You think my head is buried in the sand, well to start with I have spent time in the La Paz jail and Prison and was treated very well, so I can speak
first hand. All this garbage you are spewing must just be one more chapter in your Novel as for me its no longer funny, if you are going to post this
garbage substantiate it, your saying it means nothing.

Someone (who shall remain nameless; I protect my sources!) pointed out to me
that the letters MP were the first characters on the page/article/reprint directly in front of the date & on the same line.

I just got back... It seems many many people have been hassled and extorted for large sums in recent days, which is why I have been called every night
to help, including obviously some of the wealthiest people here. Apparently the bad guys can't pay their bills, they're broke in La Paz and they are
going to rob every gringo who they think they can until the election when they will lose their job. The election is around super bowl feb 2,3,4.
We met with many people, its going down, but the issue is you can't stop them now, not until after the election so for the next week its going to be
crazy as it has been for the next ten days.
I will repost the article, if you want, but don't blame the messenger. You asked for names, photos etc... the people are willing to provide them but
without support from you Gringo Nomads it makes no sense to rally here. |
I have NO idea what you are talking about dude.
So far it has been private discussion between you and a couple of others.

"People are packing in droves to leave." Apologies that I am late on this one. I don't doubt that crime and corruption exist in La Paz.
Gnukid, you are free to post like all of us. But, for this level and amount of crime, isn't it fair for us to expect some journalistic
accountability?

Gnukid,
I can see why your writing has gotten people in a snit.
My first two days in La Paz I was pulled over on five occasions. I think they had a meeting after that and realized that since I had less than a
nickle to my name and drove an old Bronco that wasn't worth stealing, they dicided not to hassle me anymore Never was stopped again.
I moved from La Paz because I had a psyco landlady and couldn't stand the noise (horns honking all night and a rental club across the street in a
residential neighborhood that went with the subwoofers until 4am) ..... I basically got not one good nights sleep in three months.
Now I am in peaceful Todos Santos with a professional managing the rental I am in and am very happy.
I too like Tres Virgines and love the french bread that Les bakes there.

Looking for second source
In responsible journalism a reporter always has a confirming reliable source. Through the years I've come to know quite a few folks in the Los Cabos
and La Paz region. I'm about to build my second house in BAja Sur- in el Centenario. I talked on-line to quite a few folks in La paz over the last few
years and met a few of them in person, and have also traveled through La Paz , morning,noon and night.
Now I have three episodes described by Gnukid - the CCC strong arm, the local robber/drug dealer, and now whole- sale extortion by local cops- but
none of them have that valuable independent verification that responsible journalists require. No other harmed person has come forward and none of the
locals I personally know have a clue about what Gnukid is talking about. I read El Sud Californiano on-line every day and they love a juicy story- but
nothing on what Gnukid reports.
Before gnukid gets in an uproar- I don't say any of this didn't occur- but I go by the axiom-"verify before you repeat" so I can't repeat any of these
tales as I can't verify a single one of them. Anybody else have any personal information which supports Gnukid's version of the facts?? And I have to
wonder on a personal basis- how is one person involved in all these episodes and nobody else on this board knows about them??
Life is too short to drink bad wine

Responsible journalism... isn't that an oxymarooon ?
They just say "a confidential source" or "an unnamed white house spokesman" or some other such thing...
Isn't it all just hearsay ?
