#NBCNews #Mexico #Kidnapping
They were told not to go to Mexico. What did they expect to happen?
Stay out of Mexico…this is a warning to all Americans
Really so they gonna tell me that the Cartel thought 4 black peoples was encroaching on their turf .. I don’t believe this ish
Yep, not going anywhere near an “XICO”.
4 blacks in Matamoros one of the cities most dangerous? uh I don’t know Rick
y’all want to stop the cartels? stop doing drugs guys
How are they Haitian smugglers wtf? How does that make sense??? They were clearly American with American License Plates and addresses I’m sure when they tracked their ids 🪪. Tf! But literally could have been prevented if she listened to her mother. So sad and scary tbh.
I want to see justice on this case and catch these cartels and held them accountable.
The cartel are not goin to go down easy at all
@Jay smooth1323 if we are able to extract Al Queda terrorist out of their caves. It can be done on these cartels
And meanwhile you liberals and democrats want open borders so that our country will be flooded with these criminal cartels
They don’t like blacks in Mexico
They don’t like Americans, period….. I grew up a military brat overseas…. Trust me, when they hate Americans, they hate ALL Americans….
Sounds like the cartel got a tip off from someone working inside boarder control…. Be safe, be vigilant peps. Ask yourself is it absolutely necessary to be driving across that boarder, it could be your last…
As a Mexican I can’t be any more ashamed that this occurs in my country and as pro American I can be I can’t urge y’all Americans any more restraint foreign military action in Mexico won’t work it’ll play out as it did in Afghanistan and Iraq many of us work hard to rebuild this country back to its former glory but US troops won’t be of any help
RIP to the victims
The only solution is to lift the young out of poverty so the cartels have no young men to recruit
@kinda dumb kinda strongDeeper than tht
@DAVID Scott besides legaling drugs and combating poverty there’s not much else to do
@kinda dumb kinda strong Am from Jamaica and we have a serious crime issue .All a long the society thought it was poverty the root cause of crime ,then we started to do some researches that led us to believe it’s waay more than poverty.The most dangerous city in Jamaica today is Montego Bay ,yet it is the second wealthiest major town or city.👍
Sua mae manito kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Americans stop going to mexico
https://youtu.be/HKlP5fBZ7GM my take on the situation 🤷🏽♀️
Racist Mexicans killing blacks.
Looks like they dont like blacks !
Stay out of there black people u don’t belong there just stay home.
If u can’t afford a tummy tuck in America don’t get one mexico is the last place I would go to get a tummy tuck
Can’t not one the speakers on this.. creeps
Can’t even leave the U.S. without being profiled. WTH!
I don’t buy it. Something else is going on.
Rest in Peace to the victims🙏🏻✨🕊
All this for a life threatening Brazilian butt lift?
Stupid is as stupid does.
No wonder the murder rate is skyrocketing.
BBL’s getting outta hand
So sad 😞
Hmm…. Sounds like a big fat lie. 🤥
Not. Americans…. African americans
Close the border. Trump was right. Murders and rapists
How is the picture of McGee in the ambulance not a HIPPA violation??
A HIPAA violation would be the doctor sharing personal medical information without obtaining permission from the patient. The media taking a photo of someone in an ambulance that is in public view is not a HIPAA violation. There is no expectation of privacy while out in public.
Americans aren’t allowed to legally conceal carry there, but criminals have weapons? Yea, miss me with that one. And stay out of places trying to get booty implants….
Yes but let the illegals cross our border..fu biden
The same can happen when going to a hospital in Chicago. How can the cartells be responsible when there was an advisory warning already issued by the State Department?
No
Thats what matamoros means. killer of blacks.
So they mistaked Black Americans For rival gang members in Mexico?? That doesn’t add up I’m not buying that! You might be trying to give me a good deal on buying that but it aint happening
If you’re gonna go to Mexico don’t go to the cities near the border! Go deep in New Mexico the most dangerous cities are the ones by the border for crying out loud. I spent 3 years in Hermosillo & Silao Mexico In cartel country Mexico Not vacation Mexico and I never had any issues….. When I was down there they shut the gasoline supply off to the whole country, The cartels in the government were at war and they assassinated the governor It was getting crazy down there and I still never had any issues
Cartels always mistakenly killing somebody
The US government is going to cover the victims medical bills right… Right😳
Wild!
