Gunman in clown suit kills senior Mexican drug cartel member - Polidicks

[QUOTE]MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A gunman in a clown costume shot and killed the oldest brother of one of Mexico's most notorious drug trafficking families in the resort of Los Cabos, authorities said on Saturday. Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix, 63, a former leader of the Tijuana Cartel, was shot in the head late on Friday at a family gathering in the southern tip of the state of Baja California Sur, a spokesman for state prosecutors said. "A person dressed as a clown took his life," he said. Local media reported that the killer had two accomplices, but this was not yet clear, the spokesman said. The gunman fled the scene. Arellano Felix spent nearly 15 years behind bars for drug-related offenses after his arrest in Mexico in late 1993. Extradited to the United States in 2006, he was later paroled and walked free on his return to Mexico in early 2008. Another official working with state prosecutors said Arellano Felix, the oldest of the brothers who headed the gang, was not wanted by authorities at the time of his death. The possibility that his killer had ties to organized crime was being investigated, the official said. Led by a large family of brothers and sisters, the Tijuana Cartel was one of the most powerful drug gangs in Mexico until it was gradually weakened by the capture or killing of several its leading members during the previous decade. Arellano Felix's younger brothers, Francisco Javier, Benjamin and Eduardo are serving prison sentences in the United States. Another of his brothers, Ramon, was killed in a shootout with police in 2002. [/QUOTE] You can't spell manslaughter without laughter.

I heard you they don't [I]clown around[/I] in the Mexican drug biz, but in this case it looks like a [I]clown[/I] got [I]around[/I] his guards and got to him and shot him!

"You're all stupid, see, they're gonna be looking for gangland guys"

It's always strange when stuff like this happens, but the big question is did he float?

They all float.

Sounds like the clown played too much Hitman: Absolution.

I wish he shot him with a balloon tommy gun just like in the mask

Good. And I mean it. Fuck that guy. [editline]19th October 2013[/editline] also OP's avatar is perfect. [t]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=470674&dateline=1375525160[/t]

I hope he at least got a mask on Payday.

someone direct a movie about a clown vigilante

I guess he wasn't clowning around when he totally mean't that he would shoot the guy.

You could turn this into a movie.

Comments section on the article gave a few laughs. [quote]We in the United States are also having major problems with clowns. They have disguised themselves as politicians and have turned our government into a great big circus![/quote]

the CIA has to be involved, this is like 100% their crazy shit that they'd do

It's actually kinda genius. If he successfully escaped, he was probably able to get rid of the makeup and clothing and nobody will ever know who he really was.

[QUOTE=matt000024;42581368]Comments section on the article gave a few laughs.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of that old Fairly Odd Parents special. "We even checked U.S Congress. It was full of clowns, but none of them were fun!"

This could be in an episode of Breaking Bad, had it not ended.

[QUOTE=geogzm;42580989]honk[/QUOTE] honk honk motherfucker I like to think he broke in using stuff like the lapel-flower squirting acid into the guard's face.

The true clown Mexico deserves, but needs at parties right now. I can't even imagine that death, died from the gun of a clown.

This is how Breaking Bad should of ended
