MEXICO CITY (AP) — Eleven young people were brazenly kidnapped in broad daylight from an after-hours bar in Mexico City's Zona Rosa, a normally calm district of offices, restaurants, drinking spots and dance clubs, anguished relatives said Thursday.

The apparent mass abduction purportedly happened sometime between 10 a.m. and noon on Sunday morning just off the Paseo de la Reforma, the city's main boulevard, near the Angel of Independence monument and only about 1½ blocks from the U.S. Embassy.

...

City prosecutors said they had received 11 missing-person reports, but Garcia said residents of the tough downtown neighborhood of Tepito where the victims live thought as many as 15 or 16 people could have been abducted.

The known missing include six men, most in their 20s, a 16-year-old boy and four young women.

The Zona Rosa (pink zone) is the tourist area of Mex City. Lots of nice hotels and shops, not to mention cops with shotguns on nearly every corner.

They don't have 2A rights in Ol'Mejico, so the answer is NEVER!

They could do a lot with just machetes and molotav cocktails. IIRC a town deep in the interior recently did exactly that. They set up road blocks, overtook the local police station, took their guns, expelled corrupt officials from town, and then went door-to-door tossing out drug users and dealers.

I've reached the point in my life that I never need to see another Quentin Tarantino movie. I've seen several, including the one you mentioned, and they have added nothing to my life.

” All cultures are equal, right? “

Except ours. We are working overtime to scrub all accurate references of American culture from the public conscience.
