#Mexico #Ransom #Kidnapping
This has been happening for 10+ years. I’m glad it’s finally getting media attention
They only care bc its americans
Dang
If this is what is happening to people when going to Mexico, then why don’t we have stricter border laws?
Same thing happened to my uncle. Miss that man. We never got him back cause his siblings are so stingy smh
I’m sorry to hear that
@Ale Thank you
Where all the human activist at?
It happens in this God forsaken country too but the cops don’t even try to help
Build the wall and shut this Illegal invasion down
So, do not travel warnings just mean nothing 🙄🤬😵
No sympathy
Common sense is an amazing thing
What about that whole college class that went missing and never found,this happens all the time.
USA: do not travel in Mexico
Americans: HOLD MY BEER
Bring her back 😭😭 she has family that loves her ❤ please 😢
Stop Going to Mexico 🇲🇽. I hate to see ppl vanish without a trace. They are getting more brave and will target anyone with money. Stop posting on FB IG and any social media that’s how they stalk.
Time to stop going to Mexico! Close the boarder!!! We cancelled our trips!
USA says don’t travel to Mexico, NO I’M NOT SORRY she should’ve listened
I tell everyone to stay away from Mexico it a failed state
The US authorities should start kidnapping cartel members and holding them for ransom.
Theres too many
That’s Mexico for you, what’s news worthy?
You take your butt there, find a way back
The USA literally told us not to go to Mexico… because of this?! Ugh 🙄 THERE HAS BEEN A NO TRAVEL WARNING! Americans don’t listen and don’t care it’s so annoying
Another dumba$$ going to Mexico
IDK. Looks like “granny” could be part of the problem.
MEXICO?? REALLY? THATS ODD!!😖😖
Bruh I saw a photo of her on Facebook inside a cage.. I thought it was a meme.
I hope she survives, hopefully prayers for that family got to be careful now going to Mexico
I have told my kids and friends NEVER to leave the comfort of the USA as at least here there are resources but once you go into another country your alone and no one from here can do anything to help you..
American tourist need to boycott this criminal country. That’s the only way things are going to change is if we withhold the millions of dollars American spend there every day. Go somewhere else with a beach don’t go to Mexico
USA NEEDS TO PUT A DO NOT ENTER TO MEXICO””IN THE USA PERIOD””WHY DONT USA STOP THE CARTELS””WHO GOT POWER TJE CARTELS OR THE LAW””
I hate that this is happened but yall have been warned to not go but yall still are. Its a very poor country with alot of suffering they need money and this their thug way to get it. Smh i jist hope this ends positively. But Im not gonna hold my breath that it will. Their nasty ppl. They have no hearts and they dont like us North Americans
sick.
This makes me nervous as im going on a cruise in August with my family to Cozumel and the western carribean.
Lol my own cousins kidnapped my grandma and let her go when I told them they can keep her😂💯
Omg
#boycottmexico #justice4ShanquellaRobinson
So it sounds like Mexico is a terrorist country. Ask Afghanistan what happens to terrorist countries.
string of kidnappings. they been doing this for decades. it aint new.
Hard to have sympathy when your own country says DO NOT GO THERE! The world is a big place…many other options
There’s a reason why millions of people come here to the USA from all over the world so they can avoid these type of crimes in their own countries and Americans are foolish enough to go other countries where there is lawlessness. This is beyond me.
Prayers
They have been telling people to stay away from Mexico, typical American mentality, “that won’t happen to me”! Or, was it more Fake News?
Still safer than an elementary or high school in texas. Unfortunately
How many Mexicans are missing in the United States? The media is trying to scare off the 1M+ Americans moving to Mexico (especially retired folks).
Lol 🎉fiesta
Travel to Mexico????
No way, José.
mexico is so weird. it’s right next to America yet it’s so ghetto lol
more than 500 Americans. maybe they was right about cruise missles
Now I know this might be a crazy concept, but if we actually started getting tough on crime, fighting corruption, and helped keep our communities safe, we could create a better world. Unfortunately, the people of this world choose comfort and convenience over progress, so nothing will change. This is the world we’ve allowed to be created.
Don’t pay them a dime
But yall numbskull worries about Ukraine and russia
Visit Latin America ✓
Never visit Mexico ✓
In 2009 I was in a San Diego hotel when I learned about Mexico’s kidnap culture. I struck up a conversation with my room housekeeper. She was a Mexican national who crossed the border daily to work. She told me an incredible story of how her son was kidnapped by cartels, and she was working to save up the money to pay the ransom. I didn’t understand why she would give in and pay instead of going to the authorities. And she explained to me that just paying the ransom was her best chance to see her son again. I don’t know if her son as ever freed, I hope it ended well for her.
