I have heard reports that the Police in Mexico are involved in kidnappings for ransom so it is possible this was street justice.
You're right, I remember hearing something about that too come to think of it.
I was planning a fishing trip to Mexico early next year. But as I sat on my local lake catching a mess of big bass today, I thought why the heck should I leave the safety of America to catch fish in polluted waters? Would the guide boat be safe and without holes? What if I snagged my line on some lost drug shipment? Would they torture, rape and kill me, then dump me with the fish gutts.
Despite my political dismay, I'll stay in the US of A.
