#NBCNews #Mexico #Kidnapping
This is gut wrenching and absolutely heartbreaking!!And to think our borders are just WWWIIIIIDDEE open for any bad guy from there to just mozy on in.
I agree with you about the border. However, always Wait at least 24 hours to get the real story!! New evidence that the Americans ALL had extensive DRUG RAP SHEETS. Those were our bad guys.
@Tony Buon OH yes yes!! Someone told me that and even before it came out. It was someone who basically predicted it. You are so right. I definitely reacted quick bc it just made me so sad.
@Why can’t you be more like your brother We all get got by the media. They report the story the way they want to. Thats why I wait 24 hours till I react. It didnt set right with me as I know that that town is nothing but trouble.
@Tony Buon Dang that’s a good idea!!!
this is why US!!! in TEXAS do not travel to Mexico just stupid!! and lets be honest Mexicans do not like blacks plain and simple!!!
Apparently US citizen enter Mexico to buy “medicine”. Yeah right.
The US government failed to take necessary precautions and warn its citizens. Violence across the border has always been an issue. Many Hispanic people living in Brownsville have been kidnapped or have been victims of violence across the borde but because they are not white or black are not seen as Americans they don’t gain as much attention by the government or the media.
Sadly this could have been avoided.
They may have known about the violence & ignored the warning.
Possibly assuming they wouldn’t get caught up in this situation.
Mexico is not safe. Stop travelling to Mexico.
They shouldnt have been involved with terrorists groups like the cartels
Stop making up nonsense!
They were accompanying the woman for a tummy tuck when they were kidnapped!
Build that wall! N don’t go to Mexico!!!!
It’s time we designate these cartels as TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. We need to take a stand against this as Americans. What happened to these poor folks is horrible. This is disgusting and we will not tolerate this.
Fox News the only one that has live cameras at the border talking to border agents live if you watch that a little while you will see what Lester Holt has not telling you
See this why you dont go to that God forsaken country.
Stay out of Mexico it is dangerous,life is to precious to take a chance, peace be still with the families of this awful tragedy, Mexico seems to be a failed country, cartels territory
I’m by no means condoning or justifying this. but even us mexicans know that unless you are born and raised from Tamaulipas or you have family there, YOU STAY TF AWAY FROM THAT GOD FORSAKEN STATE….it’s like putting Syria, Baghdad and jamaica together and not even that would be enough to match all the violence and warfare that happens there on a daily basis. RIP to those 2 people.
I’m glad all the dangerous criminals stay there while all the peaceful ones cross right into America unchecked
mexicans get killed in the usa all the time , i never see the news blast it everywhere, heck my friend was killed by a hate crime walking home from work by a black man not a single report here in los angeles
Big price to pay for a buttox operation LOL.
Biden will trade El Chapo for them because of one important factor. Hint….it is not because they are Americans.
Black and Brown?
✊🏿 BLM
Very suspicious 🤔 cartels don’t just do this 2 Americans it’s bad 4 business they had 2 do something for this 2 happen I think they one of them in the car was involved w/ them.
Boycott vacation in Mexico
Close the border
Sheeeep. Everyone so scared of mexico but you have like a million times higher chance of dying in a car accident.
“In 2021, 75 U.S. citizens died by homicide in Mexico, according to the State Department. That represents a small fraction of the more than 28.8 million Americans who went to the country over the same time period. Using those figures, the murder rate of U.S. citizens in Mexico was around 0.26 per 100,000 visitors, significantly lower than the rate in the United States.”
“In the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) projects there were an estimated 42,915 traffic fatalities in 2021”
Forgive me for saying this – I did not know Mexicans kidnap Black people. Never heard of that before.
Omg
If the US wasn’t making billions off the cartel there will be no cartel
OH man You Cartel now got heat now… !!! I would not allow any of those guys (Gunmen) involve not go home … Witnesses are bad ….LOL
You think Mexico is bad…Have you been to Cleveland , Detroit or Baltimore…. It’s not only Mexico….LMAO !!! It’s bad here too … Mexico racism isn’t as bad is over here in the States.
Seeing all the cars pass them they knew what was going on why didn’t they stop to help? 😡
@Tony Buon freakin help ! Hello?!
@Deborah Byrd How?
HELLO??? Thats what I thought. You have no idea how you would help. Reality check, the most you could do if you were’nt armed is to call the police.
