Someone REALLY thought this out.
Blk Twitter would have started a campaign.
Trump n crew would sense an opportunity.
LOTS of money would be disrupted.
Could have been what hurt the democrats badly.

2 Americans kidnapped in Mexico found dead and 2 found alive, officials say

Two of the four Americans kidnapped by armed gunmen in the Mexico border city of Matamoros on Friday were found dead and two were found alive on Tuesday, US and Mexican officials said.

Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown were found dead, a US official familiar with the ongoing investigation told CNN. Their bodies will be examined by Mexican authorities prior to their remains being turned over to the US government, the official said.

Latavia Washington McGee, a mother of six, and Eric Williams survived the ordeal, according to the official. They were taken to a Texas hospital for treatment and observation. A Mexican government official said Washington McGee was found uninjured and Williams suffered a bullet wound to the leg.

The official indicated their families have been notified.

One person has been detained in connection to the incident, Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal said, but officials would not confirm whether the person is related to a criminal organization.

The victims were found in a “wooden house” in Matamoros and had been transferred to various places over the days “in order to create confusion and avoid rescue efforts,” Villarreal said.


The discovery of the Americans’ whereabouts comes days after the four were abducted at gunpoint in Matamoros in what is believed to be a case of mistaken identity.

The tight-knit group of friends traveled from South Carolina to Mexico so Washington McGee could undergo a medical procedure across the border Friday, but they never made it to the appointment, two family members told CNN.

The group crossed into Matamoros in the state of Tamaulipas, at about 9:18 a.m. Friday, Villareal said, but they got lost while trying to locate the medical clinic, according to Washington McGee’s close friend, who did not want to be identified. They reached out to the doctor’s office for directions on Friday but were struggling to communicate with the office because they had a poor cellphone signal.

After crossing the border, they were fired upon by unidentified gunmen, “placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men,” according to the FBI.

Investigators believe the Americans were targeted by a Mexican cartel that likely mistook them for Haitian drug smugglers, the US official said. The US citizens have no concerning criminal history that has been identified by investigators, the official said.




Their abduction highlights the ongoing violence that has plagued some Mexican cities during the long-running Mexican drug war as well as the growing business of “medical tourism.”

Matamoros has a population of more than 500,000 people and is located just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas. The US State Department has issued a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory for US citizens thinking of going to Tamaulipas, citing crime and kidnapping.



An innocent Mexican bystander was also killed in the encounter, US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said. The woman was hit by a stray bullet almost a block and a half from where the Americans were taken, Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said on Tuesday.
Wrong place, wrong time smh

And for those who can't read, the mother of 6 survived, along with another black man who got shot in the leg

And apparently this is wasn't their first trip
I don't know why they got lost (trying to locate the clinic)after crossing the border though

I also don't understand why they chose that particular city when there's a Do Not Travel There warning from our Government

There are plenty of safer cities in Mexico with a bunch of clinics

Yea I would say Mexican Americans are actually worse with the racism. Mexico Mexicans are prejudice by culture but theyre not actively shytting on blacks like chicanos. I still feel that Mexicans will get at you if you go down there shining tho and showing off but you probably got just as big a chance of getting got in the wrong hood in DR for a chain, iphone or a nice watch.

You still couldnt pay me to be up in Mexico farther north than DF btw. Maybe Monterrey
you shouldnt flaunt anywhere in the world lol, its nikkaz dying everyday in oakland and la. nikkaz get it anywhere

300 murders a year
I was originally sold on the BBL story but this one not making sense.

Mother of 6 travels to Mexico for a medical procedure with 3 other dudes? If she was with other women I can buy that story more. This kinda feels like these were guys trying to pick up a drop and got intercepted by the cartel. They were in that old ass van and drove? That really feels like guys making the women the driver to roll more incognito. Maybe it was wrong place at wrong time but I'm just not familiar with 3 guys traveling with 1 woman to get a tummy tuck. Typically that woman needs a support system and she would choose her friends to help nurse her back to normal. This really sounds like some dirty shyt going on and that medical procedure story is a cover up for all sides.

Breh why is this not adding up for y'all? It's pretty simple. Y'all are lacking the understanding of both the cartels and how often women travel to fukked up places for cosmetic surgery

Tax season=bbl/tummy tuck/new titties season. She went down there excited as fukk for cheap surgery despite her mama begging her not to go


And to y'all asking "Why did she have 3 guys with her tho?' Because them nikkas had it in their head that they would be suitable security. This was their version of "protecting black women" y'all acting surprised like nikkas don't die over stupid shyt like this every day. This time it just happened in a different country

There's also the fact that after bbl surgery a woman can't drive. She can't even sit down for weeks. Women that travel to get BBLs either have a friend escorting them or spend time in the country vacationing and recovering

This entire situation adds up. It's unfortunate that two people died but it's a wonder all 4 of them didn't die for walking right into this outrageously stupid situation
Cotidamn you c00ns hate black women
They drove together to split driving duties dumb ass c00n
Security?u think they had burners in that minivan?
:dahell:

"This was their version of protecting black women "?

Zindell,one of the victims.. didn't even want to go because of the travel advisory
Some of them had travelled there before without any issues

Should nikkas stop going to Turkey for hair implants with all the earthquakes popping off?
Would you be okay with LSA c*nts laughing at some bald nikka who flewd out for a surgery and got killed by the earthquake?

I thought it was common knowledge that any city close to the USA border is dangerous, I’m sure any border town around the world is the samething.

It’s very dangerous to drive ur car over there too, it’s still very dangerous for a Mexican American to drive their car over there.

I’m assuming they didn’t know any better. Tragic overall but this could have been avoided.
