I don't know if Russ is part of the HOA or not but feel confident he is pals with him.
Mr Bowers may have taken a "don't get involved" posture and just let it lie, other than passing the incident details to Russ.
Many people don't feel comfortable with spreading incidents they have been involved in and that in NO WAY makes them "stoneless"
It's highly insulting to claim a lack of stones, when you are totally clueless who the man is.
Do you really feel that Russ, with his stellar creds on this site, would relay what he felt as hyperbole and a sham story to stir hate and discontent
within this site?
Without a doubt, Russ has light years more creds than you Joe.
Your opinion is yours...take off the Joe Friday suit and rant on about how the establishment keeps their jackboots on your neck.

If Mr Bowers may have taken a "don't get involved" posture, then we should not get involved in his alleged incident

Yet here you are....involved up to your eyeballs in this incident.
pfff

If the victims are smart, they would ignore the internet critics and trolls.
Why does anyone here think the victim is obligated to post here?
Woke!

This site is so funny sometimes (always good for a laugh). I am beginning to wonder about any credentials just because your a long-term member
here...Seems to work in the reverse... People here get so personal with people they do not know on one of the most impersonal of items a keyboard
and monitor (or smart phone)

nomads lie about that?
As far as check points planting drugs, I expect it. I've been accused, at the infamous checkpoint, of having cannabis, which I didn't have. I
was sick, had a sick dog, windows rolled up, and had a couple pounds of roasted coffee in burlap sacks. Guess that smells like pot. They spent a
long time going through everything before giving up. They told my friend in a car behind me they smelled pot but couldn't find it.

You got to be kidding Lee, that you haven't seen any whoppers!
I'm not going to embarrass any member in the main area on "BN," but I could usually tell the BS from a mile away. One member of BN use to claim he
was ex-LE, but seemed to have no idea when a cop could use deadly force, but seem to know what probably cause was, however he was about clueless
reasonable suspicion, where cops often use to justify searches, but the public is usually unaware about reasonable suspicion.
It goes without saying Military Posers, are an epidemic, so much so, they tried to pass a "stolen valor" law a few years backs, only to have it
overturned on free speech grounds, by the Supreme Court.
Please don't ask why would Nomads lie about that. I see this type of question a lot, and my answer is always, they make up stories about themselves
for various reasons, and since the internet is largely anonymous, they can claim anything.
Here is a headline, about military posers, and believe me, you see LE posers on forums, and group sites all the time. You also see when when a debate
is taking place, sometimes members claim special status of working in the certain field where the debate is taking place.....it's like they are
saying, "stand back, I'm the expert here."
Military Posers Are 'An Epidemic,' Says Soldier Who Outs Them
So Lee, when you pass a check point you expect them to plant something on you? That sounds a little paranoid, however, I don't expect things to be
planted on me, but I'm always on high alert, and always watching my belongings and them.
So I really don't need to hear alleged stories online.

And yet several days later, after the original post.......you're STILL here sucking it all in.
Just resign from here.....do us all a favor.
Now you beating up the Vets......major assumptions about some stolen valor and reasonable suspicion......a full Joe Friday detective you make Joe.
What a pimp......

Michael Bowers, one of the victims, has posted a report of the incident on TalkBaja.
The difference between the post and the one that was taken down a couple of days ago is that this post comes directly from one of the victims. The
original was relayed to and posted by someone else and had all names removed.
Bowers is responding to questions.

Yeah what happened, Mike Bowers, posted his alleged report on the "Punta Chivato,site on Facebook, However, I don't see where Mike Bowers, is
answering anyone's question, other than just posting the alleged incident. ( Oh I see he now answered two questions)
It looks like Kathleen and others asked Mike Bowers, to post his own report on "Talk Baja" because Ron, wanted a first hand report, and not a 3rd
party report.
Hopefully, JoeJustJoe, helped shaming Mike Bowers, to actually post his own report, and you members on "Baja Nomad" made Ron, think twice of adding
this alleged incident report, so much so, that Ron, pinned this report to always show up first for awhile anyway.
Sadly, panic is now going over at "Talk Baja" over this alleged incident, told by Mike Bowers, oh well.
______________
From Punta Chivato, Facebook site.
"Kathleen Flick Mike, can you please post this on Talk Baja page as Ron Hoff asked me if you would after I messaged him about your experience?
Thanks, Kathleen Flick.."
Ron's post: ( let me throw up)
"Thanks Mike, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your report here with us. We all need to take precautions and be prepared.
Don't let them distract you, stay close to your vehicle and make a point to let them know you are watching them closely when searching your vehicle.
Seems like that checkpoint in particular is a big problem..."

After reading panicking posts, including a sexual battery allegation, at other Mexican check points, Ralph, finally asks a good question of Mike
Bowers:
____________________________________________
Ralph Schoneman Michael Bowers Can you tell us why you did not report this? The number is right there in front of you on the board.
________________
___
Mike's answer:"Ralph, I'm not sure why you think I should explain myself to you. I've explained this in the post. Also I'm not sure the tone
doesn't imply we did something wrong, which we didn't. Now we are home safely, we have reported it. Is that not enough?
_____________
JJJ says no it's not enough, and why are you defensive? Who did you report it to, and what did they say, and do you have a copy of your report?
Mike did not explain it in the original story, like he told Ralph, or on the follow up questions at TB.

Don't know what world your from Ged, but that is a direct slam at every Vet, who must all be involved in a "epidemic" of false stories according the
Joe.
Very sad you missed that....

This check point sounds like it is maned with meth amphetamine addicts.
What became of the guy from Oregon with the broken arm and the 16 year old daughter? Attacked at the check point.
Were the above problems at night?

Nice try DaliDali, to try to get the "Baja Nomad" Military Veterans, to dislike JoeJustJoe.
As it is, I don't think I'm too popular with the veterans anyway, however, my post was about "Military Posers, and perhaps, you DailDali, do not know
the meaning of the word, Poser."
I'm talking about people, who claim, they were in the US Military, and they usually claim they were in some type of special forces, like the Navy
Seals, when in fact they really were not in the military at all, or if they were in the military they embellished their status, and in some cases
doctored their DD-214.
I'm pretty sure, real military veterans, dislike military posers, who steal valor, as much as me. Believe it or not, but military posers, and fake
LE(cops) are everywhere, including forums.

DD,
Okay....I will type a bit slower for you....the posers are those who "falsely claim to have served when they have not....and/or falsely represent
their service"....not those serving and presenting themselves respectfully.
I am in no way trying to discredit vets or those in the forces....stop mis-editing or twisting my words to suit your swill. 
Don't believe everything you think....

Vet posers do exist..... those of us who did serve run into them all the time. A few well-placed Q's with 47 year's experience flushes 'em out purty
EZ. REMF's, usually. We have a doozy here at our VFW... the guy is also former LE (part-timer on our tiny force of a few) and also a sadistic
big-bad-bully that loves to intimidate people. Sounds kinda like.....
Nevermind.

Thank you for acknowledging that I am a "reasoned" traveler....
And the word "epidemic" really isn't the main issue here now, is it....
