Lovely country mexico /s
16? Don Corleone would wretch.
Acapulco’s hotel zone use to be safe, now it’s turning into another off limits for tourists. What next Playa de Carmen
Mexico should ban assault rifles and grenades ...
/s
At least Juarez and Tijuana are still safe.
I wouldn't believe them...
Which will no doubt renew Obama and Holder’s calls for taking the guns of legal, law-abiding AMERICANS away. Gotta love that logic.
Headless bodies found along Rosarito toll road.
Forensic investigators were trying to determine whether the severed heads of two men discovered in eastern Tijuana early yesterday belonged to two headless bodies found more than eight hours later at the opposite end of town.
The bodies, both charred, were reported at 1:30 p.m. on the side of the coastal toll road between Tijuana and Rosarito Beach.
But were they using American guns? Because that would make a huge difference.
Used to go to Rosarito Beach as a kid. Now there isn’t enough money in the world to get me to step across the border.
Sir Francis, there are times when your lack of faith in your Mexican fellow man is apalling. The Guerrero State Police is as fine a body of men as any I have met during my Latin American adventures.
Is this part of the “all-inclusive” pkg. at the resorts
There are some screamin’ vacation deals there right now.
And those paying attention know why...
That must be why there are no grenades on the shelves of WalMart's in the Southwest, nor at the guns shows in the area.
Right??
These damn Mexicans are always buying up all the grenades at the gun shows, never leaving any for anybody else.
This is a drop in the bucket for Mexico.
For all the south of the border news check keyword NAFBPO. There were several beheadings last week.

Isn’t it possible to determine if the alleged hostages had any gunpowder residue on their hands or clothing?
Or is that only the stuff of CSI scripts?
That’s got to do wonders for tourism.
