  • Well, try living someplace labelled ‘3rd world’ where poverty is so bad that said Police are often paid off by companies and cartels who offer a living wage.

    Those not paid off are often threatened or worse: disappear and are found months later in a shallow pit.

    So no, it’s not that Mexico’s Federales nor National Guard nor Police ‘suck’ so much as poverty sucks. Poverty proliferates corruption which ultimately brings out the worst in all humanity.

    Cartels taking this shit out on the people sucks. Corruption sucks. Ignorance here is also ‘sucks’.


  • In Puerto Vallarta right now:

    Malecón is on fire , gas stations are ablaze, both costco and its gas station are burning and the airport is at least partially on fire. Plus no ability to put them out because cartels are blocking all major roads and freeways.

    Guadalajara, Chihuahua, Durango and Acapulco Norte are also under seige where they are both under statewide lockdown orders and some were warned by Cartels to stay at home the next couple days… Schools closed too.
