Perception and experience is EVERYTHING!!!
Never, I repeat NEVER, have I had any kind of a problem in Southern California in my 70 years of living in California as a 3rd generation Californian.
I cannot say the same for Baja, tho my problems in Baja were brought on by my stupidity, long ago. (and no, I will not go into details-----too
embarrassing)

We should all just stop going to Baja for a month and see what happens.
Surely, that would wake some folks up someplace. We mean everyone in the U.S., not just a few groups.
It'll be difficult, if not impossible, to get it done though. Just like the big boycott of Aruba after Holloway disappeared. Now, some game shows are
even giving free Aruba vacations away!!!
I've driven in Baja and all over BCS, down to Manzanillo and PV, Mazatlan and near Guadalajara. Over 100 trips in all. Never had a problem and the
only "ticket" I took care of was when I went through Tecate from Mexicali.
These experiences being related are really horrifying and the only way to get attention to them is a dramatic boycott. These are not some minor
infractions. How soon before some doped up or drunk bandido accidentally pulls the trigger and kills one of us?

For sure. Thirty days of solidarity from Americans is a joke.
Maybe we should flood the place with people who don't mind their own death or having their hosts saying it's allright to see you abused and killed
because they don't know how to stop the problem.
What now folks?

Some info from the U.S. Customs for crime upon Americans in Baja, the only American office to contact is the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana (from U.S.):
011-52-664-622-7400 (if in Mexico, drop the 011-52). Email: consulartijuan@state.gov (as in 'consular tijuan', no a at the end).
Please do not contact the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) office at San Ysidro if you were mistreated in Mexico.... They can only help if you have
a problem with U.S. officers at the border, in the United States.

I sure wouldn't mind if Donald took a late night or early morning drive in his Escalade down to check out his construction site. I have an old stick
he could borrow for the roof racks. 
Maybe then the banditos would just retire

The meth capital of BCN.
Have avoided for 2 decades.
Coast camp spots along hiway south of San Quintin are on this list also.
We drive through on the hiway with doors locked on rig.
It would be fun though, to get a crew of Rambos    together
and set up a sting operation. Would be so easy. Take the perps and tie em naked to big cardon and start shooting....some really good photos to post.
Probably wont happen, something could go wrong.

No sting operations unless we are armed to the teeth. But if we are I'm game.
