through our borders. Here’s a much better thought. How about we SECURE our borders, and this might not be an issue? Just a thought.