Cartels have mainly moved away from kidnappings for money. They make good enough money. They don’t need to kidnap random people
@chimmy nguyen exactly, the people getting kidnap now in days , 9/10 time are involved in the cartel business. Not saying this lady was involved in it but we will never know 🤷🏽♂️
@King Loui most likely drug related. Or mistaken identity if cartel related. Could be some random guy but that’s unlikely because the cartels rule with an iron fist. Killing and kidnapping Americans is bad for business.
Shuut up you ukranian loser
Alittle more cartel enforcement propaganda, please.
Americans were killed not too long ago and people are still going to Mexico
Il never go to Mexico can’t trust myself out there feels like I will get killed rather be caught slippen in these streets💥💥💥💸💸 LA
Man I’m the same age as her, with so many health problems, and need medicine…..I cannot imagine someone manhandling me like this. God bless you all and may God use His Amazing Power to confound all kidnappers.
Big problem in Mexico.. People now don’t want to travel there.
As if they contain their crimes to certain areas or something. Visiting anywhere across the border is taking your life in your own hands.
We were warned not to goto Mexico. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Stay tf out of Mexico until they do wht they did in el Salvador there
Kidnapped in Mexico. Shot in the USA 🇺🇸. Both are dangerous countries.
#1. Those bad people are messing up tourism
#2. They assume all American are rich.
I’m not helping someone who jumped into a bear’s mouth
It’s only a matter of time before this starts happening here in the US with all them “immigrants” crossing.
I’m going to zacatecas soon and I’m not sweating it
No way knot in mayheco 😱
Nuke em 🎉🤣🤣
Why do people continue to go to Mexico 🤔 I have family who live in Mexico stay tf away!
How in the world can they still continue to get away with this?
if they want to die, let them travel to Mexico
The UN will protect Mexico even if it has to go to war with America, its ready and waiting.
Cartel always disgusts me and that’s coming from a southern Italian who grew up around the real made men gangster life,these guys nasty all the drugs there fueled up on daily mostly meth and coke it’s sad Mexico can’t pull it together, Al Capone would avoid any business with Mexican cartels cause there to dirty there the type to stab you in the back real quick, a lot has to do with the government they can’t seem to get a grip on the cartel most of the politicians are scared I don’t blame them to cause these guys are fueled up on drugs daily it’s what makes them do crazy things… to bad my country can’t make there neighbors a great place definitely not going put the blame on Mexico or the people alot has to do with the USA to, they can deploy men in the Middle East when we got garbage next door that needs to be cleaned up, that’s the problem with this world today majority of corporations blue collar workers everyone’s fueled up on coke like some dope feins …
Watch the news, don’t go to Mexico
Jus another day in me hee coooo
They can pressure authorities, and they will find her… especially if FBI is involved
why do people want to be in these random Mexican towns.
i dont why people go there when theres all kinds warings not to
Is this to increase public support for invading Mexico and stealing their lithium that was discovered and nationalized??? 😂
Omg. This is horrible
Why do decent people go to that s hole?
Good Lord!! Canceling my trip..
Man the way they trying to make it seem when it’s been happening
So she lives where the government say do not go. Brains on this one.
This is crazy
The US military seriously needs to go to Mexico to fight these cartels and destroy their drug lab. The Mexican president is getting paid for the drug cartels.
I dont understand why ppl travel to the cartel places. This city is on the do not travel list. Plus a yehere you go you should never be by yourself. Hope she comes home sound and safe.
this news only comes to NBC when it’s US money
If Mexico can’t get a grip on helping us with the border situation, I say, we invade Mexico and force the border down to the bottle neck area near central America. PROBLEM SOLVED! They want to play that game, not get a grip on their crime and gangs then I guess we’ll have to do something about it. Sounds very familiar.
She’s either scamming the government for money, or she really made people angry over there. She’s a wealthy US citizen who sold her own birth country out, then moved back with her retirement money. Walking around acting that swanky and flashing cash. Big mistake.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the US is behind all this to try to make Mexico look bad 😵💫
This is why the border needs to be secure as possible. Every good moraled honest Mexican is overshadowed by these monsters with zero respect for human life. The USA should be spending billions not busting cartels, but rewiring rhe incompetent gov that allows them to have power over them. If tourists stop going to Mexico then things are just going to get worse. That becomes America’s problem inevitably.
No one cares. She’s a Mexican kidnapped in her own country.
112,000 missing in Mexico? I know where they are…. they all walked into America?
All this happens because the USA is too pssy to conquer this territory sometimes you got to be like Putin
Mexico has declared war on the United States of America!!
Bunch of fake news…shes mexican
You white people see us brown people as mexican not american mexican
Not an American..she is a mexican. LOPEZ? Yeh, keep trying, media. Apple pie? Nope. More like taco salad
Decapitated already
Breaking News. Woman found dead in Mexico. Appears to be this lady. Stay tuned to AZTECA TV
Thanks for info
@mopthermopther It’s a big chance but it’s not certain as there are MANY MANY WOMEN KIDNAPPED DAILY IN MEXICO
🙏🏻💐RIP dear lady
Time to send in the Reaper in to Mexico.
