(FOX 5/KUSI) — The Mexican state of Baja California is far from the military operation that killed a powerful Mexican cartel boss, but the cartel’s outbreak of violence across the country in retribution reached the border region and its effects continued into Monday.
Mexican authorities killed Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, in a targeted operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, in the central part of the country, early Sunday morning.
Within hours, the cartel’s operatives in more than a dozen states set fire to vehicles and buildings, including several branches of a government bank, with the most destruction concentrated in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second-largest city, and Puerto Vallarta, a coastal city popular with international travelers.
In Baja California, nearly two dozen incidents of burning vehicles and buildings were observed in four municipalities, including Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate and San Quintin, although no injuries were reported, according to the governor’s office.
19 people were detained across the state in connection with the disturbances, state officials said.
In-person classes across Baja California were canceled for Monday, with educators hastily switching to virtual lessons for the day.
On Monday, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued a security alert for the Mexican states of Baja California, Nayarit and Jalisco, as well as parts of 11 other states, advising American citizens in those states to shelter in place.
Employees of the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana were instructed to work from home on Monday, as were those at consulates across more than a dozen Mexican states.

Here’s your big chance.
Remember, the border should be open to anyone who wants to come to America.....
/s
From Spanish to English, El Mencho translates to The Mencho.
On tv shows like The Fall Guy I remember the line on the screen for the setting when they went South saying:
Baja California (Mexico).
Helped for millions who never heard of that.

Fire
Song by Arthur Brown
Fire, I’ll take you to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to learn
I’ll see you burn
You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it’s going to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to learn
You’re gonna burn, you’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn, burn, burn, burn.
I will admit surprise that the cartels are setting fires. I assumed that the Fast n’ Furious weapons still worked.
You don’t know if its related, could be just normal everyday violence. Lousy try idiot.
Very true. To tell the truth, on Peter Gunn, the A Team and the rest when they had a trip to Mexico or places I hated the episodes. A corrupt local sheriff’s henchman finds an excuse to throw them in a shabby jail, deny them a lawyer, beat them and someone such as a down and out lawyer in a smudged white suit and needing a shave has to bribe someone to get them out.
Good line on Simon and Simon was Pat Hingle saying “Oh, here I go again mixing you guys up. You’re Simon and he’s Schuster. Sorry about that.”
One tourist tip: Don’t forget the marshmallows at the public fires. Or the hot dogs. Half the fun. 🌭
Ha ha! I remember Pat Hingle. He was a character actor, usually played a tough guy. I thought he might have been the father of their sometime secretary/receptionist, but that was Eddie Barth, another often-seen character actor.
The upside is that President Trump is now free to declare total war on them.

Ew. Another one. Yeah, yeah. I know. It isn’t happening. All is quiet on the western front. Got any other eyewitness testimony? Kind of a good thing you aren’t a travel agent, eh? I’m on the hunt for more for you to comment on. Zero problem.
Powerful cartel boss killed had several California ties
https://fox5sandiego.com/news/california-news/el-mencho-california/
the Baja was only known as Baja 50 years ago
Did they add California to the name in their march to take California the state.
True. I have never been accused of being refined. 😁
Worried about Stirring the Sauce !
