20-year-old woman new Mexican police chief

Marisol Valles Garcia, a 20-year-old criminology major, is the new police chief in Guadalupe, Mexico; she was the only applicant. Located near Ciudad Juarez, one of the hot spots of the drug war, the town’s mayor was killed in June.  Even if some of her drive to do this is due to youthful naivete, serious props are in order for the spine she’s showing.

Don’t read the comments unless you want to see a bunch of people talk about how doomed she is.
