ROSARITO, Mexico (Reuters) - Four people believed to be Americans were shot in the head and dumped in a notorious drug-smuggling area in northern Mexico near the border with California, Mexican police said on Monday.
Police in the beach town of Rosarito, across the border from San Diego, said they discovered the bodies of three men and a woman on Sunday in an abandoned car in a remote patch of scrubland near the Pacific coast.

bkmark. thanks.
Who said anything about these being drug related deaths? I was on a mission trip in this exact area last summer building houses ... though given the current circumstances I won’t be going back. However, I don’t think we should jump to conclusions about what these “Americans” were doing there and about their value as human beings ... Baja Ministries is very active in this impoverished area. Granted, it could have been drug related or something else criminal but I don’t think we know that at this point do we?
Xacly.
Gosh, then I guess it's A-OK...
Oh, if that were only true.
Not correct, White Americans being raped, killed, kidnapped also.
You should be fine as the large tourist areas are safe. Headed to Cabo myself soon.
*If these were drug related, who cares?*
This is only a fraction of the problems.
Tourists being raped, and robbed by corrupt
police in Tijuana and the list goes on.
“You should be fine as the large tourist areas are safe. Headed to Cabo myself soon.”
Not me, my daughter. But, I’m getting mixed messages on the safety down there. Agh!!
Where did the baby go when you dumped that tub of water off the back porch?

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. ...
Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.
From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence.
I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.
I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct;
that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing."
-- Daniel Webster 1837
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
BUMP

Any ass clown who is offended by Americans calling themselves Americans, can kiss my hairy AMERICAN a$$.
Oh -- and what the hell is a Norté Americano?
Sounds like an insulting slur...and it OFFENDS ME...
Especially with the Spanish inflection....
“The Federales are playing for keeps and the criminals know it!”
Sadly, OUR “federales” are NOT playing for keeps- and the criminals know it!
Glad your dad wasn’t hurt. If he’s a 3-war vet, he must one helluva man. Tip of the hat to him!
Terrible metaphor. Being joined at the hip with multiple third world countries has been more beneficial than not, eh? Believe me, if Mexico, Central America and South America didn't exist, I'm sure we'd find a way to get along without them; especially our schools, jail/prison systems and hospitals. Obviously I'm more concerned with our country's survival than you are, as I have no interest whatsoever in any of the aforementioned countries.
