At least they were just drunk idiots and not cartel henchmen.<br /><br />An Indo-canadian customs officer in Canada told me a story about when him and a bunch of other vacationing customs guy's went to a strip bar in Cancun. Apparently they were drunk and stupid so the local cops arrested them, drove them to the outskirts of town, and forced them at gunpoint to take off all their clothes. Then they shot in the air and told them to run back to their hotels, naked, in the middle of the night with no ID on them.<br /><br />Suffice to say they were arrested about 20mins into their jog back to the hotel and spent the next week in prison trying to figure it out with the consulate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-42303920484847460642012-06-26T19:04:55.446-06:002012-06-26T19:04:55.446-06:00Good post.

If you were in narco country which is most of northern mexico, you will be lucky if you DON'T have a bad experience. If you get off on putting yourself in dangerous situations you are not adventurous you are stupid and you get whatever you get. I am truly glad Buggs is here to tell the story and to give us BB.<br /><br />Buggs almost excuses the two men's behavior by his descriptions of their drunkenness. Like they are probably good guys except when they're drunk.<br /><br />El Spaceio has it right. When in the company of drunk indios don't accept any kindness and get away from them asap. The longer you are around them, the better the chance they will find something about you that offends them. If they are armed, you have a big problem.<br /><br />I was accosted by a drunk indio who insisted that he had enough money to buy me a torta and wanted to fight me if I didn't let him buy the torta. Wanted to prove he was as good as the gringos. My friend was clearly a gringo. I bought my own torta. I fought him. He lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-21748216553473680342012-06-25T12:27:34.139-06:002012-06-25T12:27:34.139-06:00By the way if your wondering the cartel that is in...By the way if your wondering the cartel that is in the area is the Juarez cartel specialy the "linea"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-46305891255441532692012-06-25T12:24:59.401-06:002012-06-25T12:24:59.401-06:00I'm from this part of Mexico and yes it's ...I'm from this part of Mexico and yes it's true tis guys are dicks like that I have herd many stories about them messing with ppl .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-54693637382332286672012-06-24T19:23:13.328-06:002012-06-24T19:23:13.328-06:00All you fuckers watch out for the dudes with the s...All you fuckers watch out for the dudes with the shooters.Its such a shame that nice boys cant travel to Mexico for their holidays.Those pesky Mexican narcos.Spoil it for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-75061038682101993042012-06-24T15:21:34.021-06:002012-06-24T15:21:34.021-06:00This is the first time I have read it and I really...This is the first time I have read it and I really enjoyed it. Good work and excellent photography. With all its shortcomings and its current problems, Mexico still remains a place of beauty and mystery.
