"Heidi Sorrem and her husband, Corey, talk about their trip from their Greenfield, Wis., home to a Mexico resort in Sept. 2016 to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. After a couple of shots they both blacked out and Heidi ended up in a hospital. Mike De Sisti/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"

"The young woman behind the desk at the police station in Playa del Carmen toggled between her cellphone and computer, Snapchatting with friends and scrolling through Facebook, as she asked the young man from Boston whether he had ever enjoyed sex.

Let's start doing something about other countries that constantly provoke us.  How about we stop all trade with Mexico until they clean up this resort/booze scam?  Oh wait, how about they stop their people from stealing into our country, too?  What the fuck?  It seems to me that Mexico hates our guts but wants our money.  Fuck them.  Act like human beings first.
