ABSURDITY: KILLER CLOWNS ASSASSINATE MEXICAN DRUG LORD.

Some Breaking Bad-level shit.

Just because Breaking Bad is over, it doesn’t mean that the world will be bereft of absurd cartel-related killings. I mean, the show got wild, but it never had killer clowns.

Killer.

Fucking.

Clowns.

Francisco Rafael Arellano Félix, the eldest brother in Mexico’s once-dominant Tijuana drug cartel, was shot to death by gunmen disguised as clowns at a children’s party on Friday.

The 63-year-old drug lord was also known by the nicknames “El Pelón” (the baldie) or Menso, (“stupid/crazy”). He was assassinated by a man in a clown suit during a family gathering at an upscale resort in Cabo San Lucas, a popular tourist destination on the Baja California peninsula, state special investigations prosecutor Isai Arias told Associated Press on Saturday:

 An official of the Baja California Sur state prosecutor’s office told the AP that the costumes included a wig and a round red nose.
