Why was the guard ‘unarmed’? Crazy... if he had a gun it’s possible that he could have shot the 2nd creep into the store. Who knows what might have happened after that...
In one of the slew of brilliant things I’ve done in my life being in unarmed target or guardvin a bank was one of my more brilliant moves.
Especially after one happy customer informed me to get a gun for tommorrow because he’s going to come back
Most two peso street thugs in Mexico can't afford guns. The guard was there to prevent quick smash and grabs. This was a hit on the police commander. the police commander did something to anger the local drug lords and they took him out. The others were just in the way. It's probable that a "friend" of his or even member of his family made a few bucks (USD) off the deal.
The only armed security guards who I've seen in Mexico have been employees of large multinational corporations who spend most of their time sitting in the shade, hanging out in the cafeteria and occasionally walking through the parking lot of the machiladora to deter car burglaries. These guys can legally carry revolvers and pump action shotguns. No "automatic" weapons.
The narcotraficantes, as you can see from the tape, can carry anything they want. Cheap Chinese AKs seem to be popular these days.
Mexico has gone to hell. If we don't close our borders the US will end up like the Roman Empire in the 5th century.
