Crime, Safety, and the Police

Don't we have a couple of guys who like BBFS and a couple of Covid deniers who are willing to explore the zona norte and tell us what is like at ground zero?

Go for the ASS EATERS. Those guys have nothing to lose.

On Saturday, Tijuana was a ghost town as one of my favorite described it. It was similar to the Covid lockdown except for the sounds of sirens and car fires. As far as I know the zona norte was closed down. I cannot recall the last time the zona norte was closed down, even during the height of the cartel wars back in the day (about 10 years ago or so) when several hundred people were kidnapped and tortured to death, and triggered a mass exodus of middle class Mexicans to Chula Vista. Back then I had to take a 357 with me as a good luck charm. Fuck, now most of the major clubs have metal detectors.

Sunday morning, the shelter in place order is still in effect. But the curfew was supposed to end per the original Cartel warnings. So which of you guys are willing to do the recon and report back? Don't we have a couple of guys who like BBFS and a couple of Covid deniers who are willing to explore the zona norte and tell us what is like at ground zero?

It's interesting to read all of this news of the violence.

Just the last few weeks the LA Times the New York Times both were running stories on how so many Americans who are remote working digital nomads were living in Mexico and enjoying the lower costs of living.

This is a reminder that nothing is free. You just pay another way. Wonder how those articles would read today.

I feel so bad for the innocent people of Mexico having to deal with this nonsense. They deserve better.

Remember, the activity in Tijuana setting cars or buildings on fire is Mostly Peaceful Protesting! Just like in Portland or Seattle or Minneapolis during the BLM riots. Oops Mostly Peaceful Protesting! Nothing to worry about!

If you feel danger from cartel dudes, yell out "Cartel Lives Matter!" Then you'll be in like Flynn! LOL.

My girl that lives in ssid the alley was closed in the zona. ? Was also wondering if the ratero's have been more active since the cartel violence started? If anyone has any more recent news please post immediately?

Yeah, that was the son of El Chapo, who the president of Mexico actually ordered released a short while later due to being outgunned by cartel forces. Crazy. Imagine something like that happening in the USA.

Not hard to imagine. USA has a lot violence, I watched looters blow up a dozen cars in NYC the news didn't mention it because it didn't fit their narrative a few years ago. . all. Governments run scared. Like the school. Shooter cops being afraid to go into the classroom. Its why cops hang out by the thousands on USA beaches to watch for crime but stay out of the ghetto.

Considering the economic consequences and the inability of Mexico to stop this maybe negotiations with the cartels wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe the cartel arm of the Mexican Political system could become a Leftist People Party and balance the status quo.

Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, seem to make it work for them. Albeit with a few kinks along the way.

Why fight when you can join? I don't see other alternatives at this point. That opportunity (if there was one) has been long gone. The cartels are as ENDEMIC to Mexico as is Covid at this point.

Just thinking outside the box.

The president doesn't want that cartel smoke. Like you said, the cartel is already running mexico. Cartel is the government. I would. Exoect these dudes to quietly get released from jail to satisfy the request of the cartel wing of Mexican government.

Administrators of 'Tijuana 664' Facebook page shot and killed by: Salvador Rivera.

TIJUANA (Border Report) — The two men who ran a Facebook page known as "Tijuana 664" were murdered Saturday night outside the home they shared in the Tijuana neighborhood of Cañóand El Rubí.

Both men were shot and killed, according to Baja California state investigators, who identified the victims only by their first names: Sergio, 40, and Mario, 43.

Their Facebook postings were anonymous, and the entries often included gossip, rumors and copies of stories from sources within mainstream media.

And they were known for posting gory details of violent crimes in Tijuana.

Neither Sergio nor Mario were considered journalists and reporters south of the border said they did not take their Facebook page seriously.

"These kinds of pages, and the people behind them, are putting us at risk," Sonia de Anda told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

De Anda is a veteran reporter in Tijuana who runs the news site Esquina 32.

Investigators believe the victims were murdered because they were publishing information about drug cartels.

They say no one has been arrested in connection with the murders.

Tijuana 664 had about 17,000 followers on Facebook; 664 is Tijuana's telephone area code in Mexico.

We face the following potential risks in Tijuana:

1. Random acts of violence on civilians.

2. A increase of rattero muggings.

3. Increase of police shakedowns.

It is important that we al extra caution & report as soon as possible. ! This one girl. Tod me that the Zona is shut down till Sunday. !! I was thinking of visiting the Zona until I heard about this. !! Was looking forward to Another great BJ today.

Friday night, they torched a mini-SUV on the bridge that the HK limo usually takes to the border at about 7 pm. The smoldering thing was still sitting there on the bridge at 10 pm when I went by. They also torched another in a location where there was a street sign to Plaza Rio / border. This one was on Tijuana TV. The Sentri line back to the border was the longest I have ever seen. And I have never seen so many cars with Mexico plates crossing the border before. I think all Mexicans with a passport scrambled their asses to get out of Tijuana just in case this terrorism act blows up into a hot shooting war like in the past.

And they torched another car by the soccer stadium. So this morning, I contacted a couple of favorites but they were too scared to come to work. Anyone knows the status of the bars as of Saturday?

It is shitty writing, but it seems that the Cartel will lift the curfew 3 a Sunday. So that is Saturday-Sunday? Or is it Sunday-Monday?
