Tio Lupe's
I had lunch today at Tio Lupe's restaurant. I alerted him to this thread, and he believes it is untrue. His current bartender has been with him 15
years and has not been accused of anything like this before. Lupe is in the restaurant every afternoon and evening and has no recollection of any
abandoned dinners or beers in the past few weeks. Lupe Ortiz and I have been friends for 30 years, and if he has dishonored himself in any way during
that time I have not heard of it.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

Without analysis of both alleged victims blood and a third party (neutral) witness there's little here other than a rumor mill. If I was drugged by a
food vendor I'd sure as hell have the blood work done so I knew what I was given and to substantiate my complaint. A formal complaint would be made.

When tourists visit Baja and go fishing they are often unaware of dehydration, the result is that they become easily drunk and often do not have the
ability to reason clearly. This is one possible explanation for the situation.

controlled substance? To what end?
The guy who isn't earning much would have to buy the alleged "rohypnol" and have it at the ready to slip a mickey to some random American tourist??
This scenario makes no sense to me. |
Sure a man who make almost nothing except tips in that situation would , its a oppurtunity to make a little extra, especially when in partner ship
with the taxi driver , who also is hurting

Bajamatic was wrong to use the word ''Roofie'' though that's the drug that might be thought of for spiking a drink.
It was probably something else -- what I don't know. Lots of drugs out there.
Bajamatic is fairly specific in describing what happened to these gringoes and I believe his version of what went down. I think a drink was
spiked. Why? Don't know but I'm sure there was a reason.
If I was a bartender and didn't like someone's attitude, I'd spike their drink -- just messing with their head.
Now, I've never spiked a drink, so don't get me wrong. I'm just saying I could do it.
I'm guessing nothing like this has happened at Lupe's before. If I were the gringoes involved, I'd not return to this place.
No real harm done. It's not like someone died.

If you lived in Loreto and knew what a really small town Loreto is, you would probably think differently. The taxistas in town are a small, tight knit
group of guys. Everybody knows everybody's business here.
The "bad bartender/taxi driver accomplice" conspiracy is just too much of an "escandalo" for the local boys to pull off, in my opinion. I certainly
could be wrong, I've only spent 25 years here. 
Just saying.
