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:

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.

Posts: 2636I 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.

Posts: 712It Really Sucks
They killed them for what? Trying to fight back? Not making ransom payment?

Posts: 2636It 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.

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.

Posts: 65583 Tourists Murdered South of Ensenada
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.