People see to much movies, maybe the Americans thought “ let’s buy some cheap drugs and smuggle them across the border and make a quick getaway”
This story has to many gaps, I bet that’s not the whole story, if they wanted them all dead trust me they would have never got hose bodies something is not adding up
I wont be going to mexico. EVER
😃👍
The only safe-ish place for tourists is Nuevo Progreso in Tamuolipas and even then you must stay RIGHT next to the border only in a few blocks n and stay only til 5 pm. You must leave by 6. All places shut down and it’s not safe at sundown. Remember this territory is protected heavily. So don’t get stupid. Don’t stray past the shops, mind what you say, and get back to the US by dark. I live across the border in Texas so I’m lucky to have Mexico be so close, but we follow rules to keep safe and there are definitely places no one can go to. Also, a lot of us Texas mexes know the people there and it’s best to know what’s up. Basically, if you don’t know anyone there, you don’t belong. Get home safely!
Sorry I can’t spell Tamps lol!
My sincerest condolences to all involved in this 🙏❤️God Bless everyone 🙏❤️🙌
Do you understand what a government warning means
I wouldn’t travel to Mexico for sh1t and especially for a medical procedure!! Mexicans don’t want to be in Mexico so it’s a no for me.
Calling US citizens “americans” always annoys me in these kind of circumstances. Mexico is in America…
of all places that need to be treated like Iraq or Afghanistan, it should be Mexico but nope, this crap is still allowed to happen in our own backyard, while we have warships near Taiwan and worry about Ukraine 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Welcome to México
Condolence
Why is America not going with nukes to Mexico
because they are cowards, they just like to make chaos far from their country, their butts tremble to have a war on their border. better stop selling weapons to organized crime and its drug users and matter settled 😃👍
ALL FOR A FAKE AZZ !! SMH…
Hatian smugglers
Yeah don’t give your sympathies for these people
She went to get a BBL prolly no need for sympathy not a medical procedure
When trying meet the plug goes wrong
MFs…this out of control.
Getting those butt and boob implants can prove more costly than you first thought. So swing what you bring and for god sake, shake what your mother gave you. It’s clearly Not worth it.
We have tacos here in the US, no need to travel to Mexico. Why would anyone go to a place controlled by the drug cartels?
They were trying to get the straight drug connection.
what about the car
You just cant go down there with some muscle and expect the cartel to give you a better deal on what you tryna buy!🥴wake up the middle man if the safest bet!🤐
I have seen so many reports that the Mexican cartel are creating false advertisements and hotel packages to lure Americans there just to kidnap them and hold them for hostage.
You really have to do your superb research and make sure you’re in the best possible Resort and vacation area
Mexico is no place for tourists right now….sad
It’s going to come to them
you watch and see it’s only a matter of time. EI Salvador did it build that maximum-security prison seriously what are they waiting for more people to die? I think there’s been enough killing for the past decade to already confirm that this is what the community needs, and it’s not fair to them that Americans and everyone else visiting Mexico cannot do business or give business to the Mexican people.
Sorry, but if you go to Mexico willingly, it’s your own fault. Yeah, I’ll victim blame all day on this.
Mexico government is weak and garbage why go to country where they own residents trying to leave and come over here
Why did you guys black out the victims I would like to see them. And I don’t understand why they aren’t getting the same respect as the survivors.
It’s best not to travel right now, especially to Mexico. I wouldn’t visit that country if they gave me a free trip, it’s too dangerous there.
Time for action and stop talking
I suggest a long lasting U.S military invasion of that LAWLESS Territory
What’s more , I believe the great majority of Mexican citizens would support the idea .
