Just got back from the carribbean side and there's no war zone there. Go to the border cities and yea it's FN crazy. I'll continue to vacation in more popular tourist filled cities.
I have no sympathy for people that get shot in Juarez. Sure, it's sad, whatever, but when you go to Juarez, there's a chance and it will happen. That's one of the most dangerous cities in the world, and it's funny that El Paso is one of the safest in the US
ghetto - No sympathy? No quarter to you then. I struggle to leave it at this. "whatever" as you so eloquently state.
This is nothing less than a tragedy! Shot in cold blood while looking at cars at a dealership.
I'll be in Mexico this time next month and I'm glad to hear from Opie that the tourist areas are (more) safe. Although there have been plenty of drug-war killings in Cancun...
I can't help but have sympathy for victims of Mexico's violence, but what I can help, is supporting that fu$%ed up Government, by giving my money to them. I'll keep my vacationing in the States, or in Countries that aren't ruining our Country.
Yeah, i'm an ass or something, but it's just like when people go to known dangerous parts of the world, that's a risk you take, and you shouldn't have gone there. Like I said, it's sad, but again, that's a risk you take (while unfortunate)Quote:

It's a sad thing.
But, stay out of the boarder cities. It's not safe. I have been in Mexico a lot. And driven through the big bad boarder towns many times. Even this past year and made it just fine. Stay on the highway if you must go through them, or just don't go at all. Going to Mexico to buy a car is strange itself.
30 miles south of the boarder all the way down is no more dangerous than living in Chicago when it comes to murder. Drugs rule the boarder, drugs cause the violence.
There is something more to it than looking at cars. The story said they mostly lived in mexico and commuted daily across the border to the catholic school. Along with 60 casings found at the scene. My first thoughts are they are involved with the drug runners. Something went bad and now they are dead.
This wasn't just a couple of regular teens on spring break.
BINGOQuote:

Probably used guns gotten from a gunshow.......
Sad, but I agree. More to this story. So here is my PSA for the day
STAY THE FLYING FUCK OUT OF MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you go where you know there is danger present, well then you know you might not have a great time. Honestly this could happen anywhere...even here in the US and it does.
True, but there is still a large difference from Chicago and Juarez... [Coffee]Quote:

That's the real key point for me on this story. There are plenty of safe areas in Mexico. The murder capitol of Juarez is not one. Just like any country or place you go though. There are just some places you don't goQuote:

Not to mention the Prez of Mexico blames the US for all of their Drug/Violence problems, and encourages our Government to restrict/take away our rights. Until the Mexican Government can get there shit together, I can not, and will not support them, despite how safe other areas of Mexico may be. Obviously my opinion, just something to think about.Quote:
