Not safe, but not leaving. It really does no good to leave if you have family. They will just take a relative from my house for ransom instead of
me.
We know there is a lot going on below the surface- sometimes it's ugly head rises and we can see it... but usually all the bad news is suppressed from
us. It's a tourist town with 10,000 Americans and bad news and the truth benefit no one in the Mayor's opinion.
Yes, the small memorials are everywhere. Candles, flowers, notes to the deceased and deflated balloons.
No, the truckloads of Army in black masks don't make anyone feel safer. After all this is the same "uniform" the bad guys wear. Not having to patrol
the streets with convoys of armed vehicles at all would make me feel safer- but they must be needed or they wouldn't be here.
We don't brush anything off that we learn of. The violence is real, the victims not always involved in drugs any more. The recent
kidnapping/beheading here shows the ultra-violent crime is moving towards the businesses and general population.
I haven't talked to any american down here that venture out at night or walk around as freely as they once did. We are self-sentenced prisoners in
our own homes I guess. JMHO though.

As I have posted before Hugo Torres needs to have check points on every road -in and out-like the one going north on the toll road. With the millions
he has lost in real estate and business he could have purchased the Huey gunship with the mega lights at the ready 24/7.
I have come thru La Gloria and gone up the road to upper Rosarito and nada for check points.
Its time the people ran his burro et. al out of town. Unfortunately he owns most of Town I suspect.

He really has no control- other than Public Relations damage control.
Nothing he did in the past or can do in the future can change what is happening. I'm not a fan of the man- but I don't think he is making the calls.
That's how he has stayed alive.

Woooosh, you are very wise and I concur. I have not approached the subject as I would make statements that would be very provocative and without any
substance, but you gota wonder how a guy can build all the empty condos and have a "pot" to p in.
Only guy I know is puggy Donald.

Thanks- it's not wisdom though, more like deductive reasoning. You look at who is left alive in public positions and wonder how they do it. Torres
himslef has said if they wanted to kill him- nothing could stop them. He also said if he only owned a taco stand instead of the RBH, he would have
left town already.

I think the "security guard" of the kidnapped boys neighborhood was the cop who was beheaded.

It was the cops not the cartels.
For expats Rosarito is the safest it's ever been. The police don't mess with us...ever. They are now busy terrorizing the local populace. The only
problem is that I have Mexican plates so I get stopped occasionally. When they recognize I'm a gringo they just cut me loose. I never was concerned
about the cartels.
