It could have all easily been avoided, and I'd also like to know the story behind it. Mexico has some fantastic people and used to be a nice place to live."Policìa" on there vests.
Is normal, too different of a culture, can't judge, not a pitbull, you racist.

Yeah, I lived there for a few years and would likely be there now if the escalated drug war didn't make it unsafe. But I was curious as to why the police targeted that exact store. There's a photographer at the top of the video before they even entered, so something was already known.It's pretty simple there's a billion dollar illegal industry pipe-lining straight through that border.
North Mexico is a shit hole because American's like to party.
That's not an excuse though; Mexico could easily take military efforts against the Cartels and hunt them all down like vermin.

yeah i dont think that would work, when the government deployed the army in Juarez shit got actually worse because Cartel money and corruption is EVERYWHERE, they got the cops, the feds, the military, plata o plomo / cash or lead like Escobar used to say, so you got criminals pretending to catch other criminals, there is no state
2001-2002, and regular visits up until 2007 when the drug war got intense. I can only compare with Philippines, but I enjoyed Mexico much more, as I speak some Spanish and I was single so it was always more like vacation. Trying to take care of business, be serious about things, and raise a family in the 3rd world can definitely put a damper on your spirits. For the average single guy, though, Philippines is definitely better.What years were you down there? How did it compare to Asia?

Mexico is done the way i see it, they need to just refund the countryI fully acknowledge the foundation is rotten at this point.
You'd have to start from scratch and then fully isolate them.

Yeah, I'm still in Philippines. Wife is awesome, but I never really adjusted to the culture, so it creates friction. Much like Mexico, you have to learn to just bend over and take it, rather than standing up for yourself. It's not easy to do that for many of us. I think that store owner who was looted in the video was likely trying to stand up for himself also, instead of just playing the extortion game.Are you back state side? I remember you said you were having a bit of a tough time with wifey.
Did she want to stay in the PI? It would be hard for me to start a family and not want to pick everything up and run right back some super quiet and safe suburb of the US; regardless of how bad I spot that might put me in legally.
