Crime, Safety, and the Police

[RikyMichaels7]

Because the name of this thread is Crime, Safety, and the Police. That's why! And there's no "fear mongering" in sharing and discussing the facts as presented in the news about a current case in Mexico. It would appear that a few others here are also interested in the same story. If you aren't, then why ask why? Just keep it moving and scroll right along past it if you want to keep your eyes and ears closed to it then. Nobody here cares one way or the other. Que sera, sera! I have never said or done anything here on the level of some trying to fear monger about Colombia at every turn. That's for damn sure! Not even close.

You are exactly correct Cane. This guy seems to think that he is control of all posts on this board and is always the first to belittle or bully someone if their posts do not match his opinions.

Nobody shpuld be going to mexixo unless they are willing to give their crap up when asked for it. And even if you do, but your buddy refuses everyone gets killed. Keep in mind you are in the murder capital of the world, the chances of someone killing you and going to jail for it is zero, and the amount of killers walking around doing cartel hired killings is very high. In other words they have killed before it gets easier they say. So if gringo won't give his shit up he's gona get shot. It's a awful idea to go to Mexico in a newish pickeup truck, and then go I to remote areas where you can be shot and burned with no witnesses. Tske a beater to Mexico if going into remote areas and always give your shit up. Be happy to give it up. A thing else may cause death.

Well if you haven't noticed the Crime thread is inside the Tijuana section so maybe it had to do with the crime and safety of Tijuana not all of Mexico. Especially since Ensenada has its own section which would be the best area for this report IMO. Since it has nothing to do with guys visiting Mexico for sex I'm not sure if it belongs here at all but as you stated others enjoy commenting about it because people like to gossip and talk about other things that have nothing to do with what happened to these individuals just speculate on why they were killed.

I called you out for fear mongering because you have done it in the past in regards to Tijuana and Mexico in general and I don't know why you enjoy pointing out things that happen in a country or place that you don't even visit for mongering. You enjoy Brazil but you don't put the same warnings out on the Brazil page each time a tourist is killed in that country the way you do for Mexico. You even called guys on that board "paranoid" for making an issue about Brazil asking for bank info to get a Visa. So when it's a place you enjoy visiting and have insight about and try to let others know that it's not something to be worried about is the same way I defend and point out things in regards to Tijuana and especially HK.

Remember back when HK had some issues and you suspected that HK could get sprayed with bullets. I and others that know much more about Tijuana and HK responded that HK was the safest place to be and wouldn't be sprayed with bullets.

Also you posted an article about some hotel in Mexico where some people died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Again nothing to do with mongering just a story about tourists in Mexico dying. That is why I say you like to fear monger when it comes to Mexico. Why you like this I have no idea but as a person who has visited many different areas of Mexico and lived in Tijuana for many years with no problems I will defend it when I feel people are making something out of nothing. Is Mexico dangerous. Yes. So are many places including the US so no matter where you go you need to be careful.

On the last part of my comment I also suggested that if you want to fear monger you should post on articles that are in the Tijuana news on all the killings that happen in that city since it would be more relevant to Tijuana. I guess since it's Mexicans dying or migrants from other countries you don't care.

BTW thanks for the private message you sent me. It just proves how weak minded you are and you are unable to see your biases and aren't looking to have an intelligent conversation about this issue.

I bought pen taser and attached a leash to it. I like it because it is easy to carry and take out. The other good thing is you can use it scare off the bandito's.

Thank you Baxter for this info. Always have to be vigilant.

I got pick pocketed today for the first time in San Jose Centro around 130 pm. Thank God she did not harm me but really surprised me. I was in Calle 6 red zone trying to find the huge low end brothel. I walked by it and continued a little further to see if anything else interesting passing by numerous hos outside other establishments. Passed by this one larger woman without several front teeth and she tried to slow me. I made it by her the first time however when I turned around to head back she slowed me down enough to rub my chest and so quick her hand in my right front pocket. At first I tried to pull her hand out but she already got hold of my plastic sandwich bag of smaller bills. The sidewalk was narrow and perhaps and man accomplice to help block + traffic in the street so I stuck. Next time I go into more risk zones taking pepper spray and martial arts cane.

They killed them for what? Trying to fight back? Not making ransom payment?

I know you like to fear monger about Tijuana but to bring up a story about what happened to some surfers over 100 miles from Tijuana is really pathetic. Unless you have some inside information on how they where drinking in HK and where followed past Ensenada to be killed makes me wonder what this has to do with going to the Zona. If you really want to fear monger I'd suggest reading the local Tijuana news and posting that. Or tell us a country in the world that has never had a tourist killed.

It is always important to keep you guard up Mexico. When I visit Tijuana I always look to see who is behind me. The othe thing to remember is that is many of the people that live in Zona live from day to day existence. The girl I see is changing hotels all the time. I am fortunate that she is a very nice and honest person. So many of them are extremely desperate & will do almost anything to survive.

That, and in out hobby the thought of being lured by a chica to meet up outside the zona. Temptation has a may of seeing us put our guard down. I do remember the story of a LOS Angeles fire fighter lured to meet up with a chica, then set up and found dead. Also very recently read a story about a guy who had been seeing a girl for a year or so. She asked to be taken to a friends place instead of home he was ambushed. At the drop off point he was robbed of everything including car luckily he did escape with his life. If you ever meet up with a chica outside the zona make sure its on your terms. Drugs create crazy desperation in people.

There is a civvie I met down there years ago. I recall an incident where in the wee hours we were out together. When she said she had to go home and wanted me to along. We ended up deep in a shitty area of the zona norte. Me and the taxi driver waited for her in the taxi. The driver seemed extremely nervous. I was just drunk and stupid. That so easily could have been a setup.

Funny thing, that same girl just contacted me yesterday after a couple years and wanted to see me again. Could be a huge red flag with all the shit that goes on down there. Of course I have been known to think with the wrong head. But just a reminder no matter how comfortable you get in Tijuana never let your guard down. Even the chica could be a good person but could be under some outside pressure to do something stupid.

The news showed pic the white pick up truck was burned.

It was not ordinary robbery. Looks more like a cartel revenge murder.

How did policia find links to 3 suspects so quick. It's hard to believe policia could do anything, knowing only 10% murders investigated and maybe 1% conviction.

I saw that also and always have to be careful no matter where you are.

Unfortunately they were in a more remote area not so many other people around. At least in la zona have a lot of people around. Biggest risk to us in la zona is some crazy shootout!
