Translation
Very rough, literal translation from BabelFish... but it helps those of us who are Spanish-challenged understand a bit more:
With the intention to massacre to the High Commands of Beach the Municipal Police of Rosarito, a armed commando entered the facilities of the
Direction of Municipal Public Security and opened fire against all, the officials repelaron the aggression. Guillermo I castrate Crown, escort of the
Director of Municipal Public Security, passed away at the time of facing the armed group, also the escort, Leonel Pizaña Trip, as well as two
civilians, were wounded, wounded who is not of consideration. According to same the personnel of the Municipal Police, around the 12:45 hours of the
aggressors arrived yesterday at the facilities of the Direction of Security on board of four light trucks, lowered armed with rifles of assault, they
were introduced and they begun to shoot. Who were inside the facilities, they indicated that in all sides there were bullet impacts, but was evident
that the attack went directed to the High Commands then its offices were destroyed completely. After the aggression, the armed group approached the
light trucks again and fled, leaving them to little distance of the command, a GMC Yukon, two Chevrolet Tahoe and one Suburban. Maximiliano Rodriguez
Lizárraga, ordered of the office of the Suboffice of the judge advocate general in Beaches of Rosarito, informed that inside the light trucks were two
shippers supplied with cartridges 223 as well as other articles of assault. He added that in place were 30 cartridges calibrates 223, 100 of caliber
7,62 and 23 of the caliber 9 millimeters, the government official indicated that that was what they threw the first inquiries and will be continued
investigating the serious attack against the police corporation
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music

How can small armys commit these crimes, then disappear into thin air? I don't believe it. Somebody must know where they go in their escape. If
the authoritys don't know, they are doing a pee-poor job of protecting themselves as well as the public.
Why is it that the bad guys seem to initiate the confrontations? Why arn't the authoritys pursuing them? Why are the authoritys always on the
defensive, the receiving end of the violence?

Now you know why I don't trust those translators, The victims name is Guillermo Castro Corona not castrate crown, not good, shot and castrated. And
Simone wants me to use the translators to read the news articles on the radio program.

Can someone explain to me why the good guys aren't just as willing to die for their way of life as the bad guys seem to be?

Most of the time it's difficult to differentiate who's who.

This is always the most incredible part of these stories. Huge forces that just disappear.
Incompetence, cowardice and complicity are the only possible answers.
Just amazing.........
So, I wonder how that tourists' protection militia is coming along? Ought to be plenty of voluteers for THAT after this.

Holy crap! I don't know where the police station is, but we were coming back around 2:15 on the free road. We noticed several military-types on many
of the corners carrying machine guns. We thought it was just normal for there. We also saw a white SUV with guys inside with those black masks on
their faces. This was just north of Rosarito on the free road. Do you think any of this may have been connected? If so, I consider ourselves very
blessed to not have been caught in any crossfire. Oh great, how fortunate for us to have purchased our second home just north of Rosarito (sarcasm
intended).......

If the depiction of the layout of the facility is correct, it seems as their physical security of the building is non-existant.
There should have been no forced entry (short of explosives) past the reception/screening area in the front, and no forced entry into or past the
parking area, let alone into the rear door........makes you wonder

Sounds like you saw either the perps or the interceding forces or both.
Which was which is always hard to tell around Rosarito.........

Probably not the perps. With the degree of impunity they seemingly enjoy, they probably went straight to Papas And Beer for refreshments. A hard
day's work and all......

So what really do these knuckleheads want anyway? Do they want Baja Norte to be like Colombia where we will have to set up a ferry system to bypass
the area?

Please.. 'keep it real'. If you want to 'find' trouble in Colombia it's certainly possible. However you will have to seek it out (travel way off the
beaten path in fact!).
Sounds like this is currently not necessary in beautiful (cough) Rosarito. Colombia's great and gaining momentum fast. back to topic ..

They want the police to simply stay out of their drug-transporting way and continue to accept the bribes they offer. Some, apparently, aren't willing.
Wouldnt martial law be declared in most other countries after all this?

Here's my question: If I'm a bad guy and I go to my buddies and say, "Let's go shoot up the police station" and they agree, then it must mean that
something or someone is hurting or going to hurt my business; enough so that it is worth it to risk my life.
This can only mean that somebody somewhere was actually doing their job: catching bad guys and/or reducing their business.
Am I wrong here???

One thing is the different pay scale. Good guys get "zip" bag guys big bucks. The money and drugs can be quite powerful and make people nuts.

I know you have brought up this "marshal law" concept before but what is it?
When they brought in the state police a couple months ago in central Mexico they were all killed that day? So what got accomplished?
