I don’t see why you are blaming the victim here. Ensenada is a popular tourist spot, and yes, bad things happen to people traveling down that stretch of road.
If you are in California, and you want to see Baja California, you don't stop in Tijuana. Ensenada is a bit of a drive, but it's not bad. It is a common destination for non-drug dealing American tourists.
