Stupid Shit in Tijuana

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;2551097]Sorry to say this but you sound very ignorant. You contribute to the shithole attitude. You should leave everything and never set foot on American soil again and have your US citizenship flushed down a Tijuana toilet.[/QUOTE]Bring it home MongerHunger. Totally agree. I got to tell you all, as much as I enjoy going to Tijuana and traveling around Mexico, I feel a sense of relief and comfort every single time I cross back to the good ole USA from visiting Mexico. Sure, we are not a perfect country, but we are still the greatest country on Earth. A couple of months ago, when visiting a friend in Nuevo Laredo, the taxi I was riding in was stopped at a checkpoint with what looked like 12 soldiers. I made a comment to the driver about being stopped by the military to be checked. He said, no my friend, these are narcos! They were all toting AR15's and AK47's and stopping and robbing motorists of cash. Lucky for me, they knew the taxi driver and waved us through. During this same trip, when traveling in a taxi near downtown Nuevo Laredo, I spotted at least 4 pickup trucks going the other way. All with mounted 50 calibre machine guns and their cartel logo name on the doors of the truck. I though to myself, this shit would never happen in America. Later that evening in the zona de tolerencia (Coahuila of Nuevo Laredo) a patron was pulled out of a bar I have been to many times and executed. Nothing but lawlessness and impunity. I will take the good ole USA any day!

[QUOTE=SpeedToys;2551296]Just saying, no you don't. The US Business landscape has shifted from ignoring liability, to grasping it. Remote workers on insecure home networks (at best) have changed the landscape and how departments think about things.

More and more insurance policies wrap around Infosec issues, and ask for Infosec solutions that are practicable.

You being stuck thinking that gathering / var / syslog data is "research" is dating what you think you know. And that it takes 'work' to use the data.

Not that you don't know. It's just not that decade anymore.

I work in web-scale data storage Infosec, and my brother in law has two black badges for DefCon and works for a private company that does government white hat work.

It's not a "slap it on the table". Just I have an eye and ear to how the entire business landscape has shifted in mostly 5 yrs from ransomware, and more significantly the last year from the instant shift to WFH security.

Ignorance stings. Departments have learned this.[/QUOTE]With PR and reputation management being at the forefront more than ever, you have no idea how much due diligence involving HR professionals and lawyers goes into even looking at someone for infosec violations let alone terming someone, especially in the republic of California. You can talk as much tech as you want but it still requires people to investigate infosec violations to lock people down on their story vs seeing something you didn't consider as an employer for the first time in their EEOC charge, and a seemingly endless sea of term approvers depending on the subject employee's level. You work in tech and most of the tech guys I know abhor HR and lawyers, but they are and will always be necessary evils. You almost have to be perfect as an employer to avoid paying out some settlement money in the fucked up cesspool of California, which has the savviest workforce in the world when it comes to complaints against employers. BTW. I am a big fan of tech people.

Ripping off drugs and money from the Sinaloa Cartel: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

"A North Carolina Spanish teacher and coach reportedly had a secret life and was killed during a shootout with a drug cartel last week, according to the police.

Harris, the head coach for his school's men's basketball and track team, was attempting to steal drugs and money from the cartel in a mobile home park in.

Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said Barney Harris along with a friend, Steven Alexander Stewart, shot and killed an 18-year-old member of the Sinaloa New Generation Cartel, which led to a shootout with other cartel members, local outlet WSOC-TV reported."

Comments A few headlines glorify this teacher. But bottom line is, he, along with his felon buddy, was attempting to steal illegal drugs so he could profit from selling those same drugs illegally to the sisters and brothers and parents of the kids who 'adored' him.

Was attempting to steal drugs and money from the cartel in a mobile home park. I've seen that movie, it never turns out well.

We are a nation of good ideas, but ripping off a drug cartel is not among the best of ideas. Unless you want to be a Darwin Award winner. . .

My guess is the morgue in Tijuana is full of dudes who pissed off the local cartels. Ripping off a cartel or getting involved in drugs is probably one of the fastest ways to visit the Tijuana morgue / jail. . . Should go without saying, but posting these stories might help a reader from making a fatal mistake. . . Saw one young American guy with saggy pants (Prison / rapper wannabe) and a bad "tough guy" attitude two days ago, was yelling in English at the HK employee on the south HK elevator not to talk on his cell phone in Spanish. Struck me as just the type of 'Ugly American" who would try something this stupid.

As bad as Tijuana is (and it's pretty bad), Tamaulipas (Texas border) is almost completely out of control. It's a Mad Max movie, where mercenary warlords control everything.

I know what you mean about the beautiful feeling you get when crossing back to the US. Every time I arrive to the beautiful, clean, orderly, well organized, safe city of San Diego I take a deep breath of the beautiful clean air and I hear the song in my head "Life Is But A Dream" by The Harptones. It's like a satisfying sense of relief and euphoria I get any time I enter the United States.

In my last post I mentioned the song Life Is But A Dream by The Harptones. That was a mistake. I meant to say the song "Sh-Boom" by The Crew-Cuts. Sorry about the confusion.

You 're seriously telling us that you cannot spot the bullshit?

Major Mexican cartels, Sinaloa, CJNG, have agents do distribution of drugs to sellers in US and Canada's major cities, LA, Seattle, Chicago, NY, DC, Calgary, Toronto to name a few.

The US has captured and prosecuted dozens of cartels' members in the US, some had worked for El Chapo and El Mencho.

ClunkerFan is busy combing her hair, looking at herself (in the mirror, complimenting herself that she's the cutest one in La Zona Hehe.

Chickenshit.

[QUOTE=BabeMagnet;2551842]You still here, boy?[/QUOTE]I am. I tune in every day to see what new fantasy or utter bilge you spew. It's quite entertaining. Let's see.

You used to drive a lot, but got tired of being pulled over and paying the "$80 Standard Mordida. " So you stopped driving. Yet you had figured out that to stop paying the "$80 Standard Mordida" all you had to do was to show the cops nice shiny things, like knives, and they'd confiscate them and leave you and your money alone. But no explanation as to why you didn't just start driving around with a trunkful of knives, which would have to be a lot cheaper than paying the "$80 Standard Mordida" every time you were stopped and you wouldn't have had to give up your wheels.

You live "at the beach" yet don't drive. OK, that's somewhat believable, although it's got to be a PITA these days with fewer Ubers around. I'm not sure you're saving any money. Surely the occasional "$80 Standard Mordida" would be cheaper than paying constantly for taxis and Ubers every time you wanted to leave your house "at the beach. " But, your money and your time.

You don't go to the bars in the ZN, yet you are an expert at all things ZN. Fair enough. There's room for one more LARPer on the board, I suppose. God knows there are plenty of them playing at being an epidemiologist.

You live "at the beach" but have no documentation to that effect. To get back home you have to walk across the border because you can't afford to drive and pay the "$80 Standard Mordida. " Yet, even though you're breaking the law, instead of trying to keep a low profile you swagger up to the border agents, tell them exactly what it is, why it is, how it is, and they treat you with the utmost deference.

So you see, this shit just gets better and better. I'm waiting for your TR where you met with AMLO and hashed out all the problems of working girls in the Zona.

Thanks again for the endless entertainment.

It's highly instructive, PhlimPlam, that you did not cite a single quote to substantiate your bullshit, because--you can't. So, here's your homework assignment. Go through all my prior posts and find something, anything, to corroborate anything you just posted. Now, I realize you'll have to enlist mommy's help because your reading comprehension is--nonexistent. But she said she'll be more than happy to help. Anything to keep you from running around the basement night and day, trying to screw the cat.
