Funny thing is I find everything you just summarized as plausible in the Zona.
In the sommer of 2016 or 2017 (Iforget) there was a gang of rateros around 5 or 6 deep between Coahulia and Primera, on Constitucion. If you spent more than 10 minutes across from Thereseas cart (across from Playboi) you would have seen them with the cuantos guys. They (the 2 girls) tried to rob El Oso (from TJA), they also tried robbing Lyndsie (walker) as she came out from buying Coke and cigarettes (I was actually on the phone with her as it happened). I watched a gringo chase them (all 5-6) as I talked to Cindy (walker from Philly). Why short? They were early teens and dressed as stylish teens do. They were 14-16 years old and were indeed small in stature, which I believe is why they failed robbing Barbarian (from defunct TJA site). Their huge flaw was being so easily found in the same spots. One day they robbed a local who came back with a gun. Ratero was shot dead in front of Playboi by the taco stand. I never really noticed the guys any more (male ratero was shot) but the two girls still try to rob people still (as of July-August 2018 which is when I took an operational pause from Zona mongering).
I know two mongers who dated bar girls (BG) and cutting them off if they started charging totally seems plausible because I know that would - - - - me offf. I work with a guy who openly admits hes dating a BG from HK and I would call him BS. Except I ran into him at HK with her. And then on the street by their apartment. This dude sells his plasma for $ so I'm sure he would cut her off if she tried charging. IDK.
I get stopped dozens of time by Tijuana policia and I'm sporting a military reg haircut, black long sleeved shirt (usually Nine Inch Nails concert shirt), desert sand colored 5. 11 tactical pants and Oakley 6" boots. Nothing in my hands. I usually have just enough to take a walker up for an hour or 2-3 street girls which is about $60, which. Is not enough for a hotel. I park in front of McDonalds next to PedWest (no overnight allowed) so I am never intending to stay. The cops know who has the drugs so they're very blatantly stopping any gringo they feel like. There's no shortage of guys on the forums who at times think the taxis are in on it (driving with lights off or flashing lights to signal a Mark) or for awhile Premier motel staff. Some Tijuana escort agencies still won't send girls there.
Its funny, Lynsie (Lyndsy?) used to despise guys who hung out on monger forums. I asked why since that's how I found her and she knew I used to get on TJA. She says "nothing more pathetic than guys gossiping about prostitutes," however, I would counter it seems more pathetic to gossip about mongers who gossip about prostitutes.
Who cares? Winning an argument on the internet is liking winning the special olympics as a fully capable adult. Winning girls wrestling when you were born a male. Sure you won. But did you?
Don't sweat the petty things. Go to Tijuana and pet the sweaty things.
[QUOTE=Phordphan;2283547]OK. Hold the phone. I'm going to stick up for Jackie. Criticism pointed at him is completely unwarranted.
I, too, wanted to call BS on the OP's post. The dude's credibility is in the toilet. More in a sec. I've been crossing for around 20 years, first with a CA DL, then with a passport, then a passport card, then with SENTRI. On foot, and by car. I have never, ever, been asked for the names of anybody I've seen in Mexico. I could give them, but I've not been asked. I see now that a couple of guys have been asked, so I guess it does happen.[/QUOTE]
