“What I thought when I first heard about it.”
Yep. I mentioned this before. About two years ago the US media was panting about an American “mother” and her “two children” being kidnapped and murdered in Mexico. The articles were hyperbolic in their hysterical coverage. Suspicious, I went searching and found the entire family, except the children, were wanted in the US for a variety of crimes, most of which involved drugs. Not one word in the media about how much trouble you’d be in if you suddenly ran into one of these family members. You’d have thought the woman had recently won the Pilsbury Bake-off. Since it was so easy to find out the background on these people the only reason the story was presented this way is to get clicks they wouldn’t have gotten if the title was, “Another American druggy gets killed by Mexican drug suppliers.”
makes you wonder why 4 people from the carolinas went across the border so that one of them could get a ‘tummy tuck’, and that it was probably just their excuse or cover.
I mean, who actually thinks it’s a good idea, or worth it, to drive over a thousand miles and over a border to a place where the reputation for medical care is that you are more likely to lose a kidney than to get a quality procedure? Fishy
It’s very sad that they get the kids involved in these things, but so many are too selfish to think about them.
