Getting rid of the Beggers in the Zona....

[Tricia]

I actually noticed serveral new deportees last night and knew something was funny/fishy when they kept following me and my friends around trying to make small talk instead of straight-out trying to get us to go to their bar... luckily the worse thing that happened is that one of my friends got suckered into buying one of these guys a taco.

Common sense, just ignore all these dudes.

Hey Sampson thanks for this tip, very important. Sometimes like an idiot I keep talking to some solictors on the street and it could be a scam as you said. Once I had this guy running round behind me, trying to push some bar, and he spoke pretty good English, and we did run into a cop, but the cop never asked me anything he reprimanded that guy I could not understand what it was about.

Here is the most common scam, where a slime ball is working with the police:

street guy walks up to you, and starts to talk to you about anything...doesn't matter what..now the police push you and him to the wall..then they find drugs on the guy...now they say you were buying from him...you are suppose to cave in and pay...if you do, then the favor is paid, if you don't he has to find someone else..[/QUOTE]

Hey Melonbag, good to see you on this forum ! I know you from TJA, it wouldnt be hard to guess. That was funny about the paddy wagon, yeah and those cops with the machine guns, reminds me of my gulf war days

Also the police let them avoid jail for doing "favors" like set up with Americans...some guys won't sell out and others will. Over the years I have had a few people tell me to be aware of this guy or that guy, because he owes the police a favor...

Early Friday mornings, the cops drive the paddy wagon around and round them up. The motive is to keep them off the streets when the rush of tourists come into the zona for the weekend.

Actually, the cops send these guys to jail all of the time with the knowledge that they don't have money to bribe them. They need to have arrests made and then they can extort bribes from the tourists. If they didn't send people to jail and collected bribes from everyone, then it wouldn't look like the cops were doing anything.

As the dollar is coming down our "exports" to Mexico keep increasing In places like the Zona what can one expect, all the rif rafs, right ? A couple of months ago, I had this White american looking guy running towards me, he was bloodied and was demanding help. I am like WTF, do I look like an angel... I kept quiet and continued walking towards Hong Kong, but he still followed, "Hey I am speaking English". Thank my stars, I wasnt drunk as I lose my temper on the fly, I just kept walking, thought I will have to act only if he touches me, but that didnt happen and I entered HK. The thing is one doesnt want to get in fucked up in mood in the zona for whatever reason.

I keep running into alot of americans begging down there , giving sob stories about how they got beat up and thrown in jail , straight up ICE addicts if you ask me , but yea I agree Im seeing alot more beggers and it seemed like it came outa no where

 

[eloquent]

they go to jail from time to time, but the truth is the police see it as a waste of time...if they cannot make money off of them, then go work on someone who can pay...every once in awhile they go through and sweep them out, but they are back in a day or two.

I've noticed a huge increase in homeless and beggers in the Zona lately. I saw a ton of cops and they seem to always ignore them. A lot of them are from the US, probably escaping warrants or addicted to drugs. I dont mean to sound racist but they are white people. I think the TJ cops need to do something about them. I was stopped on two seperate occasions by white dudes lingering around the Zona asking me for money. I am white myself and I think they should be arrested by TJ cops and deported back to the US to face whatever charges they may have. I've seen the typical deportees that have been down there for years, they are Mexican they belong in Mexico and they are always trying to help get me leid, little do they know that this greengo has been mongering in the Zona for 12 years and I dont need their help