Dudo muchísimo que los gringos quieran venir, se van a tener que enfrentar al gobierno y al crimen organizado, ninguna fuerza extranjera puede portar armas en el país por lo tanto el ejército los van a estar desarmando y arrestado como ya ha pasado, y no creo que los gringos quieran entrar a la cierra de sinaloa a buscar a los criminales, solo si tuvieran apoyo aéreo como bombarderos y ese tipo de cosas pero haciendo eso sería un caos y tendríamos un Rusia ucrania, y pudiera pasar lo mismo que en la guerra de los cochinos en Cuba, apuntar con misiles rusos nucleares a Estados unidos para sacarlos
Stop buying any car made in Mexico! Stop buying any products made in Mexico!
So honest Mexican civilians have to suffer more than what they are going through now? Nice….. I would just not travel there at all….
I would like to tell criminals to stop buying weapons from the United States
Haitian smugglers…..🤔
Going to Mexico for plastics surgery is not the best decision. Accept your imperfections and save your life.
L mexico
Mexico is the worst country
Blm go protest to the cartel
A medical Procedure is this a joke
Who goes
To the most
Dangerous parts of Mexico for a medical procedure?!?
I don’t know what news they are giving you in your country, but here in Mexico there is information that they have a criminal record and it is not ruled out that they came to traffic drugs
IF WE’RE BEING TOLD BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT NOT TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO…THEN WHY ARE WE LETTING THE MEXICANS INTO OUR COUNTRY AT THE BORDER? …CLOSE THE BORDER NOW…….
You stole half of our territory, I see that we are entering, apart from that if you come to Mexico to traffic drugs you will not leave clean, those 4 gringos have criminal records, better not come to commit crimes and then leave crying haha
These fools are trying their best to start a war with mf united states of america… there were the war on drugs, then the war on terror and now we are getting closer and closer to the “war on cartels/Mexico”
Those 4 people already had a criminal record in your country, do you think they came to do good things? Are they that naive in your country? better stop selling weapons to organized crime so that this does not escalate as you say, it does not happen that the same thing happens in the war of the pigs in Cuba when they were kicked and Russian missiles were pointed at them.
The guy saying he’s fighting he’s playing call of duty as we speak he’s not doing anything
USA complaining, if it was oil they would have sent in the military. American civilians have become worth nothing to a government sworn to protect them. No wonder American civilians have become prime targets around the world.
Sad to say, but let’s own responsibilities! As Americans we are ARROGANT!
DEMANDING!
ABOVE REPROACH!
and expect EVERYONE to move out the way, while we go on about our business!
Failure to take another countries DRUG CARTEL invasion was a poor choice! Failure to research and heed WARNINGS poor choice. Wanting to save $$ on cosmetic procedure is what we all would do..sad that not even Mexican citizens are safe was a red flag! The way you enter another country matters. They see $$$$$$ ,they will go after it! Nice cars, clothing, ect. Sorry for everyone’s loss condolences and prayers. Stay away from DRUG CARTEL territories!!!
So sad 😢 I pray for their families.
don’t mess with the cartels.
Something ain’t adding up. Tummy tuck ? You don’t travel to a known drug haven for medical care …You go to get cheap drugs. The story of what really happened hasn’t leaked yet I’m thinking.
We need more money for the Ukraine
Hey guys you wanna get a rental car and go to Mexico?
~ no.
They’re traumatized for life man. Came back home with 2 ppl less than they left with. They will have a blend of fear, mourning, and hate in their hearts. I hope they can find peace from this.
I hope they recover mentally and physically 🙏. What an awful experience.
Nah,racism in America is worse than what they went through
Time to give Mexico an ultimatum. Fix cartels within 5 months or the US will invade and take care of them for them.
But, Biden would never do that. He loves the cartels.
The truth will be revealed in about 4 days. This was not about a medical procedure but “ pharmaceuticals”. Sorry
Don’t go stupid places, doing stupid things, with stupid ppl.
Why cant the US take a page out of putin,s book…and invade the cesspool that is mexico ..
The military of mexico is involved in drig traffciking…
Te
When will the Mexican government just admit defeat for decades of drugs/murders In the U.S. and Mexico, president after president. Let the U.S. fix your mess you can’t and haven’t controlled… Ridiculous!
