Because those of us who live in la mision would like to believe it happened in Ensenada.

dissolving more than 300 bodies for a drug cartel, according to the Mexican federal Attorney General's Office."
Then why would they shoot up the police station? They play for the same team. |

Actually the UT reporters read this boad and one has even responded directly to me from it. It you write it here- they read it.

The timing was clearly a warning. That station is always empty that late. It is a few miles from La Fonda. Magana's is a mile north on the old road. I
have friends right near the station. Their kids are always in that area. Thank God it was at night, many people could have been killed, besides cops.
My wife and I shop right across the street at Mercado Oscar's. Hope this is a once in a decade event. I have seen the Army check points, but never
heard of any narco activity in La Mision. Smack dab in the middle of the gauntlet though. Now even a very peaceful La Mision is under fire. What is
next???

Impressive that you are in contact with the UT. Impressive, not surprising.

Still, it has more of an impact if they get emails directly from individuals in regards to the incorrect information in their head line. It's one
thing to go to the store and buy an apple, but it's another thing to have a truck load of them dumped on your driveway.

Whew, for many many years we made numerous treks to La Puerta de Fe, in La Mision.
Now we just duck our heads and keep trucking until we get down to at least Santo Tomas, and based on recent events in El Rosario, perhaps LABay is the
first safe place to look up.
Sad - very sad.

El Rosario did have that shooting a few months ago but I don't think it is fair to judge it based on that one (albeit tragic) event. I pass through
there all the time and I consider it to be as safe a place as any I travel to/through.
If we are going to avoid going to places that have had ANY violent crime then I suppose nobody is safe anywhere. And that includes
your home town back NOB.
I think we need to keep things in perspective...

As a long term, part time resident in La Mision, I still will feel safer in my little house in Mexico than I do here in O.C. Drugs, child molesters,
gangs, and your everyday kooks have me watching my back everyday.

The police found a dead gunshot victim in front of a Thai resturant in Garden Grove at 2am the other morning. Can never get away from random stuff.

I remember Garden Grove as a kid, full of orange groves and strawberry patches everywhere with a downtown that looked like it was right out of
Mayberry.
I passed through there a few weeks ago and can hardly recognize anything that was familiar decades ago...

Where exactly is this station? Is it on the free road between La Fonda and La Mision proper...? Or is it South of La MIsion bridge?

It doesn't mean they write about what they ask me about. They are inqusitive, not defensive at all. They do like the Nomad perspecive on issues only
we have fromrliving around the hot spots. We know and hear things they don't. I'm certain I'm not the only one they write to for
clarification/research on a topic or event.

Hey rdrrm8e,
It is on the free road in the actual ejido of La Mision...just past Maganas where you cross the river valley and head east through town.

Yep, right across the street for Oscar's Mercado,almost next door to Ernesto Reyes.You remember him Chuck. He and his son welded my boat trailer back
together.Kurt introduced us 8 years ago. Former presidente of the Ejido. La Mision is full of great people. I hope this is a isolated incident, I
truly consider La Mision my real home!! Yea Baja Gringo, we are not safe anywhere, even behind the Orange Curtain!!!

UT has contacted me a couple of times. After a few conversations I really believe that when they err/misrepresent a story it it more likely due to
ignorance than any specific agenda.
They are human and it happens. Even to a Nomad or two at times...

BG- Garden Grove has morphed into a strange polyglot. Population about equally distributed between Whites, Asians and Mexicans. No more citrus. Except
maybe a tree or two in someones back yard. But curiously, they still hold a strawberry festival each year. Have no idea where they could grow them.
Probably import them from Mexico.
