Crime, Safety, and the Police

Looks like a chica set him up to get kidnapped. The guy was a firefighter from LA and had a second home in Rosarito.

"The victim agreed to meet with a woman we know today is called Fanny 'N'. She identified herself to Aguilar as Monserrat," said Hiram Sanchez, Attorney General of Baja California. "he somehow managed to get rid of his captors, tried to run, and as he ran they shoot and injure him and put him in the van. ".

+ that Solo and thank you so much for your recognition of Naval Aviation! The Air "Farce" a very nobel endeavor however they can not land on small rolling pitching sea decks LOL.

I wanted to fly fighter jets or even a big cargo plane but my eyes were too bad so they made me a Disbursing Officer (Disbo) in charge of the payroll. I was the last Disbo of that ship taking it from Yokosuka Japan back to San Diego for de-commissioning. It was an 8 day transit across the Pacific and every chance I had I went up to the flight deck to watch those F / A-18's takeoff and land for their final times from Midway. My predecessor during Gulf War One had to fly in a COD (C-2) into Bahrain to pickup huge $$ for the ship and landed on that flight deck. Amazing!

Yet it wasn't that tour that introduced me to TJ. When I was with the Bees during training in SDO a crabby CWO2 took me to Manhattans. Before then my visits to TJ I only encountered the old overweight hos at the bars on the way in. He introduced me to hot flaka young chicas! It changed me forever for much much the better.

Manhattan very close to HK the next block east about half way down. Shows as a hotel still open. Haven't been there at night but walked by a few times since 2014.

The aircraft carrier Midway with her illustrious war history in WWII and Vietnam is docked in San Diego harbor, a piece of valiant memory recommended for all bros who visit the area.

I took a tour of the Midway. The flight deck is tiny. I hate to have to slam a screaming jet down onto that deck at night. There are old war jets parked on that deck for display. The attack planes F4, A5, A6, A7 are huge. The A4 that Sen John McCain got shot down in is tiny and looks funny on its tall legs. They still hang a single engine prop plane L-19 with Vietnam AF markings on the ceiling of the hangar. Reportedly a VNAF lieutenant landed the single-seat plane on the flight deck with his wife and 6 kids in its belly in 1975 when South VN fell apart.

My neighbor was a F / A 18 pilot. He went on deployment 6-8 months at sea each time, then a few months off at SD home base. His 2 young daughters were sweet but felt sad and lost without a father. When the US goes to war again, I want to fly planes, not for US Navy, but for the US Airforce, stationed in Tijuana Municipal Airport hehe.

Are you an ex Navy man? The Navy lets you stay in housing on base? Your ass would be guarded and protected 24/7 by MPs. Damn good deal hehe.

Why don't you want to stay in La Zona where you can drink like a sailor, ogle hot girls, squeeze their boobs, grope their sexy crotches and smell their fragrant pussies 24/7?

Yes sir! Had a tour on Midway Magic before it was a museum and with the Seabees up in Port Hueneme.

I usually get a day room in Cascadas, Adelita's hotel or maybe try Ibiza this time. I don't like to stay down there overnight as I don't party 24/7 and want to stay incognito. Go in, enjoy and get back across the border each night. Navy base at 32nd street was a good deal for me and I could walk right to trolley line usually no issues with homeless around the base. But they raised their prices to about same as hotels on the outside and rooms like 50's vintage. Not bad just felt like I was overpaying.

This going to be a great trip I know in just over 2 weeks and getting in "under the wire" if we have any more shutdowns USA Or MEX. Cases rising but would take health experts a month to assess then shut down again.

Whoa that * was crazy. Hope the popos mess him up good Solo.

Had negative experiences in the-T San Diego the last trip. Was broad daylight 12 PM on a weekday and this homeless out of nowhere sticks his big phuckin hand right in front my face. Not only was I startled but just a bit too close. I yelled at him from a distance and he back to me like F you this and F you that. I was afraid he would attack me or something right there in nice area the-T SDO. But my relation with SDO goes back to mid 80's when in the Navy and seeing lots of crazy shit back then too.

This next trip to Tijuana in 2 weeks! I am staying in I. B. To be close to the border and out of downtown. I've stayed d-T too much, P-b, the 32nd street naval station with rooms now same $ as off base.

I pulled the trigger tonight on airfare, Southwest seats for my date and $ going fast. Was considering Juarez but airfare slightly more for half the distance from Dallas.

Sat 2PM I was driving to La Zona with 2 other bros when the light turned green on Negrete.

A bearded, filthy, crazed hobo was crossing the street at that busy intersection, blocking our way. Lots of cars were waiting in traffic. I got pissed off and blew the horn at him. He turned around, swung his long stick at the car. Making a loud thump. I stopped to take a good look at him; he was chasing after us, damn stupid crazy hobo needed a good lesson for attacking us. I told the bros I would file a police report.

Found a policia patrol car in front of hotel Hacienda de Santiago on Coahuila. I explained to him what happened. He apologized profusely for not speaking enough English but understood what happened and corrected me on the location of the crime. My wingman speaks perfect Spanish, further described the guy and his transgression.

The hit wiped the paint in a small spot on the quarter panel but did not make a dent. The same hit could cause serious injuries to a person. The cop was polite and professional. He said he would send an unit to the location to check out this guy. The hobo may be crazy enough to swing his stick at policia and get a few bullets in his torso. It was a good opportunity for cooperation with TJPD to reduce violent crimes hehe.

Apparently some law enforcement member are involved in kidnapping in Baja / Tijuana. I am not to surprised this is happening. With the shakedowns and the way the police ignore the drug dealers on the street.

HSBC is a very shady Hong Kong bank, well-known for laundering money for criminals worldwide, also to hide money for top Chinese Communists to steal from people and rape young girls. They were hit with $2. 5 billion fine by US Treasury a few years back. HSBC has a large and fancy branch on Revo corner Calle 2, must be to launder Cartels' money. I hope the cartels figure out HSBC has been short changing them and send a few guys to visit with their AK 47's.

Some of the ATMs along the west side of Constitucion provide a very good exchange rate. I'm talking about the Centro area, not la Zona.

It is unfortunate, but the Mexican govt seem only interested in stopping the drug gangs. Mexico lits the street drug dealers sell freely. They openly keep asking people if they want to buy drugs in the Zona. The drug users are not the traditional peeple we think of as using dope. They are from all age groups in Tijuana. The drug addiction rate in Mexico city in 2008 was roughly between 15.2%-17%. The worst thing is that the police are only making the occasional stop so that they can extract a bribe.

The 078 number did not work for me. So called Tmobiile and they told me that the 078 number is considered to a 800 number so you cannot dial it from their network.

Dcrist.

Tijuana hangs a huge banner over the return car lanes with a 800 phone number for any complaint or comment. I called and it was never answered.

I called Tijuana's Internal Affairs and District Attorney offices. They told me I had go to city hall and sign written complaints.

Thanks for posting this Tijuana number. When confronted or accused by policia, insist you don't understand them and want them to call in their sergeants or Policia Tourista, or call this Tijuana number. That usually ends their bullshit.

One other number I can pass along. I have not verified that this is still active. But if your carrier does not connect you using 078, try 664 438 9334. That is a local tourist help number. Again, not sure it is still active.

I have had my share of police thefts in Tijuana over the years.
