Lake Pirate Murder Investigator Assassinated

When my colleague Bruce Carton warned readers to watch out for lake pirates last week, I didn't know how seriously to take him (despite his writing, "No, seriously."). But it seems these guys mean business.

One of the Mexican police investigators looking into the murder of jet skier David Hartley has been assassinated.

There's no confirmation that the killing was directly related to the Hartley case, as the officer, Rolando Armando Flores Villegas, was also, of course, working on other matters. TalkLeft has a good roundup of the news coverage and commentary on the Hartley case and this latest development. And Stand By Liberty is citing this as an example of the consequences of inadequate border security.
