MEXICOWANDERER

Canadian Rainbirds,
Thank you for pointing out my error/mistake about where the carjacking robbery took place.
But realize this......!
In most of Mexico 99% of the patrolling cops and military are home or in barracks after sunset.
There is nothing and no one (civilian) is going to stop on a freakin' 10 lane superhighway to help a victim in a most apparent carjacking or robbery. Coming back from Zihuatanejo in Jesus' S-10 at nine PM (late cardiologist appointment) northbound on Mex 200, we came across three southbound cars and trucks. One was really cockeyed obviously forced off the road. four men were beating the living **** out of 2 guys (all were nationals) One was holding a rifle (not military type).
One SSP cop told me in Guerrero, if a call for help comes in, the time it takes to respond is a lot more than 15-minutes. If a bank burglar alarm goes off, or a gasolinera yells "robbery" the response time is a lot faster.
The young McMILLAN boy, the offroad racer was outraged several years ago when "We were forced over to the side of the Tijuana/Ensenada toll road in sight of the US border. The robbers forced us to drive up into the hills, and robbed us of everything we had, including a 50,000 dollar race car and trailer and a 40,000 dollar pickup truck"
He quipped "I've been coming to Mexico, for blah-blah number of years, I've raced and know....blah....blah....blah....I will never go back....blah..."
The time? 0300
A Mexican friend was northbound on Mex 1D at midnight. At Rosarito Beach, a drunk driver swerved into her one ton Ford van. She counted 32-minutes until an ambulance arrived. The driver was put into prison. He called his dad in Dana point CA. and managed to settle all hospital and repair bills.
Maybe you're brave enough to drive down here at night. I'm not. The best of luck to you.
And do not fight five armed men at midnight.
