¿Michoacan? Pray Tell

When the rurales, autodefensas and others chased Los Templarios out of Michoacan, they had to go somewhere. For a truly disturbing "Bad Vibe" tour, roll through La Union, Guerrero. Between Zihua and Lazaro. "Puro Mala Gente" says my son-in-law.

Sin Embargo, the important thing is the sicarios seldom mess with tourists. Shoot a Mexican and the police take it seriously. Shoot a rich Mexican and the cops take it even more seriously. Shoot an extraneous tourist, and **** rolls downhill. The crooks know this. The tourist would have to be involved in a dope deal gone bad or a drinking scene for there to be a genuine chance of getting shot. Rural areas, clubs, pool halls and discos frequented by only Mexicans are where the sicarios like to hang out.

There are no guarantees in life, anywhere. But knowing in out's and in's serves to minimize risk.

Rich hotel and resort owners have a lot of pull with Chilpancingo and Mexico. They go nuclear when bad publicity threatens their income. I'll bet the leaders of large major sindicatos have already put out the word to "Get rid of this problem"