@Deborah Byrd HELLO??? Thats what I thought. You have no idea how you would help. Reality check, the most you could do if you were’nt armed is to call the police.
@Deborah Byrd Some people are easily manipulated!!! Wait at least 24 hours to get the real story before assuming the story is correct. I saw this coming. New evidence that the Americans ALL had extensive DRUG RAP SHEETS. Just Sayinng.
where is Donald trump
If I needed another reason to stay out of Mexico (which I don’t) I got it today
they operate in the open without consequence in a city within a 10 minute walk to the border. Still think we dont need a secure border?
Dope is the van
All the BS Outrage. Our cities, especially Black cities are terrorized by violence DAILY and Black women are usually the victims. Where is the OUTRAGE there?
So easy to drop a small bomb big enough to wipe out the majority of the cartel in a small city but I digress
Holy cow, the US lady face down being dragged leaving blood on the road. ☠️
If you need anymore proof that drugs have won the war on drugs, just look south.
That wasnt no bbl trip nor was it mistaken identity the truth gonna come out
I hope they come home safe
NAMOR KILLED QUEEN RAMONDA. MOVIES ARE TELLING US SOMETHING.
Black women been killing me these days They love going out the country to get these cheap surgeries If it’s not the surgery that’s killing them, now they getting kidnapped. Just exercising or go on a diet. If it ain’t but implants or injections and all this crazy stuff they doing now. Love yourself
Mexico has to do more eradicate criminals
Mexico is in America
Look at them they think they were thug but they go to Mexico and come back crying, black people ain’t thug at all
So they mistook them for people conducting human trafficking. Oh easy mistake… Sorry!!!! Meanwhile the border is wide open thanks to Slo Joe!!! Really sucks. Folks, don’t go to Mexico. Even Mexicans want to leave there!
Tell me BLM, Al Sharpton and Benjamin Crump will take a pass on this one without telling me BLM, Al Sharpton and Benjamin Crump will take a pass on this one.
What does a Mexican citizen has to do with our Americans slain by these monsters?
This is insane I pray we catch these criminals and bring them to justice for the heinous acts committed against our citizens.
Fifty thousand dollars They spent more money trying to get the Arms dealer out of russia what the f***
two died … but don’t worry Bidens border plan will make sure they can move next door to the survivors
Americans going to Mexico to access medical care. This shows what a GARBAGE third world war criminal country that the USA really is. Love for Mexico from India. Amen.
Weird this always happens to Mexican Americans and the USA media don’t even care to mention it. But since they are black. They will blowit up. We see you America.
As president in 2024 there deaths will not be forgotten
One thing is for sure. We won’t get the truth of what happened. Most likely they were attempting to purchase drugs from the cartel and it went south.
Let’s be real, this had nothing to do with cosmetic surgery, they were trafficking drugs and got caught by rival drug cartel, the 2 men were killed to send a message, notice that no place where cosmetic surgery was not mentioned
What we need to do it’s just go to war with Mexico and we need to get all the ones that are over here in our country in America across the borders sneaking over here and send them back to where they came from I hope after we get this President and his people out that our new president will stop helping these people that are over here that didn’t come here legit no more jobs for them unless they can prove that they are Americans no more housing if they have 5 or 10 in a house or 20 criminal charges are put on them anyone that gives them housing and helps them knowing that they are not legit America’s get criminal charges and be put in prison
F China
What they were dealing drugs what they are doing there…
Hahahaja really…Sure they were not dealing drugs… Stupid, they were buying medicines like drugs… right…
Sounds unbelievable. Who drives 20 hours for a tummy tuck. Follow closer. 👀🔌👀🔌👀🔌
I can bet my whole paycheck if you run a background check or investigation on the two that died. They have cocaine sales on there . Some people are ignorant and the media is hungry for views
Worse was the massacre of 15 Mexicans in 2019 at Walmart by a White Supremacist who killed them for the “Hispanic Invasion of Texas” and I did not see any US politician apologizing.
IM GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING YOUR PEOPLE ALLWAYS SOUND SO RIGHTIOUS AND KIND THIS WAS NOT A MISTAKE THIS WAS A DIRECT ATACK DONT BE A FOOL THIS WAS A DIRECT ATACK I KNOW I JUST CAN TELL I KNOW
This is why I don’t go to Mexico. The drug cartels have more power than law enforcement there. It’s pathetic.
