Borderland Beat reports a 74 year old Zacatecas businessman shot and killed two of four would be kidnappers at his own doorway in Fresnillo.
If you have missed previous Alley posts on ?express kidnapping,? that trade is a major source of income for the Cartels. It works like this. Some prosperous individual is grabbed, and his family told to pay a huge ransom for the victim?s safe return. The family pays; and a few days later the victim?s body is found in the high weeds somewhere.
Briefly returning to the attempted kidnapping in Fresnillo, and quoting Borderland Beat:
Fresnillo, Zacatecas.- Early this morning, to repel an attempted abduction, a 74 year old businessman from Fresnillo, Alfonso del Cojo Sucunza, killed 2 of his attackers and wounded others at his house door in the center of Fresnillo, (about 720 kilometers north of M?xico City).
At 4:20 am, when the aggression happened, State police maintained an intense security operation on the premises of the Electoral Institute of the State of Zacatecas, 450 meters (500 yards, approximately, S) away from the house.
We old guys teeth may be a little blunted, but we still have them. And where it is allowed, friends named Paco y Elisibeta as well. I do not know whether El Gente called upon Paco or Elisabeta, but one of his life preservers did a really good job of ?sterminating it some bad guys.
Sr. del Cojo will have to disappear, of course, since the Cartels cannot afford to let someone like him survive. But better to disappear into the Estados Unidos than into the grave.
Bueno, muy bueno, Senor. Recover soon.
