Mexican Marines Executed Three U.S. Citizens

[DigitalDrifter]

I used to go to Mexico every year, but I decided a few years ago that I'm done with vacationing here.

Three U.S. siblings found dead in Mexico in 2014 were executed by Mexican marines and a border mayor's paramilitary security team, the country's National Human Rights Commission said Thursday.

Erica Alvarado Salinas, 26, Alex Alvarado, 22, and Jose Angel Alvarado, 21, all American citizens, disappeared in 2014 while visiting their father in El Control, a small town near Matamoros, a Mexican city in the dangerous state of Tamaulipas, across the border from Brownsville, Texas.

Their bodies were found sixteen days later in a field east of Matamoros. They each had been shot in the head, and the bodies were badly decomposed. Jose Guadalupe Castaneda Benitez, 32, a friend from Mexico traveling with the siblings, was also killed.

Yeah, glad I have visited through the years before it became a complete s#*thole. Won’t do it again, unless there is a drastic change.

We used to go to Acuna all the time to party.
I wouldnt set foot in the place these days.

It's sad, but too many stories now with tragic results.

I'm happy to say I've never set foot in that nation of punks and never will. Spain never could come up with a decent colony.
