Travel to Mexico?

[BFR]

Anybody planning a trip to Mexico? You might want to reconsider, Mexican Army killed cartel boss El Mencho and the cartel has gone to war. Puerto Vallarta is burning down and the cartel is killing anyone found on the streets.

There are no reported civilian casualties that I've seen. Let's not spread misinformation. Cartels are pissed and burned a bunch of cars. I'm sure there will be some fighting between the military and the cartels for a few weeks.

Yeah, big trouble in PV, world cup inbound in a couple of months. Americans involved? Wonder if this will elicit US military intervetion???

Apparently, the cartel is blocking streets with burned buses and cars. Costco was set on fire as well as other businesses.

What's going on in Jalisco? Updates from Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta

Explosions, roadblocks and gunfire have been reported throughout Jalisco after law enforcement actions against a cartel on Sunday morning.

Also reports of internet and telecommunications being shut down as well as airports in PV and Gaud.
Was in Cabo last year when a local bus got torched. Heard that it was a labor dispute but there's been other cartel activity in Cabo and other more touristy areas in recent years. Been going to Mexico for many years to Cabo, Mazatlan, PV, etc. The cartels used to leave the tourist areas alone.

Ahora? Gracias, pero no, amigo.

I think the CJNG is going to regret causing such mayhem in the streets.
