I don't know, Deno. Each situation can be different down here. In the states, it's automatic. Call the authorities.
Here, the authorities are not the same as in the states. In fact, this case has the authorities commiting the crime. Why would anyone be so foolish to call on a brotherhood of thieves and thugs to prosecute one of their own? It won't happen. In fact, it will only serve to worsen your problem, and the next time, they may not be so delicate.

If the victim has in the past denied the reality that many police are bad, they will have neglected to train their senses to discern what is happening at the moment. They can't tell a real cop from a fraud. They wouldn't know where to look for the clues.
He is also the fool who tells himself that all police are good and would be incapable of an atrocious crime against a citizen.

This is a different world with different rules and different players.


Agree DENNIS......but as I said "There are ways to fight the thugs.....quietly or outright in view".


You really can't do it effectively or safely. The next level would be to go to through the justice and judicial system- which clearly most Mexicans feel is a waste of time. They will go to authorities for smaller domestic-issue stuff- but there is a line that few would cross. You can't go to City hall either. The only way to win is to play their game and their game is to get the job done through a connection backed up with some serious cash. No one that comes to Mexico to retire in peace plays that game for long. You can't win it as a gringo- they will eat you up and spit you out. Mexicans need to clean their own neighborhoods. Mexicans are going through the same thing too. It is their problem to fix and it will be a sloppy repair at best in our lifetimes.

If the economic crisis in the USA took a decade of potential from America's young people, the narco crisis in Mexico took two from them. So far (for both)... jmho


???????

Wow.....talk about living in fear.

Unsigned letters.
Calls to local papers.
Mass groups.
Friends of friends that might help
And 20 more subtle ways to fight any game in town.

Doing nothing is just a lame game.

But again.....I'm Irish and we rather fight than kiss ass. I already had a issue or two in Mexico. Had many issues in San Francisco with the hoars of the Police Department and the Fire Department .....asking/demanding various payments to keep my clubs open...or to open. Didn't win every-time...but least I got off my ass and not let the bad guys run my life.


Matter of fact...are you involved with a fight down there in Rosarito? That takes guts.....and good for you!

Why didn't they arrest the drug dealer that lives across the street from the military post by the central plaza?
