Not sure how many people saw this. The Bentley drive-by made me think of it. Warning, though, its pretty graphic. These unarmed people just get raged on.

That's unfortunate. I put the direct url in the op for now, the link button is being difficult.

Yeah that was the wife of the off-duty police chief whom the hit was intended for. You can also see the first guy go sliding into the counter, he was one of the hitmen. He got shot by the guy coming in behind him on accident. Too bad he was still moiving when they dragged him out.

that is just crazy man. But this is back in 2007 and we are almost in 2009. Anything recent on the drug war in Mexico?

[schnell325]

Fucked up.

[deletedelete]

I visited mexico a while back and hated it. I was scared, the locals spit on me and the group I was traveling with. It was so awful we cut the mexico part of our vacation short and left the same day.

I refuse to ever go back.

they should make the border like the wall that was in Doomday.

lol. I wasnt wearing anything unusual. We actually went to Juarez as our first stop. There was a VW beetle and dentist office on every corner. Juarez and the next town was so frightening with the locals following us and spitting on us we just left.

Uhhh where in Mexico were you!???

I have been to Mexico on several occasions, and I will be there again in a week and a half. My experience was pretty much the opposite of yours: locals were very friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing... what's not to like?

Started in Juarez and went to the next city over, I dont remember the name. Locals in Juarez were nasty, we were spit on by a group of people who followed us for a few minutes, forcing us to walk to the border for security. We did order some food, which was horrible to me and of course couldnt drink the water.

Of all the places ive been around the world my trip to mexico was the worse. albania and turkey which I was forced into going to was equally as horrible.

I've heard both sides, being only what like 10-15 miles from the border with Tijuana. Some good times, others not so much. A sailor stationed at an NAS here apparently went down with his family last year. They were kidnapped. And that's all that is really known.

I think that if you venture into the parts of Mexico that are not so riddled with tourists you might escape some of the shittyness and condescendery that you have been encountering. (going just 15 miles into Mexico does not represent the country as a whole)

[lauer87]

That is horrible, I didn't read the whole article, but I'm guessing it was a planned assassination of the cop (who unfortunately happened to be with his wife at the time) .

[addy85]

holy shit thats crazy! I don't know how people can do these things.

[Jammin Jason]

angle three was the worst. you see that man in white, next to the door, right when men get in, clips of ak47 ammunition was shot at him in very close range...let alone when they exit the man shoots him w/ his pistol on the chest.
