Now we know where Woooosh got this "EL Mex" story from. Woooosh was hanging out over at the "Alarmist" Maggie's blog where Woooosh has been kicked off
repeatedly, and told not to return.
This article is a perfect example how some "Alarmists" in Baja cover the news. They take the worst elements of a news story which they blindly accept
with no questions asked. And then they present it to the ex-pat Americans and other readers who don't read or bother to read the Baja Spanish papers
themselves.
JoeJustJoe(me) and a few other "Nomad" member do not believe this is a random robbery, and believe the two victims were targeted at the bank. I
personally don't think two robberies repeated in the news means it's open season on Americans and Mexican at the US/Mexican border, or that the
Mexican robbers are acting with impunity.
I believe people like Maggie are very deliberate , and only pick the Baja articles in the Mexican papers to push their anti-Mexico agenda, and their
"be very scared agenda." It's all about FEAR!
Maggie does this all the time. I remember a year or two ago there was a "right-to-life" march in Tijuana, and thousands of Mexicans took to the street
in protest, and support the right-to-life.
Maggie said the event was in protest of the Mexican drug cartels killing Mexicans. The event was really a anti-abortion rally put on by the Catholic
church. Maggie left out that important fact.

From "Maggie Madness" her most recent post:
VIOLENCE TIJUANA ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE LINE
According to El Mex, armed robbers are attacking with impunity motorists who are in line waiting to cross into the United States at the San Ysidro
Port of Entry.
In the second attack of motorists in less than fifteen days (not counting the shooting three days back), yesterday afternoon at 12:40pm, Ceron Israel
Ramiriez and Juan Marquez Olmos were waiting in line on the Fast Track East to cross the border when they were attacked by armed men on both sides,
threatened with firearms and robbed of money, a laser visa and two Blackberry phones. The victims had just withdrawn the money from the Bancomer bank
in the Zona Rio. There have been no arrests. BTW, the short waits going into the US which we were experiencing the past few weeks are over, the waits
are back up to one and a half to two hours.

Sanquintinsince aren't you the same guy that talks about in your face homosexuals ? I don't think there is any such gay people, because it still takes
two to tangle and it usually takes a willing participant from the other party.
I think you're exaggerating a bit here too with the shoeshine boy, taco dude and the taxi guy. So when did any of these three types of workers put a
gun to your head and act with impunity? And what did the taco dude too? I never had a bad experience with a taco dude?
However, I do believe a little " Social Darwinism" is alive and well in Mexico, and especially in the border cities like Tijuana.
If your from somewhere like Kansas. You just might have a little trouble in Mexico, and the more hapless you appear the more the locals might try to
take advantage of you. You're just not in Kansas anymore.
But you can always say no, and learn how to bargain when you buy things. |

Ayayay.....
Just about everyone along the border is looking to make a little extra something off of someone else. As reported in Channel 12 from Tijuana just the
other day even the "Calafia" guys are illegally charging people higher fares than the fares set by the municipio.
It is what it is. We can't change it but we keep going down there because we love Baja and it's people. You to JJJ, I love you.
