Last week Morrissey claimed that he was "delighted" to see a bull gore a "serial killer" matador in Mexico City.

The former Smiths frontman dedicated an entire blog post to the incident called “The shame of beloved Mexico” which was published via his fan site True to You last week.

"I felt delighted this week to see serial killer Karla de los Angeles justifiably gored in a bullring in Mexico City against her largely defenseless opponent," he wrote.
