3 more murders linked to Gunwalker

(GunReports.com) -- Weapons linked to ATF's controversial "Fast and Furious" operation have been tied to at least eight violent crimes in Mexico including three murders, four kidnappings and an attempted homicide, CBS News reports.

According to a letter from U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the disclosed incidents may be only a partial list of violent crimes linked to Fast and Furious weapons because "ATF has not conducted a comprehensive independent investigation."

When added to the guns found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in the U.S., the newly-revealed murders in Mexico bring the total number of deaths linked to Fast and Furious to four.

While it is reprehensible that a government organization.....BATFE.....has willfully violated the law, to include its' own regulations, it is abhorrent to the Nth degree that these transgressions have resulted in the murders of any people, let alone the four that have been determined to have occurred. Since this travesty of justice has placed firearms into the hands of notoriously violent gangs, I fear that far more than four lives have fallen to the degenerate actions of the BATFE and our Department of Justice. A special prosecutor needs to be appointed NOW, to investigate and hold all who were complicit in this mess accountable. The souls of the victims and the hearts of all law abiding adherents of the Second Amendment cry out for justice!

Holder: "What, Me Worry?" All he needs is a missing tooth.

I do not see anything improving until NoBama and his cabinet of hoodlums are voted out. Holder HAD to know about this. The boss? Who can tell for sure. I truly believe that this entire escapade was done to be used in a new rant on gun control. What a bunch of dopes. Incompetent from soup to nuts. I Pray for all those who were afflicted with this totally unnecessary mistake perpetrated by our inept Government Officials. Fire & prosecute them to the full limit of the Law.

See the article below on AttackWatch. "The Obama administration supports a UN treaty that controls the illegal arms trade." Why? So that F&F low level flunkies can be prosecuted in the World Court, not a US court? Hypocrisy thy name is Obama. I agree with the Colonel 100%. We need a special prosecutor NOW.

For those who voted for Obama to prove they were not racists. Please vote against him to prove you are not idiots.

Yeah, Ralph..... I have seen bumper stickers with that statement on them.

"ATF has not conducted a comprehensive independent investigation."

Funny, but it seems to me that they didn't do any 'comprehensive' planning for tracking those guns in the first place. So, I'm still wondering if it was intentional that those guns would end up in Mexico with NOBODY tracking their movement.

Comment by: david b | September 26, 2011

Now, davidb, are you suggesting that ATF might be the arms supplier for the Mexican cartels, and that ATF gets monetary "dividends" from the cartels' sale of illegal drugs?

Comment by: canovack | September 26, 2011

Oh, sir, you do me an injustice. I would never suggest such a thing ;-) - I'm only saying that it would appear, based on the lack of ANY means whatsoever of actually tracking those guns once they left the store and the OBVIOUS need to have some tracking plan or method in place to 'follow' those guns, that it would seem those guns were INTENDED to go to Mexico. Whether or not there was any financial benefit to the ATF or on the side to any of it's officials is probably more for the FBI or Congress to speculate about than for me. And I'm sure they're not THE arms supplier to the cartels - but in at least a few cases it looks like they did that.

However, now that the subject is on the table, I suppose it's possible, and perhaps even 'likely'. How else could somebody come up with such a numbskull idea if they weren't getting paid to implement that level of stupidity?

Comment by: david b | September 26, 2011

Ya know...If this wasn't such a damned travesty of justice and betrayal of American values, david b, it might be laughable. At any rate, we can still smile cynically at what might, in fact, turn out to be reality.

Comment by: canovack | September 26, 2011

Canovack, I am so convinced of what I decline to actually say that I will be surprised if it doesn't come out someday. But that does presume that the investigation will go on, and digging will continue. It probably needs either another journalistic team working on it like the Watergate story, or a special prosecutor to investigate. However, since those guys are appointed, I think we'll have to hope for some good journalist to run this to the ground - maybe like Vin Suprynowicz.

On the other hand, I have to pray that someday I'll be proven wrong. It should be beyond the pale for any of our federal agents to be so corrupt. Crooked government agents are as bad as pederast priests. OK, maybe not AS bad, but in that general area of 'disgusting'.

I think I know the feeling..... On the one hand, the BATFE has been such a pain in the butt with its' arrogant conduct of business and stupid schemes, that it would be payback in spades to see it take a major hit. On the other hand, however, it does cause one to grieve concerning the deliberately illegal behavior of an agency of the government that is sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. As an Army officer, I freely took that oath very seriously. When I retired from the Army and entered the arena of public education, I once again took that oath, once again very seriously. It really pisses me off when people violate that oath.....more so when they do it so easily in the name of advancing an agenda that is contrary to the Constitution.

IF this was not ordered by the White House, it was most certainly ordered by the Attorney General in one fashion or another. Absolutely the dumbest blunder by high ranking U.S. Government officials. Those involved need to be fired and prosecuted for their misconduct.
