Fast and Furious billboard draws fire

CLOVIS, N.M. (KRQE) - A controversial billboard in Clovis is causing a lot of talk about possible racial wording.

The message advertises the website MurderedMexicans.org.

The man behind the board, Charles Abernathy of Odessa, Texas, says it's a grassroots effort to hold those responsible for the Fast and Furious fiasco. During what was supposed to be a sting operation federal agents lost track of weapons being illegally ship to Mexico.

Some of those guns were later recovered at crime scenes including the killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Abernathy says he chose Clovis to advertise because he wants people to be aware of this operation outside of Texas.
