Just saying, for a price there could be justice.
Every Ex-Pat who employs a local in S.F. should say NO work today, maybe manana. Until they squeeze back, it will only get worse.

Perhaps put a bounty on the killer's head.
If there was more than one guy, the other guy knows who the killer is.

Seriously, you are suggesting that ex-pats turn their innocent cleaners and gardeners away with no pay because some bad dudes murdered a gringo? What
an awful idea. You don't even know if the criminals were local. Maybe no one in town knows them.
Plenty of crimes in my town are perpetrated by non-locals. They hear there are lots of ex-pats and tourists here, and come here specifically to
thieve. Or they are from construction crews who come to work here because there is little work where they are from. No one local knows them.

the old racist philosophy - the bad guys must be from out of town.

Collective punishment of workers would not seem a great tactic, but, it's been a popular tool in the past.

Huh? What does this have to do with racism? I was assuming we are talking about Mexican perpetrators here, whether they are local or from out of town-
how does that relate to racism? I didn't say they were from out of town, anyway, I suggested that it is possibly a false presumption that they are
locals and someone local knows who they are.
Now you could say that it is racist to assume they are Mexican- that would be true. Maybe they're some gringo tweakers, or other foreigners.

Vigilante justice. Boycotts by the expat noble class!
Where do gringos get their entitlements?
Aren't we special?!?!?!?!
Woke!

Looks like to me the killings in that area are when. Home owner goes out his home tries to stop robbers. Better stay in house see if they enter your
car boat or what ever. Then shoot them before they shoot you. Or let them take it bad people everywhere.

I've been checking daily a Mexicali newspaper that initially reported the murder - nothing new.

Lee,
3 murders this year (2022) at the Denver Airport, 5 murders at 5 points! 55 total! I’d rather be in Todos Santos!

I am aware of all the incidents of this kind. The last one was (I think) 5 years ago when guys with guns tried to steal a boat, the owner attacked
them with baseball bat, was shot dead. Out of town guys. Another one was with the guy who liked drinking with wrong people, arguing, flashing his
money, inviting God knows who to his casa. Was looking for trouble, the trouble found him. Random theft of a low-value item that went wrong like that
one in SF, with a gringo victim - don't recall, maybe salty veterans would refresh my memory.

Meth heads and criminals everywhere. bOLA, San Felipe, etc. risk exists everywhere. Things have gotten worse with increased in population, increase
in drug addiction, and to some degree the increase in cartel infiltration into all facets of Mexican life (I don’t think cartels cause many problems
for gringos, but the cartel behavior and tolerance of cartels causes general decay in social mores, increased propensity in violence in all criminals
and druggies).
What Mexico needs is true strong democracy, strong police (with citizen oversight to control the tendency for police to be thugs) and changes in
society to stamp out pervasive corruption…
Woke!

So true!!!!
Perhaps the best solution would be to just legalize it all, then have registered and taxed dispensaries to at least degrade the black market. At
least the legal pot dispensaries seem to be selling at street level prices, which ought to channel demand into more regulated supply chains.
Of course, it's a complicated issue, which simple minded solutions will not solve.
