Could be any night in the Atlanta Metro......
If you excluded acts of violence committed by blacks and Hispanics, the violence statistics of US would compare favorably with the more peaceful parts of Europe.
I quit going to baja 12 years ago when uniformed men with battle rifles pulled me over with my girlfriend.
It was Mexican cops that time but they looked like banditos and if I had so much as a spent 22 cartridge in my truck I would have gone to jail.
My friend retired down there with his wife in Rosorita? Beach. He and his wife had a trailor by the sea. Two guys tried to steal his satelittle dish 15 years ago. He went out to stop them and they killed him with a knife.
I was on a beach in Acapulco in 78. There were two armed men in uniform keeping guard. They had battle rifles as well. That scene still sticks in my mind because at the time I had never seen that in America but I have always wondered if I ever would. 9/11 changed that.
Now it is common to see men armed with battle rifles. The gov has its own army and it will not be long before they put their weapons and training to use on American citizens.
I have relatives who fought in WW 2 and the Korean War who would disagree with that.
That's what hit me, until I read this bit of other-worldliness (my emphasis): "As bad as things were at the Hospital they only got worse in the next few days. We asked _______ to help us to report the crime and if possible, to keep it out of the papers because we were afraid but also because we know that news like this happening to gringos will do extreme damage to the economy here.
Yeah, let the other Gringos find out the hard way like we did.
We have traveled down there all our lives until about 15 years ago and that is only one of the scary things that happened to us in Mexico.
My housekeeper came in a couple of weeks ago with a truly terrifying story that happened to some Mexican people she knows on their return trip to Texas. I have already relayed that story here at FR if anyone wants to hear it let me know.
It is coming soon to our nation. Not one person with influence or authority gives a rat's eyelash that we have a usurper in the White House. The Usurper in Chief ignores the rule of law on matters of life, death, peace, and war, and NO ONE does anything about.
Tyranny and complete corruption is coming to your town. It may not be Obama and his minions, but it is coming. Count on it.
The gov has its own army and it will not be long before they put their weapons and training to use on American citizens.

Please read my post #28.
In the US, in the four years from 2006 to 2009, there were 65,642 murders.
That’s about what I figure too.
The small city I live in (southwestern Washington State) used to publish a county map detailing the week’s crime stats - where and what crimes occurred.
Haven’t seen it recently and would be surprised if the local rag still publishes it, as the crimes were concentrated in those areas where Hispanics and Section 8 folks lived.
The sad part in all this is there are many folks, legal immigrants included, who moved here to get away from crime in the larger cities. They appreciate being able to live in neighborhoods without graffiti and trash thrown everywhere.
It is the criminal few who make it really difficult for those, the working poor, who are not wealthy or politically connected to feel safe in their homes and neighborhood. They only wish to live in a clean, decent neighborhood with honest neighbors. You shouldn’t have to be rich to have the latter.
No need to wonder, the statistics are out there for all to see. It is simply not acceptable to quote them, since the truth about a protected class is always bigotry.
The 40,000 deaths are the result of the war on drugs. This number doesn’t account for good old fashion murders.
FWIW, the death toll from murder in the USA in the same period is approaching 75K. To be sure the USA has not quite 3x the population of Mexico, but the murder rate in Mexico as a whole is not that much greater than USA.
I would say that there is a substantial difference between 40K and 25K.
At about the same time, a friend of my husbands at work went to Jamacia with 2 other couples and rented a villa...got broken into, and the thugs separated the men from the women and they all thought they would be killed...but just robbed, even the rental car..truth is a lot different from what the commercials say about those 2 places...
