Mood: Enjoying Life with Wife In Mexico, Easy on The Easy

[*] posted on 9-27-2007 at 09:25 PM


Dennis, you were right I meant Doug Means, sorry for the quick fingers typing and brain power not keeping up. Still, maybe Doug, Hose A. and FDT could agree to work together and if again we could get at least 60 people to donate it would be of great help the the surviving widow and son. FDT advise me that two officers where killed by the Cartel and maybe what is collected could be given directly to the widows for them and their children. Every little bit helps and if we want the cops to have some extra thought towards Americans lets show them we actually give a damn about them putting it on the line. I know this can not be done every time with such killings but if not now when??? I am willing to send a donation and if we could get donations of at least $40, we would never turn down less so give what you can, and as much over that which you can afford to donate. I think this being done in the name of BajaNomads would be a good thing for all. I will start a new topic for those agreeing to pledge monies and hopefully Doug, Hose A., and FDT would be willing to get it to the widows and the their kids directly avoiding any government involvement. Hope others feel the same or least 60 of those Nomads reading these forums:saint:. Later===========bajafun777

Well stated Diver!

We, as visitors, may be somewhat important to Baja's economy but for one, we are just visitors (not as important as family and friends to most anyone) and 2, how can we expect any actions on our behalf when they are fighting for their lives and the lives of their children ?
Best hopes and wishes to those that are fighting the fight.


I'm glad most of the truly insensitive posts on this thread seem to have disappeared...whether by Moderators or by the original posters. Please remember, not ALL police in Mexico are corrupt. Not ALL police in Mexico accept mordita. All police are human & have families just like you do; so stop & think before you dehumanize them as an entire group! There are Nomads who have family members who risk their lives on a daily basis to protect everyone in their beat...regardless of nationality! There are also Nomads whose relatives have given their lives. So please try to be a little more sensitive & don't paint ALL police as on the take or corrupt, there are good & bad police. Their own daily survival is paramount to their being out there for all the rest of us...regardless of what country we were born in!

Hose A, I also applaud your stepson for the career path he chose to follow & sympathize with you & his mother's sleepless nights over his safety & well-being...as I do the families of policeman everywhere!
