Do you happen to have any links to prove that up? Please keep your reputation intact and fail to respond to my exact request for you to supply proof of your claim.


Just as I suspected, you failed to support your rants regarding my posts. You are what you are - a blowhard with nothing to back what you write.

Perhaps that arrow in your head has kept you from hearing about three generations of a family being shot to death in Orange County. Perhaps that arrow in your head has kept you from hearing about children in Long Beach, San Fernando valley and Los Angeles being shot and killed in the cross fire in the last two weeks. Perhaps that arrow in your head has kept you from hearing about a recent mass killing at a Texas Army base, last month.

I leave you to dig through the world wide web for these events. I don't have the time to provide you extra reading material. You appear to have lots of time, since you rummaged through hundreds of my posts over the last few years and did not come up with any support for your "claims" regarding me.

Perhaps that arrow in your head has finally moved to a spot where you have lost all persepective about human life.

Perhaps that arrow in your head has created this seething degradation in regards to Baja that you and Whiish need to display on a regular basis. You are pathetic and you two belong together - regular bookends of spite.

Does it make you feel more like a big man when you perform your juvenile "piling on" atop the misfortune of the poor and getting poorer in Baja? Does it give you what you can't get from normal adult interface?

OK Gull. You couldn't find anything in the US about heads lined up alongside the highway, or nude bodies hanging from bridges, organized crime gangs that control large swaths of territory and a lack of sovereignty, so you bring up a few examples of the typical love triangle fights, broken marriages gone bad and lunatic jihadist and try to tell us the US is worse than Mexico. The you went on for a few paragraphs of ad hominem attacks on me because you could not produce a cogent argument. I don't know, maybe that style always worked for you at Rene's Sports Bar after a few Pacifico's, and you are just frustrated when you can't get your vacuous debating style to work out in the real world.

Dropping down to name-calling in lieu of an intelligent debate is just a surrender to the superior forces.

Mexican cops train for tourist police force

Three cities plan to launch effort in the spring

By Sandra Dibble
December 19, 2009

TIJUANA — The creation of a Metropolitan Tourist Police spanning the cities of Tijuana, Rosarito Beach and Ensenada is being launched in April with the aim of winning back the confidence of foreign vacationers to Baja California.

With the kickoff still months away, a group of 22 municipal police officers from the three cities was honored in San Diego yesterday for completing a daylong course offered by the San Diego Police Department.

The officers say they benefited from instruction in a range of topics, including patrol tactics, gangs, ethics and how to interact with U.S. tourists.

“Visitors need to know that there is someone who is there for them on the other side of the border,” said Giovanni Malinchrynni, one of 24 members of the existing Rosarito Beach tourism police. “We want to take away the bad image that people have about crossing the border.”

The plan is to create a single force that will grow to as many as 350 officers. They will specialize in assisting tourists who come to visit beaches, restaurants and shops on the corridor that runs from Tijuana to Ensenada. Although drawn from the different police forces, the officers will share a common uniform and coordinate enforcement strategies, including issuing a bilingual traffic ticket.

The metropolitan force will be launched at the traditional opening of the Baja California tourist season, when U.S. spring break visitors mingle with Mexican semana santa travelers.

Julian Dominguez, an assistant chief in Tijuana who took the course, said the initial area of focus for the police will be major roads where tourists travel, including Tijuana’s Avenida Internacional Bulevar 2000, and the toll road from Tijuana to Ensenada. Eventually, he said, the force will span all the tourist areas, such as Avenida Revolucion in Tijuana and Rosarito Beach’s Benito Juarez Boulevard.

The region’s tourism industry has been hit hard in recent years by factors that include violence and police corruption. Local promoters say that tourists have not been targeted by the violence, much of which is drug-related, and say municipal forces have made efforts to root out corruption.

Dominguez said the course was useful in reinforcing previous knowledge, but also allowing the agencies to work together more closely. The idea is that the graduates will return to their own departments and instruct other officers.

“In eight to 10 hours, you don’t learn everything,” Dominguez said. “We came to coordinate among ourselves, and learn about certain things that the U.S. visitors want.”

I still haven't been able to determine if the class was given in English or Spanish.

Who cares what you determine?

At least they are doing something in the community - whether it is working to your satisfaction - matters not.
