| Too dangerous: Monterrey, Mexico Now Off Limits to Children of U.S. Gov't Employees |
| 2010-10-14 |
| It's Los Zetas territory. Lots of kidnappings, a shooting in front of the American school... This is apparently the first time the U.S. State Department has declared a Mexican city off-limits to American offspring. Los Zetas did apologize for the incident in front of the school, though — they thought the security guards were members of another gang, and they responded. Had they known the guards were civilians, they would not have killed two and kidnapped the other four. |

| #2 Remember, the offspring of members of the Inner Party are far more valuable than the everyday members of the Outer Party or Prole and their families. Thus, the warning for the 'special' and no such warning for others. |
