Lol

They have cartel wars spilling out into the streets and public spaces, gunning civilians down in broad daylight. They have anti-corruption and anti-cartel political candidates murdered by the hundreds each election cycle.

More American tourists are murdered in Mexico than in all other countries combined:

Mexico set a new record for homicides in 2018, and the U.S. State Department advises American tourists against traveling at all in five Mexican states:

And they're worried about danger in the U.S. Glass houses and stones.

It might be the mystery of not knowing where the next act of violence will come from that is frightening. Cartel violence is tragic for Mexicans, but it is a predictable violence.

I to to Mexico quite often. I feel safer when I am in Mexico now than when I go to a mall in the US. It never crosses my mind in Mexico that some gun nut is going to start shooting people. I never leaves my mind in the US.

I will agree in the aspect that our Constitution needs revisions but getting enough Congress members to do that is a tough feat!

Remember the 43 students kidnapped and murdered by the Mexican police in 2014 ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_I...ass_kidnapping

Quote:
On September 26, 2014, 43 male students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College were forcibly taken and then disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. They were allegedly taken into custody by local police members from Cocula and Iguala, in collusion with organized crime

Mexican authorities claimed Iguala's mayor, José Luis Abarca Velázquez [es] a member of the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), and his wife, María de los Ángeles Pineda Villa, masterminded the abduction, although neither of them were convicted or even put on trial for the students' disappearance. There are also reports linking Federal forces to the case, some stating that military personnel in the area deliberately omitted helping the students in distress
