WASHINGTON—A high-powered rifle lost in the ATF’s Fast and Furious controversy was used to kill a Mexican police chief in the state of Jalisco earlier this year, according to internal Department of Justice records, suggesting that weapons from the failed gun-tracking operation have now made it into the hands of violent drug cartels deep inside Mexico.
Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga, the police chief in the city of Hostotipaquillo, was shot to death Jan. 29 when gunmen intercepted his patrol car and opened fire. Also killed was one of his bodyguards. His wife and a second bodyguard were wounded.

A police chief in the state of Jalisco, Mexico was murdered with one of the missing Fast and Furious weapons:
Heckuva job, Holdie.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Besides, Bush did it first!
You took the words right out of my mouth, Paddy.
Happy Caturday, Gerbil Nation!
We’ve started getting Teh Younger packed for college. It’s now getting real to him.
Drive-by:
ClanK luncheon after-action report: ribs, tater salad, baked beans with bacon, chocolate cake; nom!
Also, convivial company. (Plus, LambiePieK drank teh Kool Aid…gaaaaaaaaah!)
Paddy --
“School just got real!” for Teh Younger, eh?
I don’t wanna even think what that could mean.
She drank actual Kool-Aid, which tastes every bit as foul as I recall from my yout’.
Even fifty years ago, I thought that stuff was vile compared to Wyler’s lemonade mix or Hawaiian Punch. Hell, Kool-Aid was as bad as Fizzies.
But I’ll admit it’s slightly better than King Stir or Tang.
Hey! Fizzies were great! Unless you had to drink the result, that is, then it was more like carbonated Kool-aid.
Oh, and Grape Tang wasn’t as bad as that horrible orange-colored stuff. It had real, artificial grape flavor!
“True dat!” re Fizzies. Never had the grape Tang; it was unusual to have any of that sort of stuff in the house when I was a kid.
I also recall the artificial grape and sour apple flavors of Adams chewing gum…which I don’t think I’d find palatable at my advanced age.
Dunno about Pixy Stix…
