Posts: 3194FWIW, there are reports that the cops' story about tire robbing is BS. Some suspect this was another murder due to mistaken identity. One cartel rubbing out suspected members of another cartel. I think the US needs to come down like the wrath of God on a few of these cartels. There needs to be some pretty harsh penalties for killing or harming innocent tourists.

Posts: 2421You guys should stay in the city as much as possible when in Mexico because cops stay in the city. The further from the city you go the less likely of security. It's like that across Mexico whether it's Mexico City or Tijuana. Most of the slaughter is outside the cities. The Mormon ambush, the student massacre. Shit usually happens on roads between big cities. If you are crazy enough to travel out of the city, take a backup with you and a couple of mags. And no. It's not cartel vs cartel only. That is a lot of wishful thinking. Good luck.

I don't think it's a reason not to visit Tijuana.

Also Tijuana is having a huge increase in vehicle theft so if you drive over get insurance not only in case of an accident but for the possibility of theft.

The family was able to use the GPS of one of the victims to find the location of the suspects who were dumb and kept it.

My point was that these criminals do dangerous, violent, stupid things and that if God forbid it did happen (if) then I wouldn't be surprised because worse things have happened in Mexico. That's not the same thing as saying "I suspect HK Club will be sprayed down with bullets". I don't "suspect" that will happen. But if it does, I wouldn't be surprised. Again, far worse things have happened. So, why couldn't that? That was my view of it then, and it's the same now. So stop twisting my words. Nobody said for sure it's going to happen (how could anybody really know that), but if it does then plenty of us here won't be surprised.
Further, I don't "enjoy" pointing out things that happen in Mexico or anyplace else LOL! But, like others here, I do find high profile cases to be interesting to talk about, and Mexico has a lot of those that show up in both the national and international news. Just like the three surfers who turned up dead. I nor anybody else needs to go looking for anything. It's just there and people find those stories to be interesting, especially because tourism in Mexico is high among countries in the world. I don't "have it out" for Mexico or any other place. The stories are the stories, and the facts are the facts (no "alternative facts" here). If you don't like it, then go complain to CNN, NBC, The Guardian, or whoever. They report it. And we talk about it because we find it interesting.
I think it's pretty rich coming from you talking about having an "intelligent" conversation when, like the man says, you spend far too much time here bullying and belittling and attacking other people who post in these threads who may have some thought (s) about Mexico that differ from yours. All I did was post about a super high profile news story, and here you come bashing me for allegedly trying to bash your beloved Mexico. That was not my goal or intent, and I was doing no such thing! If there was a similar story coming out of Brazil or Colombia, then I would not have hesitated to post the exact same thing. So get off my dick bro! If you want to have an intelligent conversation, then how about you lead with something other than off base accusations and misguided vitriol?
And lastly, I did monger in Tijuana once, and I had a good time. However I chose not to return, not because I thought it was too dangerous and that I would be killed in a hail of bullets (rolling eyes) while slapping some plump, round, Mexicana culo in the HK Club, but because I felt there are far superior destinations around the world that appeal much better to my prurient interests:
