TIJUANA, Mexico – Two people were shot to death at a taco restaurant in the border city of Tijuana on Saturday, hours after a man's decapitated head was found wrapped in duct tape.

Another man was shot to death at a pool hall, and two men were found shot to death on a street.
On Friday, gunmen attacked a state police convoy on a main boulevard in Tijuana, across the U.S. border from San Diego, but prosecutors said no injuries were reported.

haven’t gone down there since 1968. Will at this point never return too violent down there.
Haven’t been in a while. My roommate goes down to speak with the people that hire him to design their houses. He warns me that it isn’t safe for me to travel through Mexico.
Don’t they understand? The reasons for all these decapitated heads recently is the unenlightened policies of the past. But don’t worry, with the new obama administration all this sensless violence in Mexico will soon come to an end.
Tijuana is Camden with palm trees.
