Spanish Ruling Party Politician Assassinated In Broad Daylight
Until recently, it was mostly bankers that were the victims of a perplexing epidemic of untimely deaths, either at their own hand or the result of someone else's rage. Today that changed in Spain when hours ago a member of the ruling Partido Popular, and president of the council of Leon, Isabel Carraso, 59, was assassinated in broad daylight on a street in the center of the city of Leon. Her death was certified at 5:20 pm local time.
According to El Pais, eyewitnesses report that at about five in the afternoon, a woman shot Carrasco three times, on the Bernesga footbridge over the river at the health center of La Condesa. A man and a woman who were at that time walking along the river, heard five shots passed under the gateway. "We thought it was firecrackers," said the man to El Pais. The couple turned to the area of ??La Condesa nearest river and heard the sound of several ambulances and police cars. "We saw the body of a person lying face down with a woman standing next to her said."
El Pais adds that Police sources have indicated that they have arrested a woman for her alleged involvement in the murder of Isabel Carrasco. The Home Office points to the "personal vendetta" as the motive for the murder. As a result the PP party has suspended all campaign activities.
Judging by the market which is set to close at new all time highs, this latest assassination, be it for "vendetta" reasons or otherwise, is almost as bullish as the escalation of the second cold war over in Ukraine.

"Personal vendetta". Yeah I'd say so.
At least no nailguns were involved!
Lets hope this starts a trend!
Neeext!
...At least no nailguns were involved!
Two nekkid chicks-nailgun-slingers shooting at each other with galvanized nails! Now, THAT I would pay to see! ;-)
Looney
BULLISH
This should be good for another 12 points on ES by the end of the session.
This was an inside job. This guy was 59 years old and just about ready to start drawing pension from the state, which they can not afford, so they hired one of the underemployed italian professionalals to take care of the problem. This is part of the European Union in action.
Years ago, the poor slob would have light himself on fire. Now they are taking it out on somebody else..., we're making progress.
Spain will revert to the autocratic kleptocracy it had been as recently as the 1970's, amongst the cultural ruins of two generations of catastrophic birth rates and live for the moment hedonism.
Gee who do you have to blow around here to stay alive?
Vendetta, as in "V for Vendetta"? But no, this chick got caught...not very smart. You might have taken out more of them. And if you had a cool Guy Fawkes mask, you might attract a following...
It has been estimated that there were as many as 10,000 political murders during the interwar period in Germany. You know, after the hyperinflation...
Tom Donohue, you better watch out, some crazy will come for you!
The woman killed was killed by a woman who had recently been fired.
And the reason that she got shot was... THE BITCH HAD IT COMING!
The humorous, (if such things can be considered humorous), bit about this was that the shooter was family to a police inspector.
See that Harry?
term limits rule
So, no parting shot from her?
You nailed that comment.
In for a penny, in for a sixteen penny.
In for a penny, in for a sixteen penny.
The real question is - were any shitgums used?
If I were to guess, one of the two is "the other woman"
Wait, they didn't try and claim this was a suicide? I'm confused.
They'll say the victim hired the assassin to kill her because she didn't have the guts to pull the trigger herself.
See how easy that is?
You are so right. Too easy!!
Mr. Hammer, I salute you.
This is why Hillary cleans up her loose ends.
she made a lot of enemies... at one point of time she had over 10 public positions (10 different paychecks coming from taxpayers) and she threated and insulted many others....
for those who speak Spanish, check this video, she won't be missed for sure...

Fire crackers? We europeans can't even distinguish real gunshots from firecrackers o_O
Firecrackers???? Really?
Small caliber?
Pretty common assumption actually. Most people think small caliber gunfire is firecrackers.
Incoming has a very distinct sound.
Personal vendetta was absolutely guaranteed the moment it was clear the victim was an elite.
If Google is correct, she is not too bad for 59. Most likely this was a catfight over a beefbone.
In Portugal foreigners are called "beefs"
To each their own, I guess, but she does not appeal to me in the least: http://www.abc.es/Media/201307/22/isabel-carrasco-entrevista--644x362.jpg
Maybe if she took her dentures out first, like on "Yes Man".
That's the protoplasm left after the soul has been removed.
It is unfortunate that you cannot unsee some things.
My fault for clicking the link. Won't happen again.
Feeling your pain, CM.

That eye bleach is fantastic. Thanks Sabibaby!
She's very shapely. But if she's not careful she'll get RSI of her selfie finger.
Oh me oh my.
oh yeah!
way to wreck a fantasy dude
Fuckin A! Rode hard and put away wet. Saggy is NOT hard on material.
Hey anyone that ugly deserves to get shot.
By 53, all of the women have gone frigidaire.
And by not too bad you mean she's hideous and you just wanted to make us look?
Barf!
I think your Google is broken.
sounds like may someone may have been screwing around with someone else's hubby or boyfriend, ay?
Well he will be easy to find, man with guide dog; hunted.
Ow!! That's gotta hurt!
I've got problems in Chicago distinguishing between fireworks and gunshots too.
Those are pretty much all gunshots.
Welcome to 'Chiraq.'

Bullish.

