Okay so it was Coronado, know it well. I agree with Stretch; your friend seems to be situationally aware only after she gets into a situation, one of these days the guy walking his dog won't be there. Sounds to me like a group looking for an easy target -- kidnap or rape. Or. . .your friend is seeing something innocent and imagining the supposed attempted assaults -- we'll never know. I'm surprised the Coronado police weren't all over it. BTW, how did she know they were illegals?

I just got back from a week in Laredo, TX, right on the border across from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. I had no troubles at all. Granted I'm a big guy, so factor that into the equation if you feel it's necessary. However, nothing happened to any of the "frail" people around me either.

Regarding the latest PM, I don't know the girl, but for these things to keep happening in different places...

I hate to be so blunt about this, but I'm drawing a few conclusions based on an acquaintance of mine that kept winding up in situations that are similar, or rather reported being in similar situations. I eventually, after witnessing what would later become the latest drama, understood that my friend was an attention seeker and fairly clueless about what a dangerous situation was.

Then again, some people attract trouble like a magnet, so who knows.

+1 one that.



I noticed that too. Interesting...

A woman's opinion:

A) She dresses like an easy mark, or

B) She's a drama queen.

In no particular order.

If these stories are true, she's not very bright, and is repeatedly putting herself into poor situations. And she doesn't seem to be learning very fast, either.

I've traveled a LOT, in a lot of different parts of the country, with no trouble. Of course, I pay attention to what is going on around me, and if a situation seems like it even might develop, I'm out of there.

And I tend to travel with a good-sized dog...

Let's face it. The ladies get a lot more unwanted and undesirable attention than the men. Actually, these events sound quite plausible. If I ever have my own daughter, I will be a nervous wreck.

Don't tell me that, My daughter is two months old now. I've already tried to think of ways to keep some sort of identification on both kids in case they get seperated from me and have started looking into theose cell phones which send the aGPS information back to a parental web site where you can track them.

Not if you raise them proper. My girls, inexperienced though they may be about the ways of the world, have been trained to be situationally aware, practice gun control by going to the range frequently, exercise regularly, and seldom go anywhere questionable by themselves. They still occasionally get a case of dumba$$, but they are not obliviously walking around waiting to become a victim, and once they realize the risk, will work to minimize it quickly.

If you don't allow your kids to be molly-coddled, if you put them in situations where they have to struggle a bit, you may find that the results are that your children will learn to take care of themselves, and while their eventual independence may result in you being a bit lonesome for their company later on in life, you will be rewarded with knowing that they have a better chance than most of not facing some otherwise avoidable tragedy.

Your worst nightmares will be in contemplating the possibile malevolence directed at your offspring, especially at a young age. I found it most motivating for me to be a become a bit tough on them when it would've been easier to let them develop naturally as seems to be the politically correct thing to do these days.

she could tell they were human traffikers since the truck was loaded with illegals. One of illegal poke came out of the blue van to check the situation.

They might have want her since she could identify their van license plate.
Second, I guess that these guys might want to kidnap a beautiful white girl for underground sex slave market in Mexico.

Tattos are popular now......

She is fed up with the police. She said they are rich snobs whom don't want to get involve in dirty police search for criminals. They prefer to babysit rich white folks.

She carries a survival knife from this time on.
She came home from late night shift work in the morning.
