I have said this before and I will say it again, don't think that the powers that be do not know whats going on in Penasco or on this forum. Opinions about a safer place to go and how to keep an eye out are one thing but talking about a snitch campaign, NOT.
There are several members on this board who are offering up more than the occasional visitor can comprehend but those of us long term visitors and residents , along with those married to residents know that the cartels have been running Penasco and literally all of Mexico and do not want to scare us away. Someone mentioned that the line between the good guy and the bad guy is very thin, so true. Sometimes they are the same person was mentioned, take all of this seriously and have a great time in Mexico.
This is not far fetched, just remember how Vegas started.

It is hilarious, page after page of the same ignorant comments. There is only ONE cartel in RP. No need to keep saying this sends a message to the cartels plural, it's cartel as in ONE cartel and there is no message to be received by anyone.

This disaster has flushed out several highly opinionated but ill informed newbys hasn't it?

I have a theory. How sanguine you feel about this incident, is in direct proportion to how close you were to the location where it happened.
It's like I hear about a shooting in a movie theater in Colorado, and think, that's tragic, but it does not affect me. If I was in the theater at the time, I would feel completely different because it's happening to me!
It's easy to brush this off from a distance as a crazy outlier which it may or may not be. Drug violence is sporadic moving from one location to another. Lets hope it's not Rocky Point's turn to feel the heat from the Cartels.
Some people here are suggesting Rocky Point is a centre for Cartel opperations. if that's true, the probability of more drug violence escalates.
I am not trying to be alarmist. in these situations rumors fly around fast. The fact is we are not privy what the hell is going on behind the scenes.
Lastly if they knew where the cartel guys were, they could have waited to get them when they left the resort instead of going in guns blazing. The whole operation planes, boats, helicopter gunships, troops etc seems like total overkill to me.

Nobody is suggesting, we're telling you. It's not an opinion or suggestion. And please stop saying cartels plural, there's only one. You have a serious misconception of who the cartel is. They are more of a community organizer than a ruthless blood thirsty cocaine selling gang that you would like them to be. If you have been traveling to Mexico for a long period of time chances are that you have shared a beer with someone that's affiliated or talked with someone that's affiliated and had absolutely no idea. When a small business owner in RP needs a little extra cash for rent or supplies or just needs a loan to start a new business they don't go to the bank. When something gets stolen, they dont call the police. When they cant afford rent, they dont call the landlord. Get the drift?

Yes, I talk to him daily. He's out of town.

He's down under in Tasmania with a friend of ours and there appears (because of spam etc) to be a block for that part of the world and Europe as well. He'll be back for Christmas.

Yes, I know there are others elsewhere in Mexico but in reference to RP and the surrounding area/state of Sonora. I know about the others in Southern Mexico but I thought they essentially reported to Sinaloa. Kights Temblar, La Familia, other little factions in Michoacan and Guerrero. I used to read Blog Del Narco a lot. All anyone needs to look at is the drug seizures out of San Luis R.C. Where do you think those originated or traveled through??????!!!
To the OTHERS; It's ok if you're not semi up to date with any of this but dont blab all over this forum about how you feel it was good that the GOOD GUYS killed the BAD GUYS and that it sends a message to DONT COME BACK LOLOLOLOL Like they ever left!!!!! LOL

Mis2810 quote "Has anybody heard from Jerry?"
Actually Jerry is deep under cover in the Caborca Cartel cell working on the fictionalized account of their activities. The Tazmania story is just that, a cover story. He's had extensive plastic surgery and is unrecognisable at this point. He was on the beach during the recent shootout, you can see him in an inflatable in the photo of the Navy boat. What appears to be three seabirds are actually decoys attached to the dive helmets of his photographers who were working their way to shore. He may be willing to fill in some details but I know he does not want to impact the sales of his book. If you look carefully at the rear window of the Rolls you will see his profile in the back seat too, but you will not recognize him.

Lovin it in RP!
I love living here! blah on and on!
The US has fired from helicopters to stop suspects:
http://www.kpbs.org/news/2012/oct/26/texas-police-shoot-smugglers-helicopter/
also quoting policy changes regarding police firing from a helicopter:
http://www.policeone.com/airborne-maritime/articles/6442069-Texas-trooper-cleared-in-fatal-shooting-from-helicopter/
Also, shots fired in residential areas? See Boston Bombers. As I recall that incident complete shut down the city of Boston and surrounding area for more than a few hours:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/apr/20/boston-marathon-bombings-manhunt-timeline
It happens here all the time, the media just uses prettier words to present it to us.
