its wasnt a police checkpoint. bandits all over mexico put up false checkpoints to steal cars and all valuables. if the person looks rich enough they might kidnap them. they usually dont get killed, just left on the side of the road. alot of times they have police uniforms so its a real bitch. wife was from there but jesus, driving around down there is just crazy

This is probably true. There is not a lot of details out there regarding the incident and I've seen conflicting reports. Driving outside the main population centers of the state Guererro has been sketchy for many years. I've known multiple people held up by bandits down there. You couldn't pay me enough money to drive down there in broad daylight let alone 3:00am.

As brutal as these killer's were, how do they allow a witness to survive?
That makes no sense. Is there more to the story than meets the eye?

Update:
Their son also was shot, but survived and suffered a nervous breakdown, the reports say. After he was released from a hospital, he was transported to the resort town of Zihuatanejo, where he gave law enforcement authorities an account of what happened.
When they reportedly failed to stop at the checkpoint, they were ordered to stop, get out of the car, and shot in the head at close range. The shooters then took their car and left.
ome local reports claimed that community police associated with the checkpoint – which is located in the town of Petatlan in the state of Guerrero -- shot the family. Some reports referred only to armed gunmen.
Nielsen's relatives, who are working with the U.S. State Department to get the couple's bodies back to the United States, told reporters that he always followed rules, earning him the nickname "Perfect Paul."
Nielsen was originally from Salt Lake County, Utah, while his wife was from Puebla, Mexico, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
Relative of the boy have started a GOFUNDME.

Can't travel anymore to 3rd world countries.. Not safe anymore.. Get kidnapped for ransom or robbed.. The good old days of travel are over when going to these shit hole poor Countries if you are WHITE. Mexico and South America are garbage now..
Look at the American tourists drinking tainted alcohol and dying now for example also in other poor tourist Countries.. Targets..
Look at Tony in Costa Rico with 5dimes.. MAGA build the wall..
West Africa don't even try it as a white man.. Middle East Islamic Countries forget about it also.

Fukking idiots, you always arrange transportation in Mexico. Only a complete moron would want to drive himself town to town down there.

I took buses back in the day all thru Mexico on surfing adventures with surfing friends in many Mexican beach towns. Never had a problem, only met friends from different Countries and Mexicans. Best times of my life..
I also traveled all thru South America. Beach towns again.. Can't do that today safetly though unless you show you are with a bunch of friends, all look broke and dress not to impress. You can travel then and stay in hostels and cheap motels and probably not get messed with..
You show cash and nice dressed good luck with that in poor areas. It's just like walking in a business suit and brief case thru South Central or the Bronx late at night as a white man. TARGET!!!
Those were awesome times in my life!! ..

I did most of my traveling in Mexico when I was 25 years old, that was 25 years ago.
Yes I can only imagine Mexico has gotten worse over the years with all the growing Cartel and corruption activity going on now and what not.

Everywhere has seemingly gotten progressively worse the last decade or two simply because of social media and the internet.

I'd say the exception to that is Colombia. They have actually gotten a lot better. That place used to be one of the worst countries in Latin-America. You could easily get kidnapped and held for ransom if you wandered off the beaten track.
While thats still true for some parts of Colombia, its not the narco-State it used to be. They've really come a long way, especially the city of Medellin with their new gondolas....etc.
The only 2 countries in L.A. I refused to go now is Mexico and Venezuela. They are just not safe anymore.
And its too bad aboot VZ because its a beautiful country that used to be one of the hottest tourist destinations until their ultra socialist govt totally ruined the place.
F_ck socialism!!!

Stay away from poor cities, not rocket science..
That even applies to even Europe and America. Really stay away from poor cities in Mexico, South America, West Africa, Middle East, etc.. Asking for trouble especially if you are flying solo and if you are not a local.

If there is an actual god, which there isn’t, he would think you are a pussy that deserves a bullet or two to your pea sized head too.
God is supposed to be all knowing and you are a walking, talking, gaping pussy.
