I'm reminded of the meeting between Josey Wales and Ten Bears in the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales". The Comanche chief told Wales, "There is iron in your words of death". It looks like a cartel boss in Ecuador went one step further when he took the iron, and his death, to the grave. The New York Post reports:
A murdered Ecuadorian cartel boss known as “El Fatal” was buried with hundreds of pistols, shotguns and rifles in his coffin so he could be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife.”
Now-viral images show Sevillano in an open casket as people rush to fill it with high-caliber weapons — reportedly so that he would be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife and could defend himself.”
There's more at the link.
I suppose there's a risk that a rival cartel, short of weapons, will dig up "El Fatal" and relieve him of his afterlife arsenal. That will provoke retaliation, of course, and counter-retaliation, and . . .
If his grave remains undisturbed, with all that metal buried in his casket, it'll definitely be a case of "rust in peace"!

that has to be a grave robber target now. It wouldn't make me sad to see his body desecrated though.
ReplyDeleteA couple months and the arms will have a particular odor, making them easy to identify.

Yep, gonna be interesting to 'follow' that one... From a distance!
ReplyDeleteGot to admit, when I saw the title of this post I thought, "Hmm, how is Peter planning to weave Megadeth in with politics and/or cowboys"?
ReplyDeleteSay, that guy in the picture standing in the back? Is that Eric Holder??
ReplyDeleteHe'll need an auxiliary coffin with mags and ammo.

ReplyDeleteSpotted a few AR-15 rifles in there. I wonder if any were from the fast and furious operation. That might conveniently explain the Eric Holder connection.
