Jesus Malverde

I know this may not be helpful to the question in hand, but I still feel the urge to ask as I am curious. . . . . What exactly is the shrine of Jesus Malverde??

Never heard of it, but interesting:

Jesús Malverde, sometimes known as the "generous bandit", "angel of the poor", [1] or the "narco-saint", is a folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. He is celebrated as a folk saint by some in Mexico and the United States, particularly among those involved in drug trafficking,[2] but he is not officially recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.



If you're not a native Mexican, even if they sold drugs there, I would not even begin to screw around. Estimates run in the 90% range of murders associated with drugs in Mexico. Sinaloa is one of the more murder ridden states in Mexico.

I live in a Mexican border (U.S.) state and wouldn't even dream of traveling to that hell hole. Life is cheap on the Mexican border, no one would think twice about murdering you or kidnapping you for ransom if the opportunity arose. America's drug use has destroyed the poor country.
 
There was a National Geographic special on this and the Santa Muerte maybe three months ago. It is absolutely fascinating. I wouldn't go to the shrine myself though...

This has the potential to be promising in P&S, if the "did you buy drugs" questions are edited out. And even if it doesn't, I can always move it back here.
 
i wouldnt try to buy drogas in mexico, unless i wanted to join la muerte y el diablo
 
I was living in Mazatlan for about 6 months a few winters ago (Detroit winters suck ass) and I had known about the shrine for awhile and always wanted to go. When I moved down there I kicked dope, I actually couldnt find any heroin in Mazatlan. After about 4 months living there I took a bus up to finally see the shrine in Culican. What a beautiful city, far from a hellhole. The drug money has obviously seeped into the way of life there. I found great museums and well kept streets downtown. As soon as I walked up to the shrine someone approached me offering me tar. I dealt with him once a week for the next month or two. Never ripped me off, straight business. Met him at the shrine everytime no problems. I walked all around Culican and had no problems. It was only after I left Mexico that I heard about Culican being drug head honcho central. I have to say, all the time I was there I never saw another gringo. I do wish I would have gone to see the monuments built for all the killed drug kingpins, I hear their pretty fantastic.
Ive got some pics I took, Ill post ltr.
 
And a couple more.

There were hundreds of pictures ppl had brought in and tacked to the walls. Ppl in prison, ppl in their pot fields, ppl holding AKs with their crews, all asking for safe passage in their lives or for the lives of their family or friends in the pics.
I always laid my alms and lit a candle I wasnt about to take a chance.

i think we all have...

if you watch any shows like border wars or things like that..if the agents see anything like that in a car or in a house they go to..they know its a dead giveaway as to what owners do cause they pray to that guy for protection in their business

its like all over really, thats why i dont get mexicans...they cant be that dumb to try and smuggle 500pounds of coke in the gas tank, yet have a figure of malverde on their dashboard

i was watching one of those shows and they raided this house of a suspect4ed drug dealers and the guy wasnt home but his wife was and she was denying knowing anything and the cips go "well then whats this shrine for in the bedroom with 100$ bills places around it?" and the look on her face was of pure shock, like she never realized that the gringos know what that mean

Americas war on drugs has set the stage for the violence. Ppl all over the world get high, its not just America. If it were legalized and regulated they would be making straight money, but instead we push it underground and this is what happens.
 
Uh copping drugs in Mexico is like... buying shoes at footlocker in the states.

I wouldn't walk around the bad neighborhoods of Sinaloa at night but I mean... at a place like a little town square some chicos see a white boy they gonna make sure him and his American money are gonna get whatever they need, and if you maybe have a latino friend with you you are golden, you can even get deals and whatnot

I mean business is business, amirite?
 
^^^ya its dangerous for sure but if you know the right people to ask it can get a lot easier. I always ask cab drivers when I'm in another country
 
I always wanted to get a Malverde tattoo, but people already tell me I look Mexican enough and this would be the breaking point...

I want to buy a shrine. there is a heavy Mexican population in Ohio (go figure, but weird places like Denver are the same)... so I'm sure I can find some in the areas where I used to meet-and-greet
 
Been to the shrine myself. Mexico and the border region have a long history of creating "folk saints" out of bandits, revolutionaries and martyrs. Malverde is not as popular with the narco crowd anymore. He has been replaced by the Santa Muerte as the saint of choice.
