California city official is gunned down while vacationing in Mexico

He lived in Tijuana Beach, as we called it when I was a girl in Chula Vista, but he was vacationing in Ixtapa, in Guerrero, heart of the drug war.

And he worked in Imperial City, CA, and commuted across the border every day?

Maybe someone should look into HIS finances.

RIP

Should have stayed in Zihua instead of going to the hotel zone.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#32: "Everyone from the dog catchers up are more then ready to accept your bribes. Mexico has always been a hell hole of corruption."

Ann Coulter says that she thanks God every day that the United States was founded by White Protestant Englishmen, otherwise we would be living in some variant of Mexico, Brazil, or Quebec.

Lots of people legally cross the border every day. It looks like an easy drive east on (Mexico’s) National Highway 20, take a left at Mexicali, and you’re in Imperial in ... 30, 40 minutes, unless there’s a ton of commuter traffic.

50, never married, no kids, 4:00 a.m., homosexual-friendly vacation spot. I don’t know; how could anything go wrong with that scenario?

[hanamizu]

In terms of actual distance, it would be a rather short commute.

But the wait at the border is usually an hour or two. Maybe it’s faster if you walk across and have someone pick you up on the US side.

[Tax-chick]

I’m sorry, belay that last. There’s an “Imperial” to the east, while Imperial Beach is just a jump over the border up the coast from Tijuana.

[Bullish]

Look at all Spanish founded colonies amigo. They are the absolute worst in political corruption.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Supplementing his income and came up wrong with his true employers.

[dfwgator]

The article is rather misleading, as the guy lived in Mexico, and commuted to the US for his day job.

That's even dumber.

[Tax-chick]

But what were they before the Spanish arrived? Are the English responsible for corruption in India, as if it were a pristine paradise before 1600-ish?

I’m not waving a flag for the Spanish, but there were major imperial powers with massive bureaucracies in the Americas before any Europeans arrived. They were all perfect?

[2CAVTrooper]

Exactly!

Isn’t it the stated “policy” of the Mexican government to flood our border states in an effort to eventually retake the land?

[Bullish]

Right now, and for a long long time, if you're not of Spanish decent you would not be welcomed to hold any power in Mexican politics. The indigenous peoples of Mexico are relegated to peon status because of their ruling elites, who are all the descendants of ruling and conquering Spaniards.

Pretty simple and traceable history there, compadre.

[2CAVTrooper]

Top that off being the city’s finance director.

Probably “lost” some cartel money.

[TexasGator]

US officials are not allowed to travel to that state.

[Enterprise]

The wait at the border is the real downside. Other than living in a country that takes the police 4 hours to get there when you get murdered.

[doug from upland]

A city official lived in another country?

“This nation have NEVER been America’s friend!”

I was working down there offshore on a marine construction vessel. We were moored 50 ft away from a mexican oil platform doing diving work on the bottom. The wind was blowing towards us and the mexicans on the platform above us would come to the rail and take a piss.

I don’t have much regard for them at all.

I went to Acapulco with a girlfriend back in 2007. It was a pleasant trip but you couldn’t pay me to go back under the current conditions.
