Mexican politician Olga Machorro wants to tackle homelessness by killing all homeless people
Olga Guiterrez Machorro

A Mexican councillor has got into a spot of bother after suggesting homeless people should be culled by lethal injection.

Olga Guiterrez Machorro"s suggestion for the town of Tecamachalco, Puebla, was met with anger.

She said: ‘Yes they"re a little crazy, but they"re harmless. Which is why I think to myself wouldn"t it be kinder to just give them a lethal injection?"

She"s since apologised, adding that she didn"t think the idea would create such outrage.

In a twist of irony, Machorro is actually the chairman of the Commission for Vulnerable Groups for the council.

Her comments were recorded and published by a local newspaper. She also claimed that some homeless people were being taken to a psychiatric hospital before being left in the middle of a motorway to be run over.

 

 

She"s now coming up with another solution to the problem.
