Just an Observation.
I keep reading lines here that, in effect say "Watch your surroundings", "Know where you are", Don't make stupid mistakes". I wonder, could I over
power 100 armed men? or outrun 40 vehicles? I pretty much can handle most all situations that occur. But....100 guys? Where's Jackie Chan when you
really need him?

NOT!
These boys don't play fair. By the weekend I expect this place to be a ghost town.
I should have listened to my Mexican friends who warned against encouraging the local mafi..(er) cops who frequent the deli.
And I don't even serve doughnuts. 
Now, how do I get rid of them? Bernie?

I can probably pick those 30 cars from Google earth sitting here at my computer, i wonder why none of the thousands of Tijuana and Rosaritos cops
noticed 100 armed men driving around the city
Folks, as many of you know, all of Mexico is in a cartel war since a few years ago, mainly the Sinaloa cartel vs the Gulf cartel, the 1st tried to
take over the seconds territory but where stopped cold by a group of special operations soldiers that defected from the Mex military to join the gulf
cartel. After losing a couple hundred hit men in their attempt to take over Nuevo Laredo, the Sinaloa cartel started hiring gang members from the
notoriously violent Mara salvatrucha, a central american street gang. What did the gulf cartel do? they hired ex members of el Salvador's elite
paramilitary death squads, the kaibiles. Anyways, Tijuanas cartel as set up alliances with both the gulf and the Juarez cartels to counter the Sinaloa
cartel.
I have to admit these kinds of things are worrisome, but the reality is, that unless your in that business or sell sandwiches to local cops, you have
nothing to worry about.

It's against my religion but are you saying that I'll be OK if I were to give them away?
How about a (small) discount instead?

I am not sure, those pastrami sandwiches can create a lot of trouble.

Life?s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Goodnight, all.

Bruce, I know you don't believe Elvis is dead until you see the body.
However......
read this article in today's LATimes.
They think it happened.
And so do I.
And Rosarito Beach can kiss its economy goodbye if Mexico does not get a handle on this.

Dave/Jesse
Dave, have you noticed that I always come by early in the morning to miss the uniform rush.....just got out of there, last time, before that uniform
brushed past you to get his?????????
I'm sure that they will not bother you as long as you don't run out of those great sandwiches. Just don't let them get into your wife's
desserts....you'll be a goner then.
PS....Don't tell anybody but I hear the Mossad is having a garage sale.....you just might find what you need for self-defense.
Jesse,
Are you saying that your local guys are no longer outsoursing hit jobs to the San Diego street gangs?

I told my buddies, at the garage, about this yesterday and they all had no sympathy for the 4 officers. Most thought that they were part of another
gang. Some even thought that the 100 armed men were locals, peeed off at the corrupt police and taking vigilanty action.
Bernie is correct when he says that this happens more often than most of us think. We just don't here about it. The black helicopters showed up in San
Felipe last winter, right after a military patrol got in a gun battle with drug runners, and lost. It was kept very quiet. Many of the locals didn't
even know about it.

Not sure how we can conclude......
....that the victims were involved with the drug cartels.
In both accounts I read, it seemed like they were simply the first officers to show up. One was even a civilian. A little outmanned, to say the least.
Seems more like a statement being made than any intentional hit; what with the headless corpses. But what were they massing for, anyway? There must
have been some other activity they were running protection for, unless they were hoping to draw out the entire Rosarito police force.
Ah, Mexico.......use your military to search vacationing gringos at clearly defined checkpoints but send your city police up against paramilitary drug
cartels. As if the cartels run stuff through the checkpoints, anyway......
If I was the investigator on this, I'd want to know what commander sent those guys on that call so unprepared, given the numbers reported in the
initial call. That might look rather suspicious.

What do you suggest we bring down, Dave, to match the firepower of 70 guys with AK-47s? 
I think I'll emulate a chameleon and bring something down that seems to protect those close to the action.
Maybe a Hobart meat slicer.............????

Amazed
Did anyone read the two links I provided on something that is far scarier than four cops getting their hair parted.
That is American gangs who are enlisting in the Marines so that they can learn new weapons and military tactics that no police department can stand up
against.
Talk about heads in the sand.
