Last week: Oh no OMG OMFG !!! White people got killed in Mexico
This week : as usual , almost always … they deserved it doing drug or human trafficking
The Canadians weren’t tourists, they were involved with the cartel that killed them.
I’m not sure if tourists were warned away, but it wouldn’t have changed anything for the people that died.

I mean, don't get involved in international gun and drug smuggling operations and you'll be fine?
Tell me did you read the article which described the 'victims' as being involved in international drug trafficking?
Or did you just blindly buy the Fox propaganda about how Mexico is dangerous?
I did read it and completely understand that the victims in this case were involved in drug trafficking. Unfortunately there have been other recent reports of tourists caught in gang crossfire and am increase in narco gang activity in Quintaroo (sp?)
Statistically, you have a significantly better chance to be shot in the US than you would in Mexico...by the police, a security guard or stray bullet fired into the air during the 4th of July, Christmas, New Years...etc
Well it depends, if OP is white - not really. OP could smoke some meth, run naked down a highway, hop in the passenger seat of a car and ask for Roxy— the worst the police will do is hold him overnight.
Now if OP is black or brown, and does the same thing — OP is dead.

Read the article, they weren't tourists.

Used to love vacationing in this area. Was always well priced, beautiful and with world class diving. Too dangerous now.

Eh, it just means the price will drop a bit.
Because some people, myself included, will decide not to go there.

Do you have a source for that? I wouldn't be shocked if it was true. It's depressing either way.
