They were thinking that they got a higher standard of living for a lot lesd $ and they weren’t thinking about anything else.

Up until a few years ago, a group of 10 of us went bass fishing in Mexico at El Salto every year. That is until on the way home we were pulled over by foot soldiers from some drug gang. Our driver, who was from the fishing resort, handled the situation with some sort of payoff and we were allowed to leave. Never again.

What were these people thinking?

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.
