Shocking photos. RudyG doesn't hold a candle to this young female Mexican mayor.

Courage doesn't begin to describe Mayor Maria Santos Gorrostieta who has survived two assassination attempts by criminal gangs in Mexico. Despite her husband being killed during the first attempt, her needing a colostomy bag and in constant pain after the second attack she will not give up.

The photos reveal how badly the attacks have multiliated her body.

I stand in awe in her unwavering courage.

As the mayor of the town of Tiquicheo, she has become a key target for drug gangs who have turned the country into a grotesquely violent narco-state.

But despite being scarred physically and mentally by the attacks, the extraordinarily brave Mrs Gorrostieta remains defiant.

That bar was pretty damn low.

This woman has true bravery.

So sad to see this monstrous behavior.
