Great News From Mexico!!! Extradition Law Changed

Until yesterday the Mexican government would not allow
A Mexican to be extradited to the United States IF they
could get the death penalty. There have been a
truckload of American killers living openly there!
The Mexican Supreme Court has ruled that Mexican
citizens who have murdered Americans, hiding in
Mexico CAN NOW BE EXTRADITED!
That's GREAT news for Californians as it's been a
fairly common thing in the past couple of decades
to come north and settle scores, kill cops, murder/rape
and head on back to the protection of the Mexican
government!
This is great news!

I don't trust the Mexican government to do anything decent for us any further than I can throw them.[xx(]

Funny you mention the tortilla thing! I was just talking about that very same thing
Thanksgiving, with a couple of friends of mine!
Years ago we were diving, up in the Northern Baja, south of San Felipe, near the
old sulpher mines (if any of you know where they are). They were played out during
the Second World War! Nothing left there except the tailings - all buildings gone.
Anyway, we were looking for a way into the beach and we saw a group of sulpher
scavengers around one of the tailings mounts and stopped to ask them if they
knew a way in. Our jeeps were loaded with dive gear, fishing gear and LOTS of
food. We were on a two week dive and this was our first day out.
We asked directions and they gave them. They then asked us to join them for
lunche! Didn't give it much thought and agreed to join them. We all sat down -
probably ten of us and fifteen of them and they had insisted that we eat their
food.
They very carefully unwrapped tortillas wrapped in kleenex and very carefully
cut each one in half - offering us half! They were, as it turned out, the poorest
of the poor - which is pretty damned poor, in Mexico!
Now, these guys wrapped rags around their eyes to protect themselves from
the sulpher dust as they picked away at it - the dust eventually blinds your
eyes.
We were blown away! We had enough food in the jeeps to feed them and their
families for probably the better part of a year!
We offered to bring them some food - they looked a little insulted, so we
made a big to do about their tortillas they had given us.
After thanking them, shaking hands and returning to the jeeps we made a big
loop and dropped off a lot of food to their families encamped back down the
road.
Years later a guy stopped me in Bahia de los Angeles and told me he thought he
recognized me and the jeep. He asked if I had been part of the group that had
given them the canned food. He said that he was there - a small boy - and that
because of that his father was able to find work as a fisherman in Puertecitos!
He thanked me, again. Made me feel good for months - told the rest of the guys
when I got back and they were kinda all smiley for a long time, too!
Pretty neat story.
Tortillas.

Let's see this enforced before we start dancing, shall we?

Ditto.
Those who can make you believe absurdities
can make you commit atrocities.
Do I give my friends advice? NO, . They wouldn't take advice from me. Nobody should take advice from me. I haven't got a clue about anything..
A 1978 treaty with the United States allows Mexico to deny extradition if a person faces the death penalty - a restriction that stands under Tuesday's ruling. But the ruling overturns a 2001 Supreme Court decision that blocked extradition of suspects facing life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Capital punishment has been banned by Mexico's constitution since June and was only rarely applied for decades before that. Life sentences are also rare.

As it stood Mexico would not allow any capital punishments OR life in prison. It had to
be a determinate sentence - less than life.
... not anymore! I heard that there are about 3000 that qualify.
I think Mexico doesn't want those murderers running all over Mexico, either!
I agree with ya 100%. That goes for China as well, in my opinion.
Zipper,
Glad you passed that along. It's a great and heartwarming story. Thank you.
I hope all concerned took note of the fact that my disdain was for the Mexican government.
Most normal folks, regardless of their nationality, get along just fine.[;)]
