muftiboy,

wonder what he was researching in that "wrong place", and who sponsored it and sent him there 🤔

According to the article buttonbush. Doesn’t sound like too much funding, but I’m pretty sure everyone knows about how deadly Sonora is. Even his family didn’t want him to go.

muftiboy,

what's buttonbush and what kind of research do they fund in a deadly place? can you find any organisation or website by that name?

"Evidently he was in the wrong place," Anthony Trujillo told The Associated Press on Thursday while he waited to board a flight back home, his son's remains beside him.

Nonono, use the right words: "The region of Sonora in Mexico" didn't murder anyone. It's the mexicans living there who murdered him.

His family begged him not to go to such a dangerous place: Sonora recorded 518 homicides through May, according to federal government data. But Trujillo believed the trip was crucial to his research.

How are we supposed to visit Mexico if Mexicans kill us on sight?

Chozo,

You might wanna rephrase your question to seem less racist.

dustin,

You know, not everything is about race. You should edit your comment.

Chozo,

not evening is about race

Mexicans kill us on sight

So which is it?

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

Hank,

Are foreigners more likely to get killed than Mexicans?

I don't know and I don't want to find out. You don't allow 580 people to get murdered in a month if you don't have completely dropped the idea of maintaining order. Ultimately you get killed for money, what else would they kill for?

A quick look at the wiki page of the cities with the highest murder rates on the planet shows that in the top 10 cities, 9 are in Mexico.

About Acapulco

The city is one of Mexico's oldest beach resorts, coming into prominence in the 1940s through the 1960s as a getaway for Hollywood stars and millionaires. Acapulco was once a popular tourist resort, but due to a massive upsurge in gang violence and homicide numbers since 2014, Acapulco no longer attracts many foreign tourists, and most now only come from Mexico itself. It is both the sixth deadliest city in Mexico and the seventh-deadliest city in the world; the US government has warned its citizens not to travel there.

tourists are gone, and I can see why.

Hank,

You made it sound like mainly foreigners are targeted in your first comment but now you shifted your argument towards the whole population of this area is responsible for the condition they live in while they deal with poverty, a useless government and some assholes trying to turn the situation into profit with no regards of how it influences the people around them.

Pointing in the general direction and blame everyone for a very complex situation makes me think that you're not an intelligent person and definitely not one with the minimum of empathy humans should be able to bring up for one another.

No. I did not. I'm not mexican and I wonder if I should visit Mexico. This amount of murders makes me reconsider. By the way, why do you make this difference between tourists and locals?

now you shifted your argument towards the whole population of this area is responsible for the condition they live in while they deal with poverty

I shift nothing. You accuse me of something that is happening in your head only.

a useless government

Yes, with this kind of murder rate yes, useless government. You think they are efficient?

Pointing in the general direction and blame everyone for a very complex situation makes me think that you're not an intelligent person and definitely not one with the minimum of empathy humans should be able to bring up for one another.

Do you have any comment about the point I made on the ten cities in the world with the highest murder rate being in Mexico? Now can you think as a tourist who is thinking "hmm, maybe I could visit Mexico?" Can you think in these terms?

Hank,

That's a lot of words for telling me that your very first statement isn't true and thus the rest of the discussion in which you tried to change the topic is irrelevant.

I don't intend to participate in your bullshittery that you only keep going because your little ego demands you to win an argument on the internet.

You need to be more clear because I don't understand what you are talking about.

We saw it coming a mile away.
