Their most infamous criminal is arrested and put into high security prison and nobody notices a tunnel equipped with running electricity and train being built to break him out.

But the same thing happens in the US all the time

My work has a couple Latino employees from all over (i.e Honduras, Panama, Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc) and the one thing they're pretty united in is their hate for Mexicans.

I went to a few border towns in the 90's. Today you couldn't pay me to go.

Definitely misinformation from Mexican Police. I find it highly unlikely they all died from Carbon Monoxide release

What would make it seem unlikely? Parents were found in bed, kids in front of the tv. At that age there is no way they would suspect anything was wrong until it was too late

So what will they say when the bodies get shipped back to the family for funerals?


You don't say anything. You just let the local drug dealers remove the cocaine from the corpses and stay quiet unless you want to be the next cartel victim.

Not as unlikely as you would hope.

ETA: My bad. I see someone else posted this earlier.

Thats a fairly limited lifeview. My wife and I like to travel and learn about other cultures and see historical sites.

15 years ago we spent 10 days driving a rental around central Mexico visiting places Teotihuacan, Cuicuilco, etc. Yeah, there were some sketchy moments, like when I took the wrong turn in Mex City. But it was a great time.

And I will say this: we've traveled all over the world and still, to this day, the Mexican people were THE NICEST people. If you stopped someone on the street to ask a question, they would bend over backwards to help you.

On the other hand, after all the recent violence down there, I can't imagine taking that vacation again.

That was still in the good ole days. You go down there now and well, enjoy your fresh new decapitation.

This plus a family of 4 with no obvious signs of foul play...big BS.


Could the ladies Facebook post simply imply no obvious violence (obvious and apparent foul play without tests) and in her stunned state she said no foul play at all

This LINK indicates they went to sleep and didn’t wake up.

The mom posted one Facebook pic of the ocean and that was it. Someone commented on it with “Lucky!!.” I’m thinking they may go back and edit that post.


Really sad situation

You see how fast Mexicans can put up condos in America. Imagine how fast they can do it in Mexico.
