Mexico unrest following military taking out CJNG head “El Mencho”
Mexico unrest today following military taking out CJNG head “El Mencho”
A bit chaotic today in PV and Jalisco after el mencho whacked by military. CJNG burning vehicles in streets. Airport closed, flights cancelled,
people advised to shelter in place
Some spill over to other cities like TJ, where some cartel protests, and public transport shut down for safety…
Any reports from cabo and la paz?
Woke!
Hands off!

What a mess.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4wywnrdd8o
Eyewitnesses have filmed plumes of smoke rising over several cities including Guadalajara - one of the host cities of th the forthcoming Fifa World
Cup.
In the tourist hotspot of Puerto Vallarta, on the Jalisco coast, potentially thousands of tourists are trapped in the resort around the fighting.
Throughout Sunday, there were reports of gunmen on the streets in Jalisco and elsewhere.
The governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus Navarro, on social media advised residents of the state to adhere to a code red warning and avoid leaving their
homes.
He also said that public transport was suspended in the state.
The US State Department issued a shelter-in-place warning for US citizens in Jalisco State, Tamaulipas State, and areas of Michoacan State, Guerrero
State, and Nuevo Leon State.
Former US ambassador to Mexico and Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau described El Mencho on social media as "one of the bloodiest and most
ruthless drug kingpins."
He added that El Mencho's death was "a great development for Mexico, the US, Latin America, and the world".
The killing of El Mencho represents a victory for Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in her fight against the country's drug cartels.
It also could strengthen her relationship with US President Trump, who often has demanded more progress on security in Mexico.
However, if the security forces can't bring the situation under control quickly, the Mexican administration's victory may be overshadowed by the
cartel's violent response.
The Jalisco cartel has gained notoriety since it was formed in about 2010 for a series of attacks on security forces and public officials.
It has downed an army helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade, killed dozens of state officials, and has even been known to hang the bodies of its
victims from bridges to intimidate its rivals.

Source? As far as the news I have been reading, and the video I saw, they torched cars in the parking lot, not the store itself. Be careful about
believing every facebook and instagram post and reposting what could be rumor.

"Are there any reports of anyone being harmed?"
No. Cartel evacuated all the buses, taxis etc. before setting them on fire. Rumors of tourists or foreigners being killed are false. Cartel's fight
is with the govt. and police, not in their interests to kill ordinary people. But as people can be killed in crossfire, everyone being told to stay
home.

Why do you find it necessary to engage in personal attacks? What is wrong with you? Unless your friends and relatives in PV are standing in front of
Costco, they are getting the same news I am. Friends and relatives are not immune from spreading rumors.

Everyone was being told to stay home by the Mexican govt. hours before the DHS "ordered" Americans to.
