Stay out of Rocky Point!

[AZ_Mike]

Until the air clears I would not head that direction. A military helicopter is firing into public area attempting to kill the bad guys. Phoenix news link

It's not the violence e that's the issue, it is how the Mexican government utilized the military and their weaponry in a tourist community. And as stated in the FIRST post: I would stay out UNTIL the air clears. Do you not expect any retaliation? I know if the same was done in Sedona you would not catch me there for a few weeks for sure! As for those that seem it ok to make personal attacks at me for posting up to date warning of CURRENT actions being taken, you might want to read the rules of the forum.

Hi AZ Mike,

I know you have missed a lot of the news in the US so here is just a brief look at history in recent years.

There are a great many lists of killings in the US. From the FBI to the US Department of Justice – the lists go on and on. Below are some websites showing just a few – mass murderers and serial killers. These lists are way too long to post here.

The silly face thing shows up because I guess when you type : and then M you get the face???

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/us/20-deadliest-mass-shootings-in-u-s-history-fast-facts/

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/16/mass-killings-data-map/2820423/ . . . . 232 Mass Killings in the US from 2006 to 2013 listed here.


Instead of leaving bodies on the side of the road Jeffrey Dahmer kept them in his refrigerator and John Wayne Gacy buried 33 in his basement. Many many more can be found.

US Military never kills innocents in the US???

Fort Hood Massacre - 13 dead - 30 wounded

Timothy McVeigh - Oklahoma City - 150 dead - 500 wounded - mostly women and children

If anyone looks back and remembers some facts there are lots more.

Then the non-military . .

Aurora movie theater and Columbine in Colorado

Virginia Tech - 30+ dead

Newtown, CT - 22 kids killed

Are you kidding me Mike??? Do you not read the news??

[navegator]

OK let me see if this makes sense

I go to the mall----------------------I get shot
Send the kids to school---------------they get shot
Go to a movie-------------------------we get shot
Get chased and stoped by the LAPD-----get shot



OOOhh! yeaa that's here in the States

You are correct! the military NEVER shoots civilians on US or Canadian soil.. And we don't leave the dead on the side of the roads for all so see. What's your point?

Gosh a shooting, that never happens in the US or Canada.

don't worry, I won't get any closer than Yuma.

Having been recently there at Sandy Beach, in an RV, I would not want to "stay indoors" until things clear up. A bullet could go through both walls and anything in between!

You are right. Border areas all over the world are almost separate countries, on both sides, IMHO. So we cross, going either way at ANY border in a manner that allows us to get a decent distance away before we stop for the night!!

Rocky Point is too close to the USA. Border!

[rocmoc]

The shoot out took place about 3 resorts East of the Reef per Nightly News. Appears no one else was in harms way. Sadly this stuff take place everywhere around the World. Not an event to avoid Rocky Point.

You said it well. We agree totally, and admire your common sense.
Yes, we are currently in Mexico, and will be here for quite a while longer, and feel safer driving back to the border than we do driving through Los Angeles on our way to and from the border.

Go ahead and blast me. Over reaction. There was a shoot out in a Reno hospital yesterday. Should I call my sister and tell her not to go near the hospital there? I mean afterall, there are crazy shootouts everyday now in the U.S., Canada, France, the list goes on. At least here I know my kids are safe at school, theaters, hospitals and public venues.

In the link above , there was a radio interview with the mayor. He assured everyone that things were under control. They killed the thugs and good on them to get them. Now get back to having fun. Put things in context, not out of context. The world is the same everywhere.
