Yes, yes, crime everywhere. I'm pointing out your statement "For Penasco they had to go back a year to find something to try and scare people with!" is in fact not true. The advisory was brief and merely highlighted the most glaring incident. Saying that it's all lies and rumors is a disservice to the Pensco police force, who badly need help and assistance from the military. I just don't understand why they can't set up road blocks/check points on the way in and out of town (to Caborca and Santa Clara as well), show a greater overall military presence and beef it up during such public events. THIS is what we should be all bitching about, not that the govt. put out a presser when it could have hurt business.
And yes, I went down during Spring Break weekend, didn't cancel my trip after I read about the shootings in March, but I was shocked that it never made it to the local press, considering everything. I guess the town dodged a bullet (bad pun, sorry) for that holiday. If anything, this advisory was a month late.
