Usually the drug gangs would leave the tourists alone as it would be bad for business and get the authorities on them.

Barky set up a new business with his Iran hostage payment.

It's called kidnap the Americans for fun and prophet.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Coming to America.

[Menehune56]

Well, this ought to do wonders for the Mexican tourist industry. Adios gringos!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Bump for later. Been to Puerto Vallarta twice; last time was 10 years ago.

Another place on the planet that I’ll never see again...

[Little Pig]

Surprising. I think “Bachelor in Paradise” films there. That would be a heck of a coup, grabbing that bunch. The pressure to pay out would be enormous due to the visibility of the captives. I wonder if they’ll find a new venue for next year.

That will likely not be a stop for The Love Boat moving forward until Mexico can get their criminality under control.

[ncfool]

Not on media yet? WTF.

[Mr. K]

It used to be you could safely go anywhere if you were an american.

Everyone (even the criminals) were afraid to mess with the US.

Now, it’s like “Eh... why not “

[LouieFisk]

It could also be wealthy Mexicans who were kidnapped. Pretty common in that hellhole.

[SpinnerWebb]

El Chapo's son is thought to be among the abductees. According to ktla.com

[semimojo]

"However, the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board said no tourists were involved and described the incident as "isolated.""

Good to see Breitbart upholding their standard of journalistic excellence.

[mjp]

visited Acapulco once as a tourist on vacation and been to other places in Mexico as part of a cruise. Mexico is a hellhole

[oldplayer]

Shocking! Shocking, I tell you!

[Ditter]

As my friend who lives in Mexico told me “it's very safe here, there are guards everywhere!”.

If it was really safe you wouldn't need guards everywhere............ and can you trust those guards?

[SkyDancer]

The Daily Mail (UK) reports that they were members of a rival gang.

[Nifster]

depends on whether they need money or not

[Organic Panic]

Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to Breitbart Texas through a prepared statement the ongoing investigation into a large kidnapping......

.....Right after he gets back from vacation with a large suitcase of new found prosperity.

Mexico is a failed state. Not only that we are openly inviting and supporting the people that destroyed Mexico. We won’t seal our border. We invite and pay for Mexicans to come here, and yes, including drug cartel members. And rather than fix Mexico Mexicans will just keep coming here and create the madness they created back home AND fund the corrupt Mexican government with remittances.

Usually the drug gangs would leave the tourists alone as it would be bad for business and get the authorities on them.

they've destroyed Acapulco without any regard to the tourism industry, which probably now does not have enough influence within the governments to push back on the cartels