I thought Spain had strict gun laws. WTF is up with that?
The footbridge has not been specifically designated a "Gun-Free Zone" yet. The signs that will enforce the ban are in the mail.
Maybe they used a 3D printer to make one?
See http://rt.com/news/157688-japan-3d-guns-printer/
I wonder if the female assassin was a member of the Spanish space program?
Was she wearing a diaper?
The shooter knew she was going to be walking over that bridge.
Perfect place to surprise someone and take them out without hitting bystanders.
And no chance for excape
"Perfect place to surprise someone and take them out without hitting bystanders."
So we know it wasn't someone trained by the NYPD.
Yes, a very thoughtful kill.
It seems to be inspired by this incident on the bridge of Montereau :

It started a civil war in France...
Tick Tock Republicans. Tick Tock Democrats.
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
Surprised no one has yet made the comparison to Archduke Ferdinand and Sophie.
Lot's of instability out there. Pray for peace and prepare for the worst.
the bitch......
Why isn't ever, "Congresswoman Waters walking across the street" or "Senator McCain in his bathtub"?
Go west young man!
"Senator McCain (having a freak accident while making toast) in his bathtub".
Totally believable!
That m'fer IS a freak accident.
That's why bathrooms now have GFCI switches in power outlets in bathrooms these days. You need to run an extension chord from another room.
Did see an episode of "1,000 Ways to Die", where someone OD'd by having alcohol injected into their butt. It turns out that it gets absorbed much faster into the blood stream via the rectum, than the "traditional" way. Call it an Analy Injected Death Sentence. Of course, if a villain tried to cover their tracks, they'd make sure that the target also drank a good amount of booze, to fool the coroner/ME. Or is this "tradecraft" one is not supposed to post?
Damn, think of the money Nicolas Cage could have saved leaving las vegas butt wise....
If the murder did not look like a suicide, then it was not the CIA. Thank you, Brennan, for sparing that Spanish politician - Ukraine has all your attention, I presume.
One down, a lot more to go.
We came we saw she died mwahahahaha
That line cannot be repeated too often. I love telling democrats about that interview. She's a female Cheney.
She ran, she won, shit started.
"this latest assassination, be it for "vendetta" reasons or otherwise, is almost as bullish as the escalation of the second cold war over in Ukraine."
Could be a new arrow in the Feds quiver.
Five shots is cold.
She probable had a 5 shot revovler and emptied all five shots into her criminal cronyist politician. Was the last shot a head shot?
A trend?
Wait - Weren't these the people that were singin "Here Comes the Sun" at the Spanish Unemployment offices awhile back? I guess the Unemployed can only be pacified by bad Beatles songs for so long....
That's what happens when u give the chicks the vote!
Need a website to track what this growing list. A banker and politican deadpool, if you will.
Sigh .... one cannot create good with evil acts.
... it makes one wonder about the real circumstances. Clearly the polce and media are not to be believed.
A victory for feminism
Was it murder or self-defense?
Are thieves in the night to be feared less than bureaucrats in the daytime?
Personal vendetta as in 'your policies led me to lose my house, job and pension'?
Sorry to go off-thread here, but I figure this is as good a thread as any to put forward my solution to the Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria.
These assholes want to exchange the girls they kidnapped for Boko Haram prisoners held by the government. OK. So just infect those prisoners with the Ebola virus prior to dropping them off in the middle of the Boko Haram camps and sit back and wait for nature to take its course.
This even has palusible deniability. Hey - there's an epidemic in the region. Too fucking bad. Enjoy those 72 virgins in heaven boys.
Yeah, a bit of OT but what the heck. You'd need to make sure that they don't pull the same trick. Hopefully they don't read ZH.
Purely a distraction...Move along
Ah. Kirk...
Out heere in West Hollywoood, the social trend for the trendy sometimes calls for a wine enema. It's a rellly big rush.
Come on Enda Kenny, come on Enda Kenny.....
The daughter of the woman who shot the politician worked for the provincial council but was recently fired. Her father is a police chief somewhere.
The media is working hard covering this thing, but by the pipeline thing looks a bit more weird:
The dead woman had an affair with the husband of the killer (a cop). Is supected that the killer knew it, but, as their daughter had a good work, and the start of a political career inside the same party, she didn't say a word.
But, some years ago, the affair ended, and the dead woman fired the daughter of the cop and the killer, with a vegeance, and frustrate the political ambitions of the daughter. The daughter received a good indemnization (yeah, in spain people get money for unlawful firing), but after a few years in the tribunals, she had to return it, and lost their house.
The last part of the procedings was a few days ago. The daughter was condemned to return 12K€, that she didn't had, in a very vengeful way.
So, looks like this had a bit of love affair gone bad, jealously, and political vendetta.
First news of a cop shot dead in Texas and now this. This is turning out to be a great day. Three's a charm, here's hoping some bankster falls on a nailgun before midnight.
What's funny in all this; the old lady that made the shooting was a hell of a shot. One bullet, twelve vacances in goverment.
Hell, ten like her, and the unocuppied problem in Spain is solved.
Well... all problems would be solved that way, really.
