Only verified news I can locate is US government warnings citizens to shelter in place in a limited number of Mexican states. Nothing I can find
indicates any state close to us in Oaxaca has suffered violence or destruction. If you have verifiable news that disagrees with this, please post the
links. Jalisco, Nayarit and a very few others seem to be the only seriously affected states til now, and the security forces appear to be gaining the
upper hand there.
Here’s the formal list from US govt at present for those like us that might be in Mexico at present

Let's be real, this is the terrible stuff that can happen when citizens are forced to give up their guns.
Criminal gangs terrorize the population and ordinary citizens have no way to defend themselves.

I really can’t afford the cost to buy a few rocket launchers and a helicopter to take on the criminals here so I think I will let the army and
security forces handle it this time around. But in any case on the Main Street I am looking out on, taxis are running as normal and tourists seem to
be eating, enjoying the bands playing and acting quite normal. I think we will survive the night as long as we watch our tequila intake.

Idiot. That's all we need, a bunch of panicked ordinary citizens running around shooting guns, making law enforcement actions more difficult.Keep your
effin' gun culture and fear mongering to yourself, no one else wants it.
The violence was not directed towards ordinary citizens. Only shooting was between cartel and cops. Bunch of vehicles torched, cartel ordered all
passengers out of buses, taxis, etc. and told them to clear out, before setting the vehicles on fire. Chaotic, scary for those near the action,
inconvenient for those whose plans and flights wete disrupted, and lots of property damage, but no ordinary citizens, tourists or foreigners were
hurt.

Maybe if you cared more about humans than living cheaply in a warm climate we'd take you seriously. You only care about you at the end of the day,
but love to cast rocks at others.
Plus you are a known racist. Any minority that disagrees with your radical agenda is a "token black" person. Shame on you.

Wow, an entire post filled with nothing but lies. You should apply for a job with DHS.

They burnt a church?! 
You sure that photo's not an A.I. production?

According to this article, it's fake. What's now known as "AI Slop".
https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2026/02/fact-check-image-...
A Google Image Search indicates that the image appears only on social media. It hasn't appeared on any news websites included in the search.
------------------------------
So, in addition to all the violence, I'm sure killing El Mencho has diminished the drug smuggling problem. 
Whack-a-mole.

Church burning did appear a bit over the top even for CJNG. They keep trying to position themselves as the true Protectors of Mexico. By violent
retribution of course, and please ignore their sources of funding.

Source? As far as the news I have been reading, and the video I saw, they torched cars in the parking lot, not the store itself. Be careful about
believing every facebook and instagram post and reposting what could be rumor.

Confirmed false. They torched cars in the parking lot, not the store itself. Not a great idea to post something someone told you, as if it were a
fact, if it hasn't been confirmed by other reliable sources.

Right.
Next question: is it safe to drive down Baja?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
