A mayor in Mexico’s western state of Michoacán was shot dead in a plaza in front of dozens of people who had gathered for Day of the Dead festivities, authorities have said.

The mayor of the Uruapan municipality, Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, was gunned down Saturday night in the town’s historic centre. He was rushed to a hospital where he later died, according to state prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña.

A city council member and a bodyguard were also injured in the assault.

Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah. Should we invade Utah?

On a serious note the vast majority of guns in Mexico are manufactured in and trafficked from the United States our own research backs this up. Mexico has repeatedly asked the United States to monitor this and been ignored. Mexico even filed a lawsuit but our corrupt Supreme Court full of facist activist judges dismissed the case. We really haven’t taken any personal responsibility as a country to help our neighbor with this issue so I’m quite sure the motive is much more sinister than the Trump administration is letting on. We already know how they feel about the Latino community and indigenous people. We know they are kidnapping and sending every migrant to a concentration camp, disappearing them or deporting them to a foreign concentration camp. This Mexico invasion has some real Poland invasion from the Nazis vibes because there’s no chance this doesn’t escalate and when it does that’s their false flag.

To be clear on the facts Mexico has stated that they do not want military intervention from the United States. We as a country have refused to crack down on American guns being trafficked to cartels in Mexico. Most of the guns in Mexico were trafficked from the United States….I guess the wall didn’t help. Seems like America has our own ultra right cartel problem. Historically when the United States invades millions of innocent civilians die. This action will definitely put us in violation of international law.