Well I’m not going to México any time soon!! Costa Rica is much better place
Where are the BLM protests and riots in Mexico as a response?
Perhaps, the US Government should declare Mexico as an ENEMY of America, and declare all out war! I would definitely vote for that!
THAT’S TO BAD, THAT AMERICA AIN’T DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT OR SLOW ONE OF THE TWO. NOW I KNOW FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD OF DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT QUICK, LIKE RETALIATION ON THEM FREAKING CARTEL, THIS S#&T IS GETTING OLD. IT’S TIME TO RETALIATE PRESIDENT BIDEN, IT’S TIME TO REDEEM YOURSELF MAN. SHOW THEM CARTEL WHO THE U.S.OF A. IS👍👍👍👍👍
You have 6 kids. And yet your going there to get plastic surgery.. why ? cant afford it in the us..I would love to know if your on assistance.. or have health insurance on your six kids
poor people,……. o well things happen…
thank you Democrats thanks Biden lovers everywhere. sad
They were buying drugs from the cartel.
Just to clear your note,
They were hunted by the FBI, DEA,
In USA BLACK PEOPLE ARE HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS BY THE POLICE AND THE REDNECKS, WHITE SUPREMACY AND MORE GROUPS,.
The Gringos try to stop Mexico to join the BRICS
The Gringos are lossing money and want to Sound the War war music against Mexico
George Floyd is waiting for Justice among the Police Girl who was Killed by her coworkers
Don”t make a big fake Fuss on this news, you are exposed as Hypocrite
THE PUBLICS HELP??????! How about the dummy administration do something!!!
MENOS LOS GENOCIDIOS QUE HICIERON LOS CENSORES AMORDAZANDO AL PUEBLO SOBERANO TODO LO DEMAS ES MENTIRA.
They should gather all the bloods and the creeps and the hoot rats and go take on the cartels I heard the dogs 🐕 still need food to eat
That’s what happened to people that goes looking for drugs in Mexico now the truth is como out of what really happened in Tamaulipas you don’t mess with the cartel’s
My wife said she want to vacay in mexico, i told her to go have fun on her own, I ain’t going…
those 4 went to mexico to cut off the middle man, he found out about their plan and well .. wasnt happy 😮
They about to send them boys in well they should. All it takes is about 12 operators and some timely air support. I hate cartels their so stupid they make worse mistakes then street gangs.
Sounds like a drug deal went bad
Mexico is no holiday destination you better safe in Afghanistan
Thay won’t get away from America police there dun for doing this to them.
Mexico 🇲🇽 government is a JOKE
this allows go’s on for so many year’s.
Were Americans there to bring drugs back…. is it possible they were mules?
Just horrible, condolences to the familys,prayers for well being of other 2 people ❤️🙏
Those 4 people had criminal records, they sure did something to the drug dealer.
The USA is trying to push an agenda . There doing anything to enter Mexico
They were there to do drug deals
NBC!!! Always Wait at least 24 hours to get the real story!! New evidence that the Americans ALL had extensive DRUG RAP SHEETS.
Those four citizens of the USA were not angels, they are not fooling me, they came to buy drugs and have a criminal record for drugs in their state of origin, they even killed a Mexican woman along with them and nobody talks about her, in the USA they murder Mexicans and nobody talks about it, eradicate drug users, without purchase there is no sale, they always want to victimize themselves and they only want to politicize this case to invade us, but Mexico is free and sovereign, it is respected, we have a president with moral authority to make us respect, do not be interventionists, first arrange the coup against the president of Peru, they imprisoned him and put the usurping president in his place, they did it the same as with Bolivia, because of the lithium issue, because president Pedro was going to propose a law to nationalize lithium and not hand it over to outside governments and companies.
time to bring the ARMY into Mexico, get rid off those terrorist cartels, the Mexican president is giving them green light to do whatever they want vs all Mexican innocent civilians & all nationalities.
The ones that were kidnapped are all criminals they all criminal background my guess is that they was going to too Mexico to do business with the cartels back backfire
Time for that wall 🧱
They shouldnt have been out there messing around
Looking for cheap drugs and got killed for it ….and the world goes on 🌍
Where are the protests from Black Lives Matter?
50,000 reward… c’mon US!
