HarryB Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 People asked for more drunk driver checks and it seems they got them. 4 additional trucks have been donated to Chapala so they could put out more patrols. I don't know if they have officers to man such patrols? Chapala has offered the National Guard property to put their area division. I don't know if anything has been done to catch the home invasion gang. People asked if the street corner drug thug/ watchers could be rounded up.

solajijic Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Who donated trucks? Did they go specifically to the police only? Did they donate gasoline and tires too? Are these new or used trucks? If the police don't have people to man them could one or two be rerouted to recycling pickup if the recycling group found a way to pay the drivers/workers?

barcelonaman Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 There was a big publicity stunt 2 or 3 years ago with new police trucks, what happened to them, the tourist police on quads, all the so called emergency numbers for robberies. Shake downs, noise etc etc?? Jerking our chains again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yes, over the years new trucks have been donated a number of times, as well as boats, quatramotors, motorcycles, and staff. You have wonder what happens to it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've asked Hector to find out what steps have been taken since the meeting. He said that there should be an article in the Guad Reporter this week. he says that the govenor has been here twice this week and Dale talked with him. About the trucks, All I know is they came from the state so i assume they are the same as the blue ones we have been seeing. Moy promised Hector and Juan Ramon a truck for village use. but. they haven't gotten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I noticed the drug dealers on the streets here, and mentioning it to the delegado in Ajijic 2 years ago, I was told that they know about the drug dealers, and allow them to be there, since supposedly it is to keep the BAD drug dealers out of town. He also explained to me that the cartel that controls the drugs in the Ajijic area also makes big donations to the children here at Christmas time....isn't that good to know...🥴 That's the way things are done here and have been done here forever. The reason there is a big uptick in crime immediately after an election is because turf hasn't been assigned yet.. If one finds these facts not to their liking, there's always NOB where it's acceptable to carry your assault rifle into Walmart where you may feel free to shoot 20 unarmed women and children if the checkout line is too long. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 yes it is the way it has been done for a long time, what is intereting is that the delegado admitted it.. Nice touch the donation for the kids.. keep the future workers or customers healthy and happy.. Pretty funny stuff.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all business. Which is why I assume you remain here rather than relocate to a place where you are happier, feel safer, and actually like where you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercasa Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have faced some down right scary war zone stuff here. I was at the wrong place at the right time. I have a purpose and am a fighter. None of the bad stuff was aimed at me. Fleeing will only be if no other options available. Fleeing does not help things and if we all work together we can turn things around. We can be the key to changes as most of us do not have extensive family and friends profiting off the misery nor who could be targets and we come from a culture of reporting crimes and not allowing ourselves to be intimidated. Paradise doesnt exist anymore, I have lived in 2, this was supposed to be the third but it aint over yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does continuous carping on a web board read by a handful of immigrants help turn things around? I was unhappy with where I was living four times in my life. I relocated. I did not “flee.” Stop being so dramatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Handing out sweets to the local kids and population is how the druggies get them on their side and helping resist the authorities when they come to "clamp" down. It is hard to tell the bad guys from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taaffe Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I live in the neighborhood where they work and live and have asked around about Them helping at Christmas. First time anyone heard of it. Another funeral Friday when the local main guy was shot in GDL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
