I was glad to hear that Mexican marines shot and killed a drug baron. Ezequiel “Tony Tormenta” Cardenas was killed in a shootout on Friday. The incident happened just across the U.S. border near Brownsville Texas. The shootout caused mayhem in the town but was a victory in the war on drugs.
It took about 150 marines to do the job. Unfortunately, three marines were killed in the firefight. My heart goes out to their families. Mexican drug violence has become increasing a problem and anything that could help is a bonus. I’m glad there is one less bad guy out there and hope the authorities will be able to apprehend or kill many more.
