Something is not adding up here, with the guy's story. He says the bandits drove up in a van, he paid them money, then they "ran off"? Where is/
what happened to the van? Did they leave it? Or did it disappear? |
you guys sure have spent a lot of time dissecting a 200 word news report

original report, this was not a robbery. What the initial report contends is that a bunch of masked men decided to conduct a sexual assault on a
public street. |
That could be why they felt the hotel set them up. Masked gunmen would be solely interested in money. How did they know he was carrying enough to
make it worth their while? The sexual assault was probably just to scare them and hands up the skirt is pretty tame for masked gunmen. And how many
tourists these days wear skirts? Maybe the Hotel had a safe deposit box, not in-room safes- which made the cash visible to the employees. But if a
hotel is setting up their own guests- Cabo is in serious trouble. Still- too many maybes...

Just for the record, I do not believe that anybody should be banned or any posts deleted, except where they are doing something clearly illegal or
just posting to be disruptive and not adding to the dialogue.
And for Donjulio and gnukid and the rest here who think I am all over this board on a Mission from God to right all wrongs, take a good look at my
posts. On most of the topics here I do not post at all. I think everybody is entitled to an opinion, and you rarely see me posting on an opinion
tread. If somebody says Tita's fish tacos are better than Juana's, you won't hear from me. It's just a matter of opinion which is better. If somebody
says Campo Pedo is a better place to camp than Campo Mierda, I don't comment. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If somebody says the fishing is
better at Punta Puta than at Puerto Pocho, it's not anything I'm concerned with.
But when somebody posts some crime statistics for a city in the US, without even telling us how many people live there and converting the crime rate
into a per capita rate for comparison, and then says Cabo is safer without posting even one single crime statistic on Cabo, that gets my attention.
That is just blowing smoke up somebody's burro. |
Well said, and I must agree... you do reserver your focus to issues which are based in "fact".. and we all know how that game gets played.. your get
your pile of facts and I get my pile of facts .... and now where are we... arguing the factual basis of the FACTS..
Brings back bad memories.. glad I'm retired and living in Baja..
But, thanks to all for the posts.. they are what makes it all go around.. good and bad..

Cabo sexual attack and robbery
Right on Woooosh!
What is the main engine driving the economy in the Los Cabos area? It is my understanding that tourism is. Therefore tourists should be protected and
treated like gold. It is just good business.
What happens everyday in our broken big cities full of crime should not be a comparison point with a quaint tourist destination.
Comparing with the lowest common denominator only gets you...the lowest.

Again we see the press villifying an entire country because of a crime that could and does happen all over the world every single day.
|
How should the story be treated? Or, would it be better to ignore it? |
I guess there's not a whole lot going on in Charlotte. If it were a couple from Miami or New York City, would it even be a story?
|
A robbery no. A gang sexual assault and robbery on a visiting tourist, yes. |

Not really wishing to quibble, but Los Cabos has not been quaint for at least a decade. Much to my personal chagrin.
