No one is saying that.

First read the entire thread and then make an opinion.

Yes, your opinion is incorrect as no one is saying Mexico is the paradise of security.

The comment (Usa paradise of security) was made with irony...

I was making a point that one, is as laughable as the other. I never said anyone said "Mexico is the paradise of security". I'm not sure how you missed that.

What about my other point, was that somehow incorrect too?

You know what's funny about threads like this, anything dealing with crime in Mexico, several people pipe up about "Well crime in the USA is this that and the other!". That's all well and good, but the thread is about crime in Mexico. It happens time and time again, why is that? It even happens when someone posting from inside of Mexico says something negative about the Mexican crime rate, someone jumps right back at the U.S. crime problem, why?

see Mexguy? This is exactly what i was talking about, and what's funny is, everybody knows this already.
We certainly have more crime per-capita, this is known - but let's not forget, the crime problem that Mexico is facing is quite different to what law enforcement in the U.S. faces. Personally, I'd rather deal with what we have here, than what LE faces there.

Really?

The crime in USA is random, every one can be victim of assassination, rape, kidnapping, violence, racism, etc.

In Mexico the crime is between criminals, little innocent victims.

I prefer no crime at all, but hell I know is impossible here in Mexico or there in USA.

Because is an american forum, that's why, all in this forum is related to USA, so the comparison are inevitable.

Yeah, it gets random here, but at the end of the day, a homocide is a homicide is a homocide, be it cartel vs cartel, drug dealer vs cop, robbery at a liquor store, serial killer and a hitchhiker, it all counts.

I wish that we could say ( in terms of criminal on criminal violence ) "they're just killing each other, everyone else is safe", while that might be true in some cases, it's not true in all cases and no one can ever guarantee that. Here or there.

I prefer no crime at all too, it would put me out of work but hey, it's worth it, LE wasn't my first career.
