[QUITO, Aug 10 (Reuters) -
The assassination of Ecuadorean presidential candidate
Fernando Villavicencio less than two weeks
before the election has sent shockwaves
through the South American country,
leading some rivals to
suspend campaigning and bringing
the issue of rising violence to the foreground.
Villavicencio, a vocal critic of corruption
and organized crime, was killed on Wednesday
during an evening campaign
event in northern Quito.

A suspect in the crime later died of injuries sustained
in a shoot-out and six others have
so far been arrested,
the attorney general's office said.
Nine people, including a candidate
for the legislature and two police officers,
were injured, it added.
President Guillermo Lasso said the crime
was clearly an attempt to sabotage
the election,
but that voting would go ahead as planned
on Aug. 20, albeit amid a national state of emergency,
with the military mobilized to guarantee security.]

This is what the globalists do if you dare to challenge them and their hold on power. They're mobsters.

Thankfully they're not gonna get our uncle Donnie. He's got the military protecting him.
