CHARLIE NEUMAN / Union-Tribune Pat Weber, who survived an assault while camping in Baja California, carried his board near his surfing school, the San Diego Surfing Academy.Forget the group hug, next time stash a gun in your RV to defend against these thugs. They are just like the pirates of the high seas and most boaters carry multiple weapons.
Okay I’ve been proven wrong again.
“Family values don’t end that the border!” My bad...
Gun control advocates will love this one.
I have a technical question that maybe somebody here can answer: when a newspaper article, such as this one, says the woman was “sexually assaulted”, does that mean she was raped? If so, why does it not say “raped”? I have seen stories where the victim was described as having been sexually assaulted, but it was obvious that rape had not occurred, so I was wondering if there was some hard and fast rule about the use of the two terms in newspaper land.
Heaven forbid you should use this experience as a lesson to GET A GUN.
"It could have ended 100 different ways much worse.”
Yeah -- for the bad guys. Shoot a gun at my house with me and my loved ones inside and they would either be dead or still running.
Old news. This has been going on for decades. As Mexico struggles with the drug lords for control, the violence has gotten substantially worse.
American citizens are being kidnapped in Laredo and taken across the border by drug lords where they are often held for ransom and, sometimes, murdered. The State Department finally had to issue a travel warning about Mexico a year or two ago because the crime and violence have gotten so bad.
This is the stuff that Bush, Fox and Claderon DON’T want you to know. I live within 150 miles of the Texas-Mexico border and used to love going to the border towns. However, because of the crime and the violence, I refuse to go.
Too bad, too!! I used to really enjoy it.
My feet will never touch mexican soil.
Mexico doesn’t much care about it’s own people, why would they care about me?
I went to TJ about 15 years ago...It was nothing then and it’s still nothing. I will never spend a penny in that turd world country again.
I have had two friends get shot down there and left for dead in trash bags. Their parents had to come get their fly swarmed corpses. Both of them broke the rules of nature and wild Mexico swallowed them whole.
What are these idiots doing in mexico or close to it?Where was his weapon for self defense?
I think people think, because of lurid headlines and blockbuster Hollywood crime movies, that foreign countries have lower crime rates than the US. Nothing could be further from the truth. And these tourists have discovered the truth for themselves, the hard way.
It's guys like him who accepted the invasion in the first place. And he's either too stupid or venal to criticize Mexico and recognize it for what it is, so crap like this happens - crap that anyone else with half a brain already understood as being the reality there - but which he denies, or doesn't try to understand.
My surfing buddies told tales such as this 10 years ago and learned to keep some extra money available to pay their way out of situations. They never did bring females along for good reasons.
Take a 12 guage shotgun or stay home
There all a bunch or crooks.

The dumb ass should feel guilty. If you want to put yourself in a dangerous situation without any means of defense, that's your business. To take someone along with you is pretty low. Too bad the girl was as foolish as him.
