As the post's title might indicate, I don't have anything interesting to say about the anti-kidnapping
crusader from Chihuahua who was murdered earlier this week, other than the obvious: sad story from a place overflowing with them. But in the interest of keeping you updated, according to the
PGR the murder was committed by a paramilitary group, while state officials say it was
committed by the street gang La Linea, which is affiliated with Vicente Carrillo's organization. Richard's
got another theory.
Update: Richard elaborates:
The killers probably were from this gang (though, as in Michoacan, the first suspects are usually just whomever the coppers picked up first) but my speculations on the LeBaron community were more that -- as very odd outsiders, and a very closed-in community -- they've probably made more than their share of enemies for any number of reasons.

Street gang? How about "dirt road gang"?

And, making the victims into saints (OK, other than "latter-day saints") might not prove wise.
Right I meant to clarify that a bit in the post, and for whatever reason didn't, which is why it looks chopped off. Sorry. I'll post your explanation.
