During WWII, the Judenräte were administrative bodies that the Germans required Jews to form in the German occupied territory of Poland, and later in
the occupied territories of the Soviet Union.
With the formation of ghettos, these Judenräte were forced by the N-zis to provide Jews for use as slave labor, and to assist in the deportation of
Jews to extermination camps during the Holocaust.
Now look again at the gringo ghettos in Baja and the Ron Raposa's of the world.

I agree. This is a bit extreme. Besides, isn't Raposa's focus on BSing the tourists rather than the Chicken Coopers?

So...The master plan is to staff the maquiladoras with gringos... Then exterminate them?
This could work

If Torres had a magic wand, waived it, and eradicated all crime in Rosarito, fact is that tourism doesn't stand to ever return to historic levels.
People continually fail to understand the impact of US citizen's low rate of passport possession. Rosarito was a weekend getaway for many folks of
limited means, college kids, etc. No visa required. Possess a photo ID such as a drivers' license and you were golden. Same would apply to the
historic numbers of day-trippers to TJ.

Chicken Coopers. That's a new one. I think Raposa's focus is helping Hugo sell those $300 -$500K chicken coo....er, condo's to the tourists.

The point is that when this happens to gringos it makes noise.
Mexican on Mexican crime isn't a public relations problem. |
Yes, he held a meeting almost two weeks after the carjacking event, which has never been in print or on the net, as far as I can determine. So what
happened- did anyone go to the meeting to get the explanation? Not even a reporter?

Arrowhead-
You need psychiatric help-
Comparing Torres and Raposa to war criminals is nuts.
You are nuts, or drunk or taking to much perscription drugs.
Tone down your intake by half. And for Christs sake stop smoking pot!

Put a sock in it corny. You're the one orbiting beyond Pluto most of the time.
In the meantime....
82-year old Gringo tied up, beaten and robbed in Rosarito
An 82-year old American was beaten, tied up with electrical wires and robbed in his home in Rosarito. The robbers stayed in the house with him tied-up
for more than a day and then took off in his car.

That really sucks. Poor guy. I wonder if he needs help in some way. He could be all alone.

Sick, very sick people. This isn't cartel crap.

Oh, come on, no need for that. Where do remarks like that come from?
Plenty of good people live in Rosarito, no need to make them feel worse by slamming their hometown.
Two guys in San Diego were just sentenced for kidnapping and beating up an 80 something old lady and throwing her in the truck of her car. It happens
everywhere.
Perhaps tonight in Punta Banda.

Did you read the comments posted on the AFN story?
How can you blindly defend Rosarito when the crime news coming out of it is blocked from the USA media? They have formally been threatened not to
issue "security alerts". How many crimes like this happen every day? Every minute? We do not know and will not know- yet they want us to come to
Rosarito Beach to buy houses, condos and eat lobster!
I did read about that poor old lady and saw her on the Today show. The thugs who did this to her knew her, were caught and received two life
sentences- not roaming free as these criminals are now among us in Rosarito. Maybe if this man's story was on the Today show- things in Rosarito
would change. As long as Rosarito is a tourist destination for Americans- visitors should have access to the information they need to decide FOR
THEMSLEVES what is safe, not Mayor Torres.
No worries for Rosarito- Sandra Dibble and the UT won't report this either! She said she was interested in and would report any crime directed
specifically at Americans/tourists in Rosarito Beach, but is not true to her word. The proof is that nothing has been printed about the carjackings
and this man's confinement.

The crimes were reported in the Mexican media. The fact that they weren't picked up by U.S. sources is whose responsibility,
exactly?
And just how would you expect Rosarito or it's mayor to enforce a threat against anyone?
A lifetime ban on lobster dinner at Puerto Nuevo?

Now...This is no lie. I heard the restauranteurs in Puerto Nuevo are starting to save the gutted shells of the lobsters. Word has it that they'll
soon be stuffing them with squid meat, flavored and pressed by a special machine made in China. They say the flavor resemblence is uncanny [which I
think means it can't be canned].
The Puerto Nuevo Marketing Association flattly denys this with an addendum, "Anyway, squid meat is good and good for you."
They also say prices will soon drop fifteen percent to entice an even more robust tourist market. Outside experts say that will be a sign the switch
has been made.
Dave.....Are you going to be serving the new Squidster?

First, let me assure you no one is coming down to pay $25 for a frozen lobster dinner in this economy. Why do you think Ortegas opened a San Diego
location?
The two recent carjackings were not reported by the Mexican or USA media anywhere as far as I can tell. No report in the UT of the 82 year old who
got tied up, held captive and beaten yesterday either...
What good does Spanish language crime reports in Mexican papers do a family planning a baja vacation? They are pushing hard to change the image of
Rosarito by blocking the US Media and sailing clubs from reporting crimes ("security Alerts". That is a fact they aren't ashamed to announce:
"In an effort to reverse the poor image of Baja California, Tijuana particularly with respect to security, the Secretaria de Turismo del Estado
(SECUR) has prepared the implementation of two new strategies: To move directly against anyone who generates alerts and to begin a political campaign
with the help of the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores(SER).
I do agree it is no one responsibility to report anti-American crime in English to Americans. Using that standard- there would be no newspapers at
all. The ONLY one who took crime reporting seriously in Rosarito in English for Americans was the Gringo Gazette- and they drove her out of town.

Perhaps this is at least to some extent the chickens coming home to roost in the lengthy recession combined with the deportations Southbound and the
drying up of Northbound immigration. There have been other threads containing discussion about the seeming incongruity of decreasing crime in time of
economic hardship. Maybe we're witnessing the more long term effect.

I don't doubt the ability to convert squid to somethingthat looks and tastes like lobster. They already do the same with surimi crab- that fake crab
meat no one mistakes for the real thing.
I was once approached by a meat vendor representing a company that had a product (called fibrix) that turned meat scraps from trimming back into whole
meat cuts- almost distinguishable from a real fresh cut of beef. They thought we would like something like "bullseye steak" which looked like a slice
of prime rib with a round pork center. They thought it would give us a marketing advantage and it would have cut our food costs to amounts in the
$Millions per year.
It almost cost me my job- but I held fast to a "parts is parts" defense. It's was a matter of public trust. Personally, I like a steak charred
black on the outside and cold on the inside (Philadelphia style). If it's a fresh-cut piece of meat, I trust the cold center to not have been
contaminated. With a Fibrix steak- it would look the same, but the inside would have been open to contamination from a number of sources and it
wouldn't be cooked high enough to kill the pathogens. Not good. So we said no thanks...
We also had some Swiss idiots from Nestle come in to offer whipped beverage machines- remember those Orange Julius kiosks in malls? Nestle thought
their best product was a whipped Iced Tea. Who would drink whipped Iced Tea? They didn't last long in the room with me that day...
But I'm not sure a Puerto Nuevo lobster restaurant has the same focus on quality and food safety a US fortune 500 hospitality company does.
