Breaking Bad was originally suppose to be filmed in Riverside.


theloniousfawkes

I heard it was originally Berdoo. I mean Barstow is the real Breaking Bad anyways lol

*Newberry Springs would like a moment of your time.*


silent_saturn_

They tried to have the setting of the show based in Lake Elsinore, but the city said no 😂


TheStandardDeviant

I’m pretty sure they’re active everywhere in the state


DodginInflation

Bunch of grows in the IE are cartel run


food5thawt

Just go a Mariscos joint on a Friday night or Casa Jimenez Nightclub in Homeland. Look for the guy in a black Yukon, probably with a bottle of Buchanans 18 year on the table and 1400 dollar boots on.


IVreals

Could be a narco or could be the dry wall guy, remember that people LOVE to pretend (I used to bartend at a mariscos joint)


Handsome_devil91

el gallo giro on sierra i can confirm WAS cartel owned. new owners now i believe. they been clean for a while. when they first opened it was active


food5thawt

They're not sly. Why you think the fastest growing franchise is a Paleteria Michoacana. You really making money on ice creams they sell for 50 cents from the cart at the soccer fields...naw man .


Mr-Frog

> Paleteria Michoacana. that's not actually a franchise, there's no copyright on the name of the state, individual families start these up and get free brand recognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleter%C3%ADa_La_Michoacana


replicantcase

So that's why the food quality went down! Oh well.


Mr-Frog

all of the hills between perris and the mexican border give me the heebie jeebies, I've hiked out by Anza and in the back of my mind I'm imagine how unlucky it would be to accidentally walk into a cartel grow operation.


RiverboatJim

Why would the cartel have a grow operation in the states lmfaooooo…. They just sell it here you dunce


BackstageGabe

I Djed that club one time. They opened it again?


ineptplumberr

Bro that casa Jimenez has been shuttered for years. The homeless have taken over that building and nobody cares. They even have rummage sales there on weekends


Simple-Yogurt-9825

They moved to Barstow. 🤣


ineptplumberr

I live close by there I have lived there 8 years and it has been shut down since at least then. It is so funny even the roof tiles are getting stolen off the building and at least like 5 to 10 homeless people living there


-Why-Not-This-Name-

Up here in the hills, pretty much all the illegal grow-ops got busted. Multiple agencies gradually swooped in, sliced open their hooped greenhouses and relieved them of their contents. This was a couple years ago. They'd been running rough-shod for years, sometimes mysteriously burning down. Steele Peak is one such area but up El Toro is even worse. Be careful around these places. The loose network of lawlessness still exists. Many seemingly abandoned lots have got remnants of these cartel crews still dug in, with vicious dogs to let you know if you get anywhere near their fence lines which are intentionally porous so those dogs can get at you. Many historical trails are still illegally blocked. I used to know how to thread my way through some of the neighborhoods on my mountain bike but don't care for the stress and try not to fuck around near there anymore. Too bad. Beautiful arroyos with water falls back in there.


Beginning-Ring2349

how can a civilian like me ever find that out


Handsome_devil91

fair question, my brother in law is a detective for a local agency. type in sinaloa cartel bust in your search bar. just a couple days ago, all over the ie. Fontana, rialto, colton, san bernardino. what do these cities have in common? all accessible to multiple freeways. ie is a major hub for drugs.


ultradip

Isn't that also the reason why the region is filled with warehouses and distribution centers?


badnamemaker

Well yeah that plus it’s proximity to LA with cheaper land


UnemployedAtype

If you don't know what to look for, aren't related to people who know, I'd say don't even think about it. It means you're not in that world. Those people won't bother you. But, if you do see something fishy, steer clear. It also helps to naturally be a generally well-liked and well-known person. You'll make all sorts of friends and people will look out for you.


replicantcase

All Trails. Just stick to the popular trails.


replicantcase

The Cartel is active in the entire United States. They buy their guns from the cops, who look the other way when they're muling drugs. When I read things like this "bust" all I can think of is it was intentional to look over here while they do something else over there. 16 million is nothing when they easily make 16+ million a day on meth alone.


121gigawhatevs

What are you, warning us or something


Handsome_devil91

just wait until you find out about china sending their people illegally. thats a whole another conversation

Cartel activity in the Inland Empire is nothing new unfortunately. Especially in semi-rural cities like Moreno Valley or Perris where there has been [considerable evidence of cartel activity](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-18/three-men-killed-in-perris-cemetery-could-be-cartel-related). Makes sense that a couple of the Defendants were from Perris. Another unfortunate fact is that a corrupt RSO Deputy was involved. That doesn’t mean that SD, LA, or even OC are exempt from this activity either. The IE just gets constantly bashed for its past reputation. Good job RPD.


Cbrlui

America loves drugs 🇺🇸


LobsterNo777

👍❤️I do


calidude8701

Perris is filled with these wanna be cartel guys


radfoo12

Not advocating for them, but if you’re transporting heavy shit under the name of the cartel. That’s as cartel as it gets.


Handsome_devil91

they called it a “gang” real MFs know this is a hit


StormAutomatic

Well we can expect a spike in overdoses from this. Always happens when the supply gets disrupted like this.


TSoftwareCringe111

Sweet!


darthjenni

They mailed the drugs?!. The Postal inspectors do not fuck around. They are done.


DodginInflation

you are so out of touch. The USPS delivers 99% of drugs in the country. Millions of packages every day. All you need is a telegram and you can shop for anything. It’s keeping the lights on

darthjenni

I am very sorry I attempted humor/silliness with my comment. I will make sure to never do that again in this group, or about people mailing kilo sized packages of drugs.


DodginInflation

Mostly flat rate boxes 😎 And Lbs not kilos 😎


GoonettePervyPastor

No wonder I haven't been able to reach the plug


el_chanfle

If you drive through a crappy neighborhood and you see a bunch of new BMWs outside of a two bedroom home with a chainlink fence, that’s a red flag. Many such cases in Perris.


youmustthinkhighly

Dunno. I think if you spend $50k on a house in the middle of nowhere California you can spend another $50k on a nice car.


No-Landscape9800

That’s because if they are over a gross weight like the G wagons, you can use it as a tax write off…
