4 US citizens found strangled in Tijuana
 

becareful in mexico:helpme

The bodies of four U.S. citizens were found strangled, beaten and stabbed in a van in this border city, two days after they reportedly left their Southern California homes for a night at the Mexican clubs, U.S. officials said Thursday.

The victims, ages 19 to 23 years old, were found tied up on Saturday, but their deaths were not reported earlier because they were under investigation, said Fermin Gomez, an assistant state prosecutor in Baja California.

U.S. consular officials in Tijuana said the victims ? two men and two women from the San Diego and Chula Vista areas ? were U.S. citizens. The state attorney general's office in Baja California said one of the women was Mexican.

Their deaths are the latest in a string of violence in Tijuana that authorities blame on a bloody turf war between drug cartels.

"I just don't think kids should be going to Tijuana right now," Chula Vista police Lt. Scott Arsenault told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "They ran into the wrong people, obviously."

Bernard Gonzales, a spokesman for the Chula Vista Police Department, said a friend told the women's parents they were headed to nightclubs in Tijuana on Thursday night. They were reported missing the next day when they did not answer their cell phones.

Oh another reason to never visit Mexico this time.

Mexico on ban list for life

I wonder how many Americans were killed/murdered/raped/stabbed, etc last night, in America?

If that happened to them then there is more to the story. A LOT more.

I wish people would stop acting like 19+ year olds are "kids"

a 23 year old is not a "kid" - these are adults, they can go where they want, not to mention any 19 year old going to TJ is doing so to illegally drink and/or run drugs back. I knew too many who did it to be stupid to not think so.

I was on my own paying my own bills younger than 20, if these are kids, I must be elderly

I bet a lot also go to fuck hookers and hooker clubs like "Adelito" and "Chicago"..

youd be surprised how many collega age kids run pills back from mexico to cali.

and many are good ole white kids from the burbs lol

the ones i knew who did came from nice rich families

So what that shit has been going on forever, when I was in the Marines say 96 or so, a few guys got gangraped from mexican gangs, a couple cut to death... all par for the course, Tijuana is great as long as you always travel around in packs of 8

Oh yeah...madonnas is great. That's a good place to get your cock strangled.

:2 cents: - I don't watch the news for this same reason, 'cause who really cares? We don't get the whole story about what these 4 people did to have this happen to them.. just an "oh they went to the club and got kidnapped", probably bullshit, why THESE 4 people?

probably running pills like fletch said it says they were under investigation but didnt say why.

sad news

I'm with everyone else... typically the cartels only take out people for a reason. Other people in the game, etc. Just a couple college students looking for a good time? Not really.

you got a point, but think of how many Americans were in America, and how many were in Mexico...the ratio would be way fucked up.
Northern Mexico is a mess, and that mess spills over into the southwest US. There have been a rash of kidnappings and murders in the Phoenix and Tucson areas that have been linked to the drug cartels

I think I must agree, this wasn't a quick kill, an accident that these four just happen to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

A U.S. Citizen is priceless (even the bad ones). Very angry :mad:

but god forbid we increase border security for a failed narco state at our front door... we cant do that.. because that's racist.

Adelitas :winkwink:

It's not racist, it's a violation of the treaty/acts between our Countries...

If we look at the violent crime rates between the Countries, America wins!

I don't think the murders in Tucson have been linked to the drug cartels, at least the news doesn't seem to be pushing that, even the right radio doesn't down here.

Some have been connected to the Mexican gangs. But they aren't connected to the Mexican drug cartels. I'm sure some are... but overall the murders around here are as stupid as the guy getting capped in the van setting up the police radar. Some old man did it...

Honestly, if the news never said Mexico, I would forget it was 30 minutes away.

I love to surf down there. I've been fucked with a few times. Even had all my shit stolen while I slept on the beach one time.

But I'll still go down there for good waves and cheap Coronas.

live in Mexico is very danger

Mexico City is awesome. If you're not getting kidnapped ...

yup agreed:thumbsup

I left the last playboy mansion party at 12pm......drunk.

I arrived at the mexican border (via $300 cab ride) at 3:45am or 4:15am.

I was alone & i crossed the border by myself via the turn-gate thingys.

The only thing that saved me.....was probably the guys standing on the other side (in the shadows) thought i was a police-string/setup or something :1orglaugh

and just to clarify.....yes i was there for hookers & drugs :winkwink:

:thumbsup

:2 cents::2 cents:

i wonder how many foreign college students came to America to have a good time and got tied up and stabbed to death last night?

oh... zero.

really?

lol

I watched many a webmaster. friend partake.
:-))

Huh?.....

Yeah, Mexico is off my list of places to visit which is a damn same since I went there every year since 2000. It was always dangerous - You never knew when you could be shaken down and law enforcement was spotty at best. Now, forget it.

i guess i shouldn't be surprised that an accurate analogy would totally confuse you.

crazy ass shit

I think you should read your statement again... You asked a question, answered it, then questioned/argued yourself... Kinda freaky really.

Alot, but that is besides the point. Mexico is very very risky.

thanks for the tip :thumbsup

translation: "i realize after the fact that i went too far in making a totally irrelevant analogy in a weak attempt in trying to be an apologist for narco terrorist gangs that are now taking over our borders and who are among the largest suppliers of drugs into the US and play a major role in US distribution"

It amazes me how Americans can be "scared" of other countries. It's almost like they think they live in a safe country or something

Apology accepted..

well for one i dont want to be mangled and shot to death while im on vacation :helpme
two you can't have a firearm but the gangs have a shitload:helpme

I blame the negros.

Maybe the rest of the world should stop visiting America?

If I was Australia, Canada, Germany or eve Saudi Arabia I would avoid America... % of chance wise, International people have a higher probability of being murdered in America than Americans would visiting Mexico, over the current dangers we already have.

Oh yeah, and please do not visit Washington D.C. The 2nd murder capital of the world.. Or New Orleans #3 ... And totally skip EVERY part of the Caribbean, it has one of the highest regions of murders in the world.
