Sinaloa cartel hands over surfer murder suspects: Report | NewsNation Prime

The arrests of suspects in the killings of three surfers in Mexico last month reportedly happened with help from an unusual source: the Sinaloa drug cartel. According to The Daily Beast, the people who tried to rob the surfers but ended up killing them were not part of the cartel, but low-level robbers acting alone. NewsNation’s Jorge Ventura says the cartel handed over the suspects to avoid unwanted attention.

The cartels own everything including major tourist related businesses. It's just one of many things they have their hands in. And yes, they don't like their money getting messed up and they don't like killing Americans and giving our government a reason to send forces into Mexico. They fear someone like Trump who might be willing to use American forces to actually wage a war on the cartels.

I am an American who have lived in Mexico for over 5 years, the rule of thumb is , never travel to remote areas of Mexico that you don't know, this is a major no no. It is best to stick to tourist areas in major cities throughout Mexico. Also, folks need to leave their American attitudes in America. Remember, though we share a border with Mexico, you are in a foreign country that play by a completely different set of rules and customs. Remember, bad things happen in Mexico but equally in the United States, no one is immune from crime and misfortune, always keep your wits about you and travel only during the day with people you know.

In case anyone is interested , I speak Spanish and I've followed the case from the local Ensenada News , and so far what I understood is that the guy confessed to the woman that he had done the 3 men because he noticed rhey were "loaded" with electronics and cash , (apparently his words) and that he had taken the vehicle to show off to her" and then something was said between them propting the guy to get rid of the vehicle at which point he removed the tires and had them installed in the woman's car a ford Explorer !

I don't know. Back in the 80's Federalities were pulling machine guns on surfers robbing them of their money and valuables. If they found the least little amount of weed on them, they'd threaten to put them in jail if they didn't pay them a lot of cash. After that a lot of us quit going down there. If the Cartels are the ones running things now, it might be safer than when the police were committing crimes. Hard to say.

A lot of people don’t know how the Sinaloa cartel works. There’s rules and if you break those rules there’s consequences. Every cartel works differently and has a different set rules. There’s an author by the name of Anabell Hernandez who’s written about the Sinaloa cartel. It’s interesting what’s she’s written. Some of rule for the Sinaloa are: You don’t steal, you kill innocent people, you don’t hurt women or children. You also don’t ask for money in exchange for protection. You don’t mess with tourism because a lot of money is invested. Makes sense why they turned the guy in. I hope the family of the victims get justice. It’s really sad, may they rest in peace 🙏🏻

[@dondiegodelevega2092]

As someone who has traveled to Mexico many times and visited states controlled by cartels, I feel safer walking around Mexico than I do in major US cities. The Mexican people are some of the greatest people on Earth. Very friendly, welcoming and good hearted people. From what I learned speaking to locals in Mexico, cartels do not kidnap or extort Americans in Mexico, quite the opposite actually. Everywhere you go, most likely without your knowledge, you are protected by the cartel because they do not allow kidnappings, extortion or murder of Americans. If you were to get kidnapped by non-cartel criminals in Mexico, I think the cartels would come rescue you and punish the criminals. Yes the cartels are very dangerous, but typically only against other cartels and those who cross them. If you are common citizen minding your business, you are 100% safe.

[@eyeswideopen7777]

I guess you know the locals or cartel well

[@dondiegodelevega2092]

I have spoken to many locals in markets, shops, local neighborhoods, bars and simply out walking. I wouldnt say I know them well, however I have spoken with them many times. I have never met a cartel member or been involved with a cartel. My knowledge comes from speaking to local Mexicans while visiting their beautiful states.
