State police arrest 10 in Chapala; Cartels retaliate

All that in paradise? Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg and things are sure to heat up plenty before, and if, they cool down. Just one of several reasons I opt out of Lakeside. I still have a lot of friends there and fond memories so stay connected, but it's not for me.

You probably want to avoid grocery stores NOB too. And you are on a board entitled Lake Chapala's Inside Lakeside for what reason????

Not that I need to explain anything to you, but ....

I would also add to avoid political rallies in the US!

Yes, I'll avoid super markets and political rallies NOB because one recent tragedy now makes them all rival the violence that currently plagues Mexico and is being seen more and more at Lakefront - SMART! I spent my entire adult life in public safety. I choose not to continue constantly watching my butt and dodging bullets in retirement. I was smart enough NOT to buy a house there and I'm fortunate to be able to live anywhere in the world I want. My choice.

Truth is, there were many factors which led me to conclude Lakeside wasn't for me. If it's for you, like it still is for many a friend, God bless you and be safe. But, using the killings in AZ to suggest Mexico is as safe as America is naive and dumb.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you try enjoying your fond memories without boring the rest of us with your exaggerated and largely erroneous fears about safety here. You don't live here and, frankly, you don't have a clue. If you did live here, you would know that the simple exercise of common sense, you know like not being out on Chapala highway in the middle of the night (where if the drunks and loose animals don't get you the narcos might) enables those of us who DO live here to live quite freely and without fear.

Like I said, if it is for you, God bless you and be safe. Oh, and by all means don't you dare go out at night. Goodness knows we wouldn't want the drunks, loose animals or narcos to get you. Live long and prosper - on your Social Security checks and Mexican social services.

Demonio, you seem to dislike most of us on this board so why do you post here? I'm not trying to flame you, I just really wonder why so much negativity.

Carry Bean, please reread this thread (it's not too long) and see who made a personal attack first. I simply posted an informative news story and responded to Bob's comments. I'm entitled, like you, to post my views even if they don't jive with yours or those of others. It's what makes the world go round. I have my reasons for no longer wishing to live there and I'm not the only one who doesn't live there and frequents this board. I'm sure some would love to censor me and others, and live in ignorant bliss. I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does I'll survive.

That didn't answer my question but whatever, and again, I wasn't attacking you.

It's not a personal attack, guy, just an observation that you seem to be here to spread negativism and fear and you don't even live here. So what is your agenda?

Do you just not have enough to occupy your time?

You should talk MC re spreading negativism and fear. What about all the neo-con crap you have posted?
