Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Jackie888]

Made a visit Monday afternoon. Saw a lot of military presence and wondered what was up because it's a weekday, and a slow Monday too.

I did not really understand until I got home Monday night and popped on the news, only to see that 4 Americans were kidnaped in Matamoros (Border town to Texas).

All border towns are dangerous because it is the smuggler's gateway to the US market, and cartels will fight to the death to control the gateway.

Well, at least we got 2 of the 4 back alive.

I'm holding my breath for the day when the cartels spray the Hong Kong Club down with bullets. Tricks and tutes are going to be massacred. I'm hoping it doesn't happen, but anything goes!

Does anyone have any recent reports about policing and military crime enforcement especially by the Constitucion and the alley.

I got some more intel from Deja Vu. I met a chica from Nuevo Laredo in her mid 30's and she was the best dancer in the club. She said it was her third day and that she is under contract for month or have to pay them $200 to leave. Apparently they offer housing for them and have chicas from El Salvador, Columbia, Venezuela, etc. They had some exotic looks, but I was already drinking with the chica. I asked why she didn't work at HK, and she said she is new and doesn't know the area. I said she would make killer money dancing in HK, but she would have 150-200 other women to compete with every night. She then asked if I'd take her on her day off, but I declined politely. I just got her drinks at $10 and they get $4 cut.

I asked why hang out with me and she said I was tranquillo and most monger brothers are not respectful. I guess the first thing they ask her is if she offers BBBJ which turned her off. I guess even sex workers have standards when it comes to how you ask about their services. I wasn't interested in taking her arriba so sorry didn't get intel, but just found it interesting that Chicago and Deja Vu have foreign chicas. She said $200 in Mexico is roughing it, but she heard for a Colombian that $200 in Columbia is reasonable. It could be possibly the women from Adelitas are moving around to the other clubs throughout Tijuana.

Good info KB. At what time did you visit. I'm just trying to figure out if it's a good place to stop by on a Sunday around 9 pm.

Great update and information. I hate to pay a cover also when I'm not sure if it's worth it. I remember the strip club I liked on Revolution trying to get a cover but I'd usually ask if I could take a walk in first to look around, if they said no I would walk away and usually they called me back. Not sure if you drove or took a cab but some places will pay the taxi a commission to bring clients to the club so if you came by cab they might of been stricter on the cover.

It's a cartel hit. Sicario walked up to her and shot her point blank. It's not an accidental shoot.

I have seen an old woman selling candies, mumbling "cuanto, cuanto," may be she was selling without paying taxes to cartels.

It could be Sinaloa and jncg killing each other.

[Jackie888]

The shootings is very odd & sad. It is inexplicable why a candy seller would assassinated in the Zona. My only theory is that she was possibly a dealer or made deliveries for the dealers. Hopefully the police crack down on the dealers in the Zona. If the police had 1 or 2 foot patrols it would eliminate most of problems in the Zona. If anyone is in the Zona please post on the police enforcement.

Likely a hit on a dealer or a mistaken in identity civilian. Every couple of months they sweep the zona of dealers, and a new group replaces them within a week. But sometimes from a different cartel, and there is a turf war. Ask a girl in the alley how often a homicide happens and they will tell you scary shit.

My bad I didn't have a good look but from street it looked like a guy. She was kind of butch.

When I leave California and Tijuana, I sometimes think I must been crazy to walk around all these streets. The problem, for me anyway, is the Mexican people, are both short, so not physically intimidating, and not dressed like usa gangstas, and much more quieter. Compared to usa everyone kinda minds their own business. So I let my guard down but I really shouldn't be walking around any of these streets.

Sometimes the spidey sense doesn't work as well when you're not in a familiar environment, I catch myself having to re-calibrate sometimes too.

A female got shot and killed across from La Malquerida. She wasn't a "paradita" one report says she was a candy seller. Guy went up and shot her twice and ran to a taxi libre and was gone. Just a few days before they had another guy get shot and killed in front of Bar Delicious again.

I think these shootings happen more often than we realize. Surprised I never saw one of you mention hearing about a guy that was killed in the alley a couple weeks ago. One of my chica friends told me it happened around 10 pm either on the 15th or 16th, don't remember which one. She said everyone went about their business as if nothing happened.

This isn't just happening in the Zona but it's a daily routine in the city. The biggest difference so far this year is that they have already had about 40 women killed. This seems to be getting people to make more noise and they are expecting a large March next week March the 8th for international woman's day.

One of my chica friends told me it happened around 10 pm on the 23rd. She said everyone went about their business as if nothing happened. Perhaps we should avoid walking through the alleys for the time being just in case. Lately I only go down there when Im staying at Cascadas to meet with my regulars so no reason to really go through the alley anyway, for me at least. Proceed with caution.

I notice a lot of guys walk around fucking with their phones on the streets. Not sure if that is a good idea. Not only do you lose situational awareness. A shooter may misunderstood your phone to be a camera filming the shooting. And the next thing you know, you wake up in the hospital with a hole in you (if you are lucky).

Yup, my phone pretty much never leaves my pocket when Im in the area. Gotta be alert at all times.

Please post the link? Did a search and did not see anything?

Yeah I should of added that. The first link is the basic information just saying she worked selling candy. The second link is more detailed with more pics.

The news hasn't said anything about her being a working girl. The pics I saw didn't seem to be dressed like you usually see a working girl dressed. One report said she worked selling candy. No reports on her name, but one said that she was in front of abarrrotes Valenzuela and a tattoo on her right arm of the name "Ramon".
