Friends and family attended the funeral of armed civilian defense leader Hipolito Mora and two of his bodyguards in La Ruana, Mexico, and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, referred to by some as the Trump of South America, was barred from running for office again until 2030 after a panel of judges concluded that he abused his power and cast unfounded doubts on the country’s electronic voting system.

Residents of La Ruana, located in the torrid agricultural belt of western Michoacan state, did turn out by the hundreds Saturday for the funeral.

The Michoacan state prosecutors’ office said unidentified gunmen cut off his SUV and his bodyguards’ pickup truck on a street in La Ruana, Mora’s hometown, then riddled Mora’s vehicle with bullets and then set it on fire.

Back in La Ruana, small knots of people, perhaps 50 in all, gathered quietly on the dirt road outside the home where Mora’s coffin lay, surrounded by candles and religious imagery.

The security forces at the base in La Ruana fought to keep the hyper-violent Jalisco New Generation cartel from entering but did nothing against the homegrown Viagras as they extorted locals and taxed everything from tortillas to soft drinks and beer, suffocating local business, the grieving brother alleged.
