Attempted kidnapping 10 am today in Ajijic - can anyone confirm???

I think wheter it be cartels or opportunists...dead is dead and the people of Lakeside have taken their power and pride back. I don't think once you've felt that... you can go back to business as usual.

For those who think the Chapala Chief of Police is concerned for his safety, I say "No wonder!"....the following "just in" 3 hours ago on Fox News:
Police chief gunned down in western Mexico
Published May 22, 2012

The deputy police chief of Magdalena, a city in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, was killed by gunmen, prosecutors said.
Victor Manuel Hernandez Sotelo was murdered Monday by two subjects on a motorcycle who rode up to his SUV and opened fire with 9 mm weapons in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco.
The police chief's SUV crashed into a public bus after the shooting and the gunmen escaped, the Jalisco Attorney General's Office said.
Hernandez Sotelo was shot twice in the head and died instantly, investigators said.
The police chief had driven to Guadalajara for a doctor's appointment.

From the above story, he was driving a Lincoln Navigator? I would like to know how accurate the translated version is since it seems to indicate that the Police Chief had a criminal record?

Looks like a cop with a criminal record, driving a car way too nice for a cop and then killed, isn´t hard to figure out what he was involved in.

How does a guy with a criminal record get a job as police chief?

What?

Really?

Never mind.

You aren´t from around here, are you? lol

Maybe he owned an opal mine.

I was just in Magdelena a few weeks ago and it seemed like a pleasant, peaceful town...........

It is a nice town but in the last year there has been a whole lot of trouble there,mostly in the surrounding countryside.

Things are not what they appear to be in Mexico.
The cop had a record for stealing from a truck isn´t it part of the job´s description on some routes?
