Last month, I went to a lawless border town to report on gangs seizing control of the pesticide trade. It was a dangerous assignment, so I hired a fixer. His name was Leo Veras. On Wednesday, in front of his family, he was murdered. This is what I know.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/he-showed-me-a-lawless-border-town-then-masked-gunmen-killed-him-in-front-of-his-family/2020/02/14/53693762-4eb5-11ea-967b-e074d302c7d4_story.html …

Hey Ponboard, have YOU ever lived in a war zone? That’s basically what the border town is. You need “fixer” to have your back who knows the area and has local connections.

But this person was also a journalist...

I was startled by that too, when I read his further posts in the thread. It was clear wording meant to cast this man in a certain light and get more views. :( He deserved better than that.
