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.

In time? Maybe!
At the time, the cartels are probably better equipped/armed than the Mexican military.
During the past administration's "open border" policy, the cartels pressed forward onto American soil. Our border cities are now in danger of violence by the cartels. The cartels have no respect for ours laws, borders or citizens!

^^^ with that said money only buys loyalty as long as their are repercussions to ignoring allegiances.

I hope this looses their hold in our border communities

The most surprising part of this to me is Mexico has a Costco? Who knew

I have a funny feeling the Mexican army didn't execute this hit alone and likely had help from the boys in the unit....

I think this belongs in the Sierra Heavy TMK Testing 6mm thread.. its a target rich environment down there.

They also have Home Depot. The Mexican flag flying on top made me feel like I was in a South Park episode when I saw it in person

I saw that. Costco parking lots are honestly more dangerous than cartels I think

My civil engineer is in Puerto Vallarta with his family. Flights cancelled, they are watching from their 6th floor hotel room people getting pulled out of their cars at gunpoint from guys on motorcycles then they firebomb the car. Fires all through the city. There is no reliable info on what's going on besides cartel violence.

My daughter and her buddies have a trip planned in 3 weeks- now to convince her its bad idea.
