Our news is saying they went for a tummy tuck, the Mexican police chief or mayor is making it sound like they had other business dealings.
I wonder how much of this had to do with ethnicity, cartels don’t have a lot of love for the African American community.
The Mexican authorities are completely corrupt and on the cartel's payroll a lot of the time.
Plus, they would never say anything bad that would cause problems for tourism.
Most of the bad dealings in Mexico go unreported, their media is far more controlled than the US.
I've spent a lot of time in Mexico, it's a dangerous place and the border towns are the worst.
Probably more to the story, but American's get kidnapped all the time in Mexico.
I used to drive to El Paso and walk across the border to Juarez to buy gear. Once time i was waiting for my friend to pick me up at the border and a minivan filled with 5 young dudes dressed in black rolled up, just as they opened the door to the minivan a Mexican nation guard soldier walked around the corner (the military patrol the border crossing), they slammed the door and bolted like a bat out of hell.
That was my death I'm halfway sure of it.
There are safe places in Mexico, but the border towns are the worst due to drug/human trafficking.
The cops don't give a shit, they get paid nothing, so they are easily bought out by cartels who have millions.
There is a saying in Mexico that when bad things happen the cops run away, and it is 100% true.
They aren't going to put their life on the line for a salary that barely gets you out of poverty.
