as horrified witnesses watched, according to newspaper El Universal.
They described how she begged for her child to be left alone and then appeared to get into her abductors’ car willingly.
The little girl was left wailing as her mother was driven away on Monday November 12.
For the next week, her frantic family waited by the phone for a ransom call that never came.
Gorrostieta’s body – stabbed, burned, battered and bound at wrist and
ankle – would finally be found eight days on dumped by a roadside in San
Juan Tararameo, Cuitzeo Township.
She left behind her daughter and two sons as well as her second husband Nereo Delgado Patinoran.
Hailed as a heroine of the 21st century, her death has prompted much soul-searching in a country ravaged by violence.
The decision to withdraw her security team in November last year and
her police escort in January has come under particular scrutiny. Someone may have set her up in the Mexican government, so they can get to her, someone may have received a bag of money from the cartels to drop her security.
Gorrostieta was elected as mayor of Tiquicheo, a rural district in Michoacan, west of Mexico City, in 2008.
Almost immediately, she received threats. The first assassination
attempt came in October 2009 when the car she was travelling in with her
first husband Jose Sanchez came under fire from gunmen in the town of
El Limone. The attack claimed his life but Gorrostieta lived.
She battled back from her injuries in the face of overwhelming tragedy, but she was not destined to know peace.
The next attempt on her life was just three months later, when an
masked group carrying assault rifles ambushed her on the road between
Michoacan and Guerreo state. The van she was traveling in was peppered
by 30 bullets. She was hit three times.
This time her wounds were more severe, leaving multiple scars and
forcing her to wear a colostomy bag.
But with unimaginable courage and despite being a marked woman she remained defiant to the very end. God bless this women, she is one the bravest women the world has ever known.

Of course I do think the cartels need to be brought under control, I think it's our side of the border we need to be focusing on. I feel for the Mexican citizens who are having to deal with this level of violence and corruption, but Mexico needs to fix it's own problems. We just need to make sure they stop bleeding into our nation.
Step 1 bring our foreign based troops home
Step 2 secure our borders against the cartels with them
Step 3 offer Mexico assistance if it is needed
Also, legalizing drugs in the USA could go a long way toward defunding these cartels while at the same time providing tax revenue for our country.

US needs to take care and fix our business at home first, before helping another country. Once that's done, then maybe we can stick our noises in other countries affairs.
If we fight wars 10s of thousands of miles away, defending people who do not want us there, why not help a bordering country that obviously cannot deal? If America does not do something now, it will eventually spill over into the bordering towns if it hasn't already. Besides these people make their money here, we should either legalize the drugs or fight the drug war more effectively, and if it means bringing to them then so be it, we can use drones. I am reading all of you, how about a shout out to this women, would any of you do what this women tried to do?
