Nine students found dismembered after vanishing on vacation

[NewChief]

Just read an article that said these “college kids” had been invited down to commit crimes by some ex-mayoral candidate turned criminal boss. They then committed a bunch of thefts and robberies against tourists and the local crime group took them all out because their main racket is selling recreational drugs to tourists and don’t want them messed with. The ex-mayoral crime boss has also now been found shot with a note alluding to him being a thief and thieves not being tolerated.

Hah. Oaxaca has, historically, been extremely safe. This also occurred on the coast, and we will be staying inland. Also: these people, evidently, got killed because they were trying to rob tourists… something that’s frowned on enough that they paid with their lives.

And yeah… we’ve been before. It’s a fantastic culture down there. Really unique food and a strong indigenous culture (more Zapotec than Spanish influence).

Sounds legit, my best bud who lived in and around LA for 20 some years said Oaxcans are kind of a unique culture all their own... that they kinda hold themselves apart from everyone else down there

Have fun on your trip man

Have you made it to San Jose Del Pacifico? I met some hippie backpackers that were headed that way when I was down there. It’s supposed to be the mushroom capital of Mexico. Tiny village tucked away in the mountains.

I'm going to Belize next week.
