Highway Robbery
From the Western Onion:
Aguila Bus Assaulted 17 May From La Paz To Todos Santos - The 1 pm bus leaving La Paz was assaulted by 2 young men with guns and 2 other young men
waiting in the car, that they parked kind of in the highway just outside of La Paz, pretending they had a technical problem. They stole jewelry, cash
and technical devices such as computers, phones, etc. from every passenger. - Beatrice
*****************************************************************
This is very scary news indeed! I just took the bus with the college scholarship girls not two weeks ago. I would have been devastated had my ipad
been taken. I think this is one good reason to support those guys washing cars, or selling stuff on the steets or peddling in a restaurant. It saves
us from this kind of danger. Better to try and make an honest living. We bought a palm rose from a guy yesterday, I will post a picture later as it
is exquisite.

Well, that is not good news for tourism! Hope the authorities control it before it (hwy robbery) becomes common.
I went to read news on the onion, and see website has not been updated since March. You sure this is news? Or is it old news new to you?
Onion go out of business?
Not sure buying chiclets from street vendors is the solution...

I don't think the Baja Western Onion is old news. I get a daily digest, and all but the ads is always new.

I don't know the MX law so I am asking; if a victim on the bus was able to overpower the robber and kill him, would that person be prosecuted?

One Dog X Six Years = 67,000 More Dogs - One cat X seven years = 420,000 more cats. Those are real numbers. The only answer is spay and neuter - the
ONLY answer.
The fund to assist local Mexican residents of Todos Santos with these surgeries is almost bone dry. We have many more months before we can expect
another clinic - which means many more unwanted dogs and cats. Our local vets give a discount but they must be paid for their work. Can you help? Any
donation, no matter how small, will help. Tax deductible donations can be made on our web site through PayPal - bajarescue.org and Kate at El Tecolote
book store will accept payments in cash or by check. Thank you for helping to make Todos Santos a community with animals who are loved and wanted. --

A few yrs. back, a Bus was robbed by C Constitution.
Read an account of a TJ resident getting involved in
stopping a robbery, the robber then sued/ or the good
samaritain was charged with injuring the robber. Straying a bit, a cruise ship stopping in
a port in Costa Rica, some folks from the ship shopping
ashore were robbed at gunpoint, a member of the group
came up from behind the robber, had him in a choke hold, the robber dies as a result, local police rendered a verdict
on the spot, justifiable

Middle of the night, tep-son was on a bus from TJ to Cabo, stopped by military. Everyone was told to get off the bus while they searched. When he
returned to the bus he went back to sleep, but when he checked, all of his $$ had been taken. Assumed it was by the soldiers!

Yes, it's today's issue of the Baja Western Onion (issues come out on Tuesdays and Fridays)
Would be nice to have more info. What does "they parked kind of in the highway" mean? Were the bad guys partially blocking the road? Why did the
bus driver stop? I tried to look up (online) back issues from the weekend of a couple of BCS newspapers, but had no luck - could only get today's
issue.

It would depend on who the dead scumbag was related to.

Gulliver, It was long but surely not a big deal? I personally prefer to see the writing and not have to click again. Personal preference is all.

Please, clarification of "scumbag". Children of the Corn or familia del Gobernador. Too bad Dirty Harry wasn't aboard! By now, they must have
caught these Crystalistas! How many of us travel with "protection"--I carry Wasp Spray to soothe their eyes! Prolly had no bullets. Tio
