We would always stop in Monterey on our way up the coast to San Francisco. It was such a picturesque town back then, and a true jewel of the pacific coastline. Oh my, how things have changed. There's so many mexicans now.

ReplyDeleteGood they don't kill innocents and informats.
Francisco Medina Mejia aka El Quemado, one of the Zetas responsible for setting The Casino Royale on fire in Monterrey NL was killed with three other zetas by Mexican Army soldiers after a brief gunfight in Nuevo Laredo about a week ago. In Nuevo Laredo he was second in the zeta's chain of command after Miguel Trevino aka Z40.
ReplyDeleteYeah there was no news about el quemado, & there was a narco mensaje the other day aimed at "la aranja" of the zetas I guess from the CDG saying they're looking for him, please can we see more news or reports about/from Monterrey. #### Also was this the work of the CDG? ###Also when are the authorities going to start dealing with the prison system in Mexico I mean referring to the 2 people murdered in topo Chico everyone knows it was zetas that killed them as that prison is run by the zetas. Keep up the good work at bb guys.
ReplyDeletesome think eliminating guns will stop crime and killing? guns don't kill or commit crimes criminals do.

The number of knifepoint robberies rose by 10% in the year to September, but police figures show overall crime in England and Wales fell by 4%.
The recorded crime statistics cover the August riots but researchers say their impact was "small".
Separate figures from the British Crime Survey - measuring people's experiences of crime - suggest crime went up by 4%.
It also found an 11% rise in personal crime - the biggest in a decade, says Labour.
This increase in personal crime, which includes violence against the person, robbery, bag snatches and pickpocketing, was the largest since 2001-02 when the British Crime Survey became continuous, the Home Office confirmed.
Researchers say the rise is statistically significant.
