Fugitive U.S. marshal found dead in Mexico

A U.S. marshal, accused for stealing government weapons, was found shot dead in Mexico on Wednesday. Deputy Bustamante had been declared a fugitive since March 18th when he failed to show up to trail in El Paso, Texas. Bustamante was found dead on Wednesday with several traumas to the head including a gunshot. The owner of a pawnshop called to report that a government shotgun had been sold to him. The Deputy was placed on modified duty status after being accused for stealing government property. So far there is no news on who could have shot him.

It really seems that there are no honestly people in the world anymore. The ones that are supposed to protect us are busy doing their own shady things for whatever reasons. It makes you wonder just how many others are stealing government property and selling it on the streets or shipping it to other countries. This aids in the problem of arms trafficking and what not. It’s hard to get that under control when we continue to hear how government officials are stealing guns among other things.

I don't think that in the past there were to many honest people to begin with, this is not a new problem, there have always been and always will be government officials like this.

I know that this is just one marshall that did this but this really makes me question our government and our security. Serve and Protect is the motto but it seems to me that a lot of people who work for the government just do it for themselves.
