Changed quite a bit from the time it was a port of call for the Love Boat. Sometimes I watch a show about drugs and the drug trade on Nat Geo or a similar channel. There was a show about the trade in Cancun. The cartels have an agreement to keep the violence outside the town to avoid scaring the tourists. I guess for whatever reason no such pact has been made in Acapulco.

What a waste.

Yes it was a fantastic port of call for cruise ships. In the 70's ships would anchor in the harbor and the view of Acapulco at night was amazing. Great discos (Yes!) with cheap booze. Cliff divers and lots of great beach hotels - good fun.

That is all WAY in the past.

This perfectly illustrates why there is no such thing as ‘non-violent’ drug crimes...

Americans who travel to Mexico for vacation should seriously have their heads examined.

Interesting how our MSMLSD media didn’t consider it newsworthy. You have to go to media outside the US to learn what’s going on.

The Good Old Days

Man, some pretty gruesome photos down the page. I was there 33 years ago and it was enjoyable, but it had some obvious problems. We always felt safe, but we were selective about where we went. A week or so after we left, I read that some communist guerilla organization had closed roads into the city.

Acapulco probably hasn’t seen this much violence since 1624, when it was sacked by Dutch raiders during the 80 Years’ War.

Very few safe vacation spots outside of the USA. With Obozo and Hitlery’s scheme to lard up America with Muslims and allowing illegal Mexican migrants to stay here forever we’ll be seeing scenes like these every day!

I guess the only thing to do is to get those fajitas to go.

I live near the border and the agreement is the same here. Also no one reports on the violence so it doesn’t exist.

When you hear from many sources about multiple murders you can search all you want for news, Spanish and English and you won’t find anything. I don’t know if it is censorship or there are no more journalists brave enough to cover it.

Liberal 'elites' want to bring the hellhole to the United States - THEY get cheap drugs ... WE THE PEOPLE get the violence and horror.

Same with bringing in CLEAP LABOR. THEY get cheap labor - WE THE PEOPLE get the violence and horror.

[Nifster]

Oh that can’t be .....don’t you know all cultures are the same?

[Oratam]

I read this and cannot help but think, 'Has the United States become a "narco-state?"'

We will not build a wall because that would hamper the free flow of drugs into our country. Because there so much money to be made in the drug trade it easily corrupts our law enforcement at every level as well as elected officials from the local dog catcher to the president of the United States.

What a change from 30 years ago. I am truly depressed.

[Boogieman]

Ha, “Goin Loco in Acapulco” I totally forgot about that 80s Four Tops song, now I gotta listen to it again :)

You could get on a plane in Peoria Illinois back in the 80s at around 6am change planes in Chicago and then fly direct to Alcapulco be on the beach by 1pm. People loved Americans. I’d stay at the the Camino Real, but they this 4star place up on the hill that had pink golf carts for the people.

A real paradise.
