Juan Francisco Patron and 7 lieutenants mowed down last night by helicopter Minigun (video)

Mexican cartel boss Juan Francisco Patron, also known as H2, was a high ranking leader in the Beltran-Leyva Cartel, an offshoot of the Sinaloa Cartel.

The video is safe for lunch. It is night, from a distance, and firing into a walled enclosure.

There are some gore pictures of the aftermath floating around twitter, but I'm not going to link them.




He was mini-gunned to death by a Mexican Air Force helicopter hovering over a house in a firefight.

The siege in the western state of Nayarit marked a fresh victory for the Mexican government in their fight against the country's drugs barons.

Bullet holes visible in the tops of the windows.

" oh crap it`s a helicopter with a mini gun"
" quick, lets hide in this adobe and cinder block building they`ll never get us in here...hehehe"

they deserved to be mini-gunned just for owning one of those new ugly looking jeeps, that don`t even look like a "real" jeep.

When a criminal element gets machine-gunned out of existence ... like ... all gone bye-bye ... there's less likelihood of something rushing in and filling the vacuum left behind.

Good riddance ... and about damned time.

I'm trying to find more accurate information, and the story may change; but so far I think they were shooting at the helicopter, not surrendering to the Police/Marines, and the helicopter shot back.

California's liberal government would use them on conservative speakers trying to enter a campus for a talk.

We're talking about Mexico, and cartels. There's at least 3 or 4 waiting to step in. As long as the demand is there, someone will always fill it.

Is there a difference?

Appear to be same incident with clips from ground, too, including what appears to be people returning fire at the helicopter, and traffic on street making U-turns, backing up, and some vehicles speeding up to get away from incident.

Here is a quote...

A regional leader of the remnants of the fractured Beltran Leyva drug cartel was killed in a shootout with federal forces, Mexican authorities said Friday.

fox news world.com

The men were allegedly responsible for the death of five military personnel back in September in the city of Culiacán

The Government Secretariat (Mexico's equivalent of an interior ministry) tweeted a similar announcement.

Paid or not paid, I think the Military paid for the bullets.

Oh I see this was IN Mexico.

For a minute I thought it was in Arizona.

Rest in pieces Juan.

A bad guy is dead.
He did not deserve a trial or a jury.
