    how can you fight 30 MEN W/GUNS – those places have a false sense of security – the docs are paid well but security at a (sadly) regular run of the mill rehab is a simple security gig and the admin could AND WOULD release any info for manipulation/the right price – we dont pay people enough for the ish they put up with on some jobs – who the h3lls goin back to THAT rehab place, nobody – somebody sure made a d@mn HORRIBLE point

    This groups might just be practicing.
    The objective could be bigger objectives, in Mx or in US.
    It is important to find who they are and their motive.

      well this is what will happen to you, if you go to Mexico,
      I was visiting Tijuana Mexico, staying at the downtown, Nelson Hotel. The desk clerk there was in cahoots with the corner cop on the beat. This place is so corrupt it makes Lebanon look like the kingdom of Britain. After depositing my $700 sealed in an envelope, into the Hotel Safe,. 3 AM the cop barged to my room , put handcuffs on me, dragged me by my hair to the hotel lobby, forced me to sign a checkout form, then took my sealed envelope I stupidly trusted to MEXICAN PEOPLE in charge of a hotel desk!
      They stole my $700 sealed in the envelope, threw me in the back of the cop van, and at gunpoint started beating , and macing me, senseless, until i collapsed on the ground by the ditch they drove `15 miles out of town to bring me to, they dragged my beaten , handcuffed body to the cliff of the ditch they planned on throwing me into, and had positioned my body under the van, when the radios" started squawking like crazy!

      It seems that a passerby, had seen me from a car he was driving by, and called it into the main Policia, and now all the other Mexican police now wanted there share of my $700 from my envelope!
      That very person saved my very LIFE! There was so many greedy policia there, that they could not kill me, as there was not enough money to go around anymore, for the 20 cops that arrived to share in my death.
      I reported this to Washington DC MEXICAN EMBASSY, they refused to take a report.
      Mexicans are horrible, and dangerous people, if you think otherwise, try going to the NELSON HOTEL TIJUANA! do not say you were not warned first, sign a will before you go to Tijuana,. THE POLICIA ARE WORST THAN THE CROOKS!
      TRUST ME you do not stand a chance.

      PS i reported the attempted murder to the San Diego Police, just as soon as crossing the border, they were shocked at my black and blue body, the police officer said, he prohibited his daughters from going to Mexico, and informed me, they were officially not allowed to take reports from across the border, no matter if attempted murder is involved.

    I worked in a Alcohol Rehab Center for over 20 years and it could very well happen here in the states. My husband and i
    were traveling to Mexico last year and got carjacked and my husband was shot in the arm. We have been traveling to Mexico for over 30 years...Now, it just not safe. What will the local people live on if tourism goes away because of the
    crime. Something has to be done..but I am afraid it is to late.
