Back to the original statement of this post...
something like "there's been a lot of gringos killed in mexico in 2011"...
true...the drug war has been going off...
how to avoid it - stay out of border towns, stay off the roads at night,
stay away from sketchers, mind ya business, and keep it clean and safe...
i think the Nomads who live in Rosarito, Ensenada, TJ are brave...
Seems like those are still border towns and sooo sketchy...
Keep it safe gang...
Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.

Not my words. Did you listen to the tape in Spanish, Alan?
The first words the announcer on the video says is, "Antes los deshonrosos altos estadisticas...."
Just drop the phrase into Google translate. It will be good practice for you.

So he says we didn't have as
many kids out at night before and they want to nip it in the bud. Still doesn't constitute a crime wave that would cause me any great concern.

VALPARAISO, Chile — According to data from the US State Department, the first six months of 2011 represented the most deadly period of the past eight
years for US citizens in Mexico.
From January 4 to June 11 of this year, 65 Americans were killed in Mexico, a 300 percent increase since 2003. This figure comes from La Opinion,
which gained access to a report compiled by the US State Department. As the paper notes, the actual number of deaths may be higher in reality, as the
figures only refer to voluntarily reported deaths.
Still, the numbers reveal some noteworthy patterns about the most dangerous places, statistically, for Americans in the country. The report found that
Baja California, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, Sonora, and Sinaloa have been the site of most of the violence, with a third of the deaths occurring in the
border cities of Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana.
In its most recent travel advisory, issued on April 22, the State Department also warned US citizens to exercise extreme caution when traveling to the
states of Michoacán, Durango, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Guerrero, and Jalisco. Nevertheless, the State Department warning points out that “there is
no evidence that US tourists have been targeted by criminal elements due to their citizenship,” a reminder that attacks on Americans are usually
opportunistic, and not systemic in nature. |
That's kinda of a misleading statement that there was a 300 percent increase of American deaths since 2003 when the numbers were very small to begin
with. 65 reported deaths is nothing to go into full panic mode over, espeically with such low numbers of Americans being killed in Mexico, and in 2003
you could have almost counted the dead American in Mexico on all you fingers and toes with only 22 reported deaths.
Another thing according to the report they're counting Americans deaths due to "unnatural causes."Previous to 2010 the leading deaths of young people
in Mexico was due to auto accidents. I saw a report a few months ago claim that most deaths to Americans in Mexico was due to accidents like car
accidents and getting ran over on the street. Narco killings of Americans is way down the list. And lets not forget American are often involved in the
drug trade or other illegal activates in Mexico.

The report also said that one third of those reported deaths occurred in two cities Juarez and Tijuana. Who wants to live in those two cities anyway?
Just avoid the other cities they list as dangerous and then you should be very safe in Mexico.
Also according to the report they said millions of American visit Mexico, and everyday some 150,000 people American cross into Mexico. It's nice to
see so many American are willing to cross into Mexico and enjoy everything Mexico has to offer.
Here is the "La Opinion" article that was just about ripped off, by writer Geoffrey Ramsey, and then translated in English. I guess he did credit La
Opinion as a source, but still where is Ramsey's work?

I think many would be shocked as to how many Americans who are on government assistance are now living just across the border. The complex I lived in
3/4's of the people are on public assistance...funny but the Mexicans who live there all had jobs...it was only the Americans. And many of these
Americans were evicted from the complex at some point in time as they couldn't even afford to live in Mexico!
All one has to do is have a U.S. address with a street name...from what I understand many of these people use relatives addresses and pick up their
checks. Fortunately I don't live there anymore. These people barely survive in the U.S. and they are in the same situation in Mexico. Many of these
people were homeless in San Diego. What irritates me even more is that it is always the AfroAmericans who say the Mexicans take away their jobs in
the U.S. and now they are moving across the border! |
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
