I doubt that the incident will make the slightest difference to Cozumel commerce. These folks are not stupid.You may well be right. It would appear from the original story (translated) that the authorities were on the scene when the tourists were forced off the bus and to take taxis to return to their hotel. That has got to be good for so many tourists and businesses in Cozumel - NOT.

Now you are comparing this to the appeasement of Hitler? Give me a break.Well, I get the Chamberlain approach, but I guess I have to agree with the acting director of Public Safety who says it make Cozumel look bad which was echoed by another local. In fact the local makes the good point that your indifference to the event is based on a full understanding of what it was about.
Imagine the poor tourist, traveling in Mexico, where their friends said they might get kidnapped, is suddenly cut off in traffic and immobilized. I doubt that poor fellow observed it with the same nonchalance you exhibit.
