Default Mexico --- it seems a little rough these days




Holy crap.






Sick.






I believe those wounds are fatal.





Looks like someone was also a little upset with him.


I am offically crossing Mexico off for a possible winter vacation destination.

That's shame, I hear they have some really awesome roller coasters down there. Between that, the abundance of hand guns and don't forget the cock fights, it really could have been a perfect vacation destination for you and your girlfriend................

It's miraculous enough that he goes as far away as Florida in the Winter.

Mexico? Was never gonna happen.

There are some pretty f*cked up videos out there too. I went to Mexico City back in 2005 for 1 week. Never again. When we checked into the hotel, the staff at the front desk told us flat out "Do not leave this hotel at night." They had BOGO happy hours on beers every night for 3 hours, so they go no complaints from us.

the zetas have picked up a few tricks from the al qaeda. with a bit of viet cong mixed in for effect..this stuff has been going on for 4 years or so.ive worked down in many of the areas that are hotspots..life is cheap. poverty is everywhere and the only hope for teens to make money is to join the cartels..very sad.. this stuff will spill over into the u.s soon enough..then maybee the stand on imigration from the leftys will change..

Ensenada and Rosarito Beach were lovely places. The locals were warm and friendly, the climate perfect, and the food was amazing and cheap.

We used to get lobster (Pacific) dinners for dirt cheap, and years later I'd give a $20 bill to a street taco vendor and he'd give my friends and I all the tacos we could eat. Carne Asada, carnitas, pastor and lengua.

From the looks of things, it appears that the people being killed are all Mexican and affiliated with gangs.

The more violent cartels have branched out into shakedowns. Imagine the mob on steroids.

Who knew this had something to do with racing. Check out Tectors post in the padlock.
