As if this sort of random crime doesn't happen all over the world, including in the US.
There is virtually no way to prevent it unless we choose the become a total lock down society where you are scanned and searched everywhere.
The incident to which Blanca refers is really only important if it recurs over and over.
Otherwise, just go live your life.

It does happen everywhere. I want to hear about it so I am aware of the possibilities. Life in the big city...as the saying goes.

Sure does make for a tough decision to stop and help a broken down vehicle. Accidents, if we are among the first ones on scene or there is
rescue/medical needs, we always stop. I guess it's all going to fall back on that all important "does it feel right?"

When I traveled by bus on the mainland last year, some bus-lines took video of each passenger and asked for identification....and I think one place
used a metal detector for all passengers as they boarded the bus....this was between Mexico city and Michoacan.
Good security measures....
The old "car broke down" is always a risk...
Sad to hear that it happened.
Don't believe everything you think....

Wow, who appointed you in charge of what people post? Wow!

Never take wasp spray to a gunfight. |
Sound advice, but when a guy brings a gun to innocent people, I prefer to have something for defense and an offense.

Rec'd from La Paz Gringo group today:
Hello everybody, I contacted the person who posted first this news here on the blog.
I don't publish her data for privacy respect but she owns owns a hotel at Todos Santos and she replied to me the following:
Dear Claudia
I am also very concerned about this assault as many of our hotel guests travel by bus.
In fact, just 5 minutes ago I received a phone call from one of the co-owners of EcoBajaTours-Aguila, Diego Sanchez Diaz and he is very concerned
about this situation, even more though as nobody informed him about this incident. But he promised me that he will personally take care and
investigate and get in contact with our hotel guest that was one of the passengers on the bus that got assaulted.
I replied to her asking if her Guest did noticed the Police or not, as until now no media are aware about this fact!
So, will see if more news come out....
Claudia

There is zero evidence this happened, nor eyes witness and the person who reported it second hand has no facts. Until evidence exists, this did not
happen as reported.

The best response to bad news that upsets you: deny and ignore.
Works every time, as long as you keep your head buried in the sand.

Everyday, all kinds of trouble but there is no evidence, report, nothing about this story anywhere but heresay from one person Beatrice who wasn't
there. If it were true then there would be many victims, many reports, many denuncias, police reports, news, something, not nothing.
Are we to believe, the bus was robbed and then no one called the police or any report except they called Beatrice and gave her a report? There would
be a report by any one of the victims.
The road from la Paz to Todos Santos is no longer a little road it is a multilane hi way with regular traffic. There are many types of police and
military there, fed, state, city, military.

Maybe the victims did call the police and the police forgot to tell you.
Maybe the victims did not call the police, because they think (know) the police rarely do anything.
Maybe it never made it into the news media.
Maybe there was a cover up.
Why are you so insistent in saying it never happened?
