Since the beginning of 2010, the number of murders in TJ alone have been 3 to 4 per day. It's in all the papers where the total body count is reported. I'm not even adding in Mexicali, Ensenada or all the small towns.


AFTER Teos gang was eliminated, the murder rate went down 70%, that is a fact. Teo was responsible for most of the crimes, so its natural for the murder rate to go down after his arrest.

Jesse, we just have to learn to deal with the facts. I fail to understand why that is such a difficult concept.

In 2009, the city of San Diego had 41 homicides. In Tijuana, there were 664.

Since January 2010, Tijuana has already seen 174 murders.


664 murders in 2009 is 1.8 per day.
174 murders in 2010 in 55 days is 3.2 per day.

Blaming everything on Teo is a huge stretch- as if he was shooting at his own people. Narco trafficking is a growth industry in Mexico, not a crime pattern. Whack-a-mole.
