If this happens in Acapulco, it can happen anywhere.
I used to go regularly to Cabo San Lucas, but quit for a variety of reasons, including clues about how the locals really feel about Americans, although they charge us three times as much as they charge the locals for the same things...
But the final "hmmmmm" moment while there was the story about the drug plane which landed near the coast a few miles north, and after the (show?) shootout, no "bad guys" were captured.
It's also interesting that the police officer quoted at the end of the article promises guns to the police... as if no one can see they are a major part of the problem...that's wonderful let's hand the local drug-lord's henchmen bigger guns and better Kevlar
