In Rosarito a guy I know got the livin' chit beat out
of him by a hotel owner and 7 of his employees. He and
his girlfriend had been partying all night and it was
time to go to the hotel room. They had reserved a room
days earlier but the Hotel owner NOW had no rooms
avaliable. So my friend (a big mean Marine dude)
starts to get in the hotel owners face. The Hotel
owner whistles and then from out of now here 7 Mexican
employees pile up on my friend, knocking his teeth out
and tossing him out into the street. He ends up having
to be hospitalized for broken ribs busted up face.
People in Rosarito think Gringos are to be used and
discarded IMO
Everyone I know in San Diego has a horror story to
tell about going to Mexico via Tijauna. This place is
but ugly in every way until you get to the beach IMO
