There no longer is a government in Mexico that can protects its people. Like I've stated before. Serious talks of a revolution need to be made.
ReplyDeleteI get the idea but it'd very quickly become a narco-rebellion. El Mayo would end up declaring himself President.
Deletemexico man fight the narcos when mexico mnd its ieople love the narcos
Deletedont think so, mayo is overrated but revolution might be less evil than this ongoing slaugther. Just start with the worst politicians and police and military. Just a few hundred people might be enough and go after the money!
DeleteThey never heard of bank transfers?
ReplyDeleteever seen real remote areas and small villages in the mountains?
DeleteHaving next ATM a few days away?
Been reading BB for several months, and have been repulsed, at times, yet fascinated by many of these articles.
ReplyDeleteGiven the state of of Mexico, why would the government be transporting cash (reads as such) in such a hostile environment? With little protection?
Empathy for to Her citizens.
Amlo is too soft on crime. Has some dumb ideas while his nation of mostly hard working people spirals
ReplyDeleteMillion pesos for Amlo
ReplyDeleteLol...roughly $194k US
ReplyDeleteThis was an inside job!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course it was, anyone working for the government of mexico is always stealing from the other agency..
DeleteIt's nonsense like this that's gonna cause the private military contractors to look at Mexico like it's the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer a PMC operation in Mexico. Though I doubt too many would be willing to take the risk. I also doubt Mexico would ever allow it.
DeleteIs PMC synonymous with CIA?
DeleteArmadillo, you bring up a good point. Mexico seems to be too proud...and too corrupt, to ever allow this to happen.
Delete10:00 a.m., PMCs and CIA are very different animals, although I'm sure there are times that they work very closely together.
This is ridiculous carrying cash around is so primitive.. I mean why not use banks or crypto to send the money.
ReplyDeleteHappens every year, same ol same ol
ReplyDeleteLol, why am I not surprised there is an area named "Escopetazo" in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteREVOLUTION REVOLUTION es el unico modo mi raza Arriba Pancho Villa-Emiliano Zapata!Ya No Se Puede Vivir en Mexico!Somos mas que ellos!
