Well they stop ask the check point police to stop the van that was her friend . When they did they ask them to let the girl go they said no she with us and asleep and well the cops try to wake her up chick was dead. and cut from throat all the way down , they opened her up to stuff her with drugs . Fucken stupid crazy **** like that.

There's been several shootings in Piedras Negras this past week, several large business owners have gone missing. It's pretty ugly, but i'd say you're ok if you go during the day and just take care of your business and come back. It's changed drastically in the past few years.

Man its crazy that you posted this thread. I have a small amount of family in that area and my dad grew up there. He has alot of old friends but it sounds totally different now. I used to go but its really been about 7 years since ive been to mexico, lots of family and we always entered thru eagles pass. Stay safe out there, honestly if the normal citizens would start carrying weapons none of this crap would be happening, masses > few thugs and drug lords. My parents still go up there about every 6 months 2.

No passports needed lol. Trust me I went through there on Mothers day weekend, in my ws6 at that lol.

You should be okay in E.P. but I would still be very careful.

NO PISTOLS ACCROSS THE BORDER!
