Political Murder in Mexico

A mayor of a municipality in Mexico has been shot dead. The murderers stormed a village hall where the mayor had a meeting. Two police officers were also injuried. 

This is not the first political murder in the area this year. 

Every murder is a tragedy. A political murder, however, is not just an attack on the person herself, but an attack on the whole community and the democratic system through which she has been elected. In this sense, a political murder is worse than many other murders. 

We feel for the family of the killed mayor, the whole municipality, and her dogs, if she had any.
