There are rumors and true events that you hear about living on the border --- if you talk with Mexicans. It's funny because most of the Americans living here could care less, it's pretty peaceful on the USA side. One of the cleaning ladies was telling me about a drug lord going into a night club with his woman friend --- very attractive. He left the table for a few minutes and some guys started flirting with her --- apparently just harmless flirting. The drug lord saw it, then the nightclub owner told the 4 men to leave and be very careful but to get the heck away. They did but were gunned down on the street while leaving. I checked the Mexican newspaper --- and sure enough --- there was an article about 4 men getting hit in a drive-by shooting after leaving a night club.
Other interesting rumors --- Amado Carrillo Fuentes they say is still alive --- that the 4 plastic surgeons who supposedly killed in in a lipid suctioning procedure and not much later were found executed on the side of a highway really had done a different procedure on him to give him a new appearance so he could avoid arrest. In Mexico --- anything is possible.
What people don't understand is that it's deadly to cross the drug mafia.
The Mexicans talk about it among themselves and to people they trust, but they're not going to say anything to the BP. They don't trust the BP.
They and their whole family might wake up dead tomorrow morning.
