This apparent community leader might not be following the typical Mormon Mexican pattern or Mennonite Mexican pattern.
Well said. Now he needs to seperate his personal interests from community needs.But, Mr LeBaron warned: “We do not give in.”
A Queen Creek family is mourning the deaths of at least 10 relatives, including three mothers and their young children, killed Monday in an ambush in Sonora.
The three mothers who were killed lived in a Mormon community in the state of Sonora and had dual U.S. and Mexican citizenship, according to Leah Staddon, who grew up in the same Mormon community, Bavispe, before moving to Queen Creek.
The three mothers were driving from Bavispe to a wedding in LaBaron, another Mormon community in the state of Chihuahua, when their three vehicles loaded with children were attacked by gunfire, causing one of the vehicles to explode in flames.
Staddon said her nephew's wife and her four children, among them twin 4-month-old babies, died in the blaze.
She said her brother discovered the bullet-ridden vehicle still smoldering with the charred bodies inside and shot a video as evidence.
"It's devastating," Staddon said. "It's incomprehensible, the evil. I don’t understand how someone could do that."

And I do not know what all of this "DUAL CITIZENSHIP" is about because the last I checked when I was researching ex-pats in Saudi Arabia was the United States does not recognize it. Mexico may recognize it but we do not. And any child born on Mexican soil is a Citizen of Mexico period. It doesn't matter if one or both parents are Americans the child is not American.
Thanks. I also that the coordinated attacks were performed by a cartel faction. There seem to be only two feasible suspects: Cartel faction or angry locals in water dispute.
The coordination, scale, brutality and possible use of automatic weapons (one vehicle was struck 200 times), all indicate the perpetrators being members of a cartel faction.
Had the motive been a water dispute, I think the circumstances would have been: Angry local uses a hunting rifle to fire at Mormon truck hauling a commercial water pump- one Mormon was badly wounded. Or, Mormon male killed in local village during an altercation. The assailant made references to water usage before shooting the victim with a pistol”.
Likewise, I think you are right about the survivors being allowed to leave. On report stated that the gunmen did not shoot children at close range (adults were another matter). Instead, they slinked off.

I was born in Spain of a Spanish National and America citizen. I was automatically given US citizenship. Both my children were also born in Spain and automatically given US and Spanish citizenship. We each have two passports and two birth certificates.Hmmm? I have read a few articles that claim they have probably been murdered because of mistaken identities. And this is possible because most of the cartels travel in caravans of black SUVs. But, who knows what goes on down there. Does anyone know if this clan is related to Warren Jeffs's clan in any way that sought sanctuary in Mexico? Not making any judgements. I was just wondering if they are related to him or that Lebron clan? Just being nosy.
