If there were a way to have a gun in Mexico I would have one.......so I have 3 dogs....one being a staffordshire terrier just in case I need a weapon.
I will not put myself in harms way for the bastards that sneak up on you in the night and harm you. It makes me sick to think of such tragedy
happening.....and I too am meaner then a junk yard dog myself when threatened.....thanks for the post.....I give prayers for the ones who where so
unfortuntate......

I guess my first response would be :
WTF
I am shocked to say the least that I was not informed earlier of the heinous assault(s) Bruce reported here. I am feeling very uneasy right now.

SHARKS you didn't hear ANYTHING while there?
Seems that people of Mulege don't tell each other to watch out and be prepaired!
Who's interest is it, to keep it covered!

Just a thought....I would keep an eye out for Tattooed Mexicans, that do not speak Mexican.

Bruce, thank you for posting! I am so sad to see this happen in Mulege. I have to say that I have always felt that the most dangerous part of our
trip to Mulege has been making it through LA. We have always taken every precaution, locking things down and putting stuff up every night in camp as
we know petty theft can happen. (any where) That kind of violence against tourists was stuff that until now I had only read about happening up in
Northern Baja. (of course, I guess its stupid to think that bad people cant travel) We live in a very remote peaceful area (but rainy in Jan.)
That’s why we have traveled all the way to the tip of Baja and the last 3 years have made our destination Mulege for the full vacation, as we love
the relaxed pace. We have found it to be the best beaches for our children. Any other details someone wants to U2U me would be appericated.  ( I have some of the same questions as BajaBus; location, secluded etc.) I havent
posted much over the years but I have watched the board for years and appericate greatly all of you who post.
This is diffently the last thing that Mulege needed right now with all that has happened with the flooding.
Thanks.... Carrol

yeah - WITH 2 VICTIMS already, they did very well!
Nothing against their good will - but thats just not enough.
And people are kept without information, Sharks didn't hear anything and he was THERE, so did others who LIVE there.
Sorry, but I can't see that Skeet!
MAYBE Nomads should spread the NEWS by U2U to those,who are in the same area, (or about to go there) so they KNOW for WHAT/WHOM to look out!
So it wouldn't warn lurkers here.
And wouldn't expose those who give that information!
OR go to the CHATROOM.

Hi!
to all of you there
Have you ever lived in a big city??.... just follow the same security rules and you will have no troubles at all... It's a shame to mention this but
looks like the kind of progress price to pay for this small and no ready yet for "development" towns

I'm not saying more. |
I do understand your point - you got to protect yourself and Family, no need to expose yourself.
I hope that those I know in Mulege, are safe and INFORMED. That is my biggest concern. There must be a way to communicate within the community in such
events. To spread the word.
Makes me sick - that one has to fear not only the criminals, also the officials ( even more).

NO need to be sorry about your smiley - it fits perfectly. mulegeloco!!
AND I do live in a BIG city - no tourists gets hacked here with a Macheta, or is murdered in his RV on an campingsite, by night, without anybody to
hear about it within HOURS. No ONE gets problems because he speaks about it!!
What angers me is not the sheer crime - NO- its that people are not ALLOWED to TELL without to fear consequences.

Mulegeloco has it right. Baja Sur is following the path of the rest of the world. Progress brings both good and bad. I like others are shedding
tears over the current affairs, events that didn't seem to happen in this little paradise. We all have to accept that crime and its consequences is a
certainty we will all face eventually both at home and in Baja.
Will I stop coming down to Baja....NO!! We are coming down to Mulege next week, and will continue to come down. We will just be prepared a little
differently than in the past.

Mulege is a small town, its not like northern baja where criminals can hide in a city of 3 million. If these things are happening, whats going on with
the Police over there? it doesnt seem to me this is anything more than regular criminals to me, so why arent they doing their job?

Do you remember tree people shooted at La Paz downtown time ago?? Do you know what happened????... me neither. If that happens in La Paz, what could
we expect from Mulege with only 8 uniformed policemen.....they will certainly like to have a 3 million people city resources too.....

EXACTLY!! The local police may be wondering just how connected some of their local crooks are to the cartels. As a result, they are reluctant to do
much, after reading about cops in TJ, Rosarito, etc.
