So you did not answer any of the questions, your story makes no sense
Very simple, move in someone local who has influence, who francisco would not be able to call police on. But Linda Corbetta seems to not know anybody in rocky point just some bum named francisco, no wonder why the guy took advantage of the family, he knew they don't know anybody popular in Penasco.
Eduardo, since you know so much about how influence works in Penasco, let me share a little tidbit with you: The pendulum swings and those who have a level of influence...if they've overestimated their usefulness...quickly find themselves outdated. Even crony-ism diehards will throw their buddies overboard if someone else brings more to the table. I haven't a clue why you're so interested in Linda and Cheryl's backstory...but to this observer your tone sounds mean-spirited and you don't give the impression that you're objective, unless you just happen to be one of those socially awkward types who just like to kick up dust for dust's sake.
He decided to get more than "socially awkward" with me with his instant messages, but he found out quickly it was not going to be nearly as much fun as he thought it would be. He is a little smarter than I thought though, he steers clear of me now.
Because thats how things work in mexico. Mexicans are segregated by class, this is how mexican society works. In mexico if you got a problem and all you know are bottom feeders and poor people, you won't get your problem resolved.
Eduardo, or whoever the hell you are, let me be the first to call you a troll. You say Mexicans are segregated by class?? I'm going to assume you mean socio-economics, because I happen to think you haven't a clue what class is. You couldn't be more wrong, sir. The 'class' system is played out quite well in the US every day, but in Mexico, where all of us once lived without running water or electricity, we're all the same. In fact, it's those who were born into privilege who must try to convince the rest of us that they're as 'common' as ther rest of us. In Puerto Penasco, the recent elections just shot the hell out of your theory, Dude...the guy with financial backing, political contacts and US education lost by a landslide.
I'm very happy you won, Bill. Glad you left the cash register...gotta let them earn what they'll need to pay you!
My troll alarm went off right away with this guy, Kenny. Glad you issued a proper smack-down.
I red your posts, you said you trusted this man for 40 years he was like brother to you. Then you said he is ladron who has been taking people stuff for 40 years. So why did you fail to see this ladron stealing from other people? You never talked to anybody else in las conchas for 40 years? You were closed in your own world and did not care about other people's problems? And now other people in las conchas should care about your problem? Why would they care to hear you say madrugano is a thief if you refused to see him as a thief until 2008?
If you are all that in penasco, why haven't you helped them?
If you say mexicans are not segregated by class, then why is las conchas segregated by class?
I didn't say I was all that, and you don't know whether I've helped or not. I'm interested to know who you think those Established Families are. Munro? Palacio? Sorry, dude, but as I've pointed out, the family ties couldn't even win a local election. If you're referring to another family, then please enlighten us.
Excuse me?? Last time I checked, Las Conchas is primarily Americans! And (recent economic changes notwithstanding) there are few poor people there, so where do you get that they're segregated by class? I can't believe you're using freaking LAS CONCHAS as an example of the class system in Mexico! jajajajajaja!!!
Sheryl, let's put aside our friendship for a minute. And let's also put aside the fact that I know it's your house and that you'll get it back someday. It bothers me that someone we don't know from Adam slithers out from under the woodwork and under the guise of asking a few 'simple' questions, disparages your relationship with your mother and makes nasty insinuations about your situation. He sounds like the kind of guy who tells the rape victim she shouldn't have worn a short skirt. Ridiculous!
Well apperently seems like HERNANDEZ MANDUJANO family is well established, they can just take a expensive house from a gringo, and then call cops on gringo owners, and cops refuse to look at bank trust proof of ownership and just take the gringo owner to jail, then keep the house and rent it out keep making money on stolen house, judge rules in favor of gringo and Mandujano still keeps the house, LOL. it will be safe to say Mandujano is some well established family. Isnt that right PitiquitoRosy?
may sound funny but you are a victim of class system. Mandujano is probably established in some way, if he can just send you to jail like that and cops look the other way. Established families know the police chief, know the local judge, know important people. You didn't know anybody so you are a victim of gringo toursts vs. well established mexican family
Nope. Mandujano (funny how you suddenly figured out how to spell his name) is a nobody. His only claim to fame is that he found enough Americans to feel sorry for him that they covered his medical expenses. Some people just haven't figured out that not everyone who's sick is worthy of charity.
Crooks and scam artists in any country find ways to get away with what they do. Mandujano did what he did to these women because he knew the system (not to mention the language) better than they did. If Linda and Sheryl didn't know anyone then...they do now...from a well established Pitiquito family. Your argument that this guy gets away with stuff because of some family connections doesn't hold water, because he has more sway with Americans than with Mexicans. That makes sense, he's played on their sympathies for years, and his illness didn't hurt his case.
Well thats the point that I was making. To me seems to be very hard to travel to Penasco sense 1970s and not know anybody nor the system. I spend much less time there and don't own anything there and I know a lot of people. Why travel to mexico if you will be a racist and ignore everything mexican? This is why I have doubt about their claims.
They are not citizens of mexico so they are tourists. Locals use terms as gabacho or gringo all the time it is not any for of disrespect, on the contrary some mexicans consider themselfs americanos because they live on american continent, , proper legal spanish term for us-americans is 'estadounidenses'. There is nothing wrong with me protecting myself with video camera, we all should do it, this way we won't suffer the same faith as this Blair family.
