The distrurbing part of the murder rate on the border towns is how indiscriminate they can be. Women, children, bystanders, reporters. Even in Detroit or Saint Louis most of the people murdered are involved in some sort of crime. The Mexican drug cartels aren't killing each other, they are killing whoever gets in their way.

The inmates definitely run the asylum in Mexico. What the hell it's like the Mexican drug cartels are more armed to the teeth than the Mexican government.

Yeah, but for all we know there could be a lot of murders that happen in San Diego and their bodies get dumped in TJ, making it count as a Tiajuana murder and pinning it on them. San Diego is not the perfect utopia people make it out to be.

So, my friends, if you're heading to Mexico, becareful and say in the tourist areas as much as possible.
I've never been to Mexico, but that's the advice I've always heard - stay in the predominately Americanized areas/tourist areas. I have no interest in seeing any of Mexico, and this thread only confirms what I've read about the country.

This problem perfectly illustrates why a well armed American public is necessary. Criminals typically prey upon the weak and unarmed but avoid those that can fight back.

100% correct. If they think you will shoot back, they'll go on to an easier target. I don't want to be the easy target.

And it's not as bad as some people like you make it out to be either.

If AMERICANS were getting murdered in San Diego and dumped in TJ it would be all over the news. All the bodies being found are MEXICANS involved with cartels so your theory of people in San Diego being murdered then dumped in SD is pretty BS.

They're not on the US border so that's their problem. We have thousands of Border Patrol agents right across from TJ and JZ so I care about their problems
