Shooting at Rodeo

Started February 27, 2011 · 38,920 views · 3 posts
Two of my customers and friends where eye witnesses of a shooting at the Rodeo in PV last Sunday Feb 20.
After the event they heard gunshots at the gates and everybody ran and dropped for cover, when the shooting stopped there was a body on the ground, they found out later that he had 9 bullets in his body and 1 in his head but was still alive (Lucky guy).
They also found out later that the shooting was Drug related and no tourists were targeted or hurt.
I am not writing this to scare people away from PV but be careful wherever you go stuff can happen everywhere.
I just got back on Friday before the shooting from PV and would have been there myself (at the rodeo) if i would have stayed longer.
But a little action does not scare me away and I will return to PV if all goes well next Year.

I seek not to make light of a deadly shooting, but being from Chicago as you are not I would feel right at home. Murders have dropped in all the neighborhoods in Chicago except Englewood. Englewood is a notorious neighborhood in Chicago. Mexico is experiencing gang wars because there are too many cartels there. President Calderon is trying to shut them down, along with DEA, FBI, CIA and our Special Forces. I take my hat off to the Mexican Army and Marines and Navy who will not take their money and fight them, who incidentally are a very vicious and well funded group who try to steal the souls of people all over the world be spreading evil all over the world. Stay cool. :roll:
This one is a real prize Kat.

This guy is shilling for himself... at least charge him advertising space. In the complaints section he posted his ad, then quoted another complaint, but pasted his ad into the centre of it. What a prick!
